[The Pentateuch]

And the Lord spake unto Moses & Aaron saying: destroy not the tribe of the kindreds of the Cahathites / from among the levites. But thus do unto them that they may live and not dye / when they goo unto the most holy place. Aaron and his sons shall goo in and put them / every man unto his service and unto his burden. But let them not goo in to see when they cover the sanctuary / lest they dye.

And the Lorde spake vnto Moses & Aaron sayenge: destroye not the trybe of the kynredes of the Cahathites / from amonge the leuites. But thus doo vnto them that they maye lyve and not dye / whē they goo vnto ye most holy place. Aaron and his sonnes shall goo in and put them / euery man vnto his sernyce and vnto his burthen. But let them not goo in to se when they couer the sanctuarye / lest they dye.

And the Lord spake unto Moses saying Take the sum of the children of Gerson / in the houses of their fathers and in their kin ⟨image 256⟩redes: from .xxx. year and above / until .l. all that are able to goo forth in war / for to do service in the tabernacle of witness. And this is the service of the kindred of the Gersoni tes / to serve and to bear. They shall bear the curtains of the dwelling and the roof of the tabernacle of witness and his covering and the covering of taxus skins that is an high above upon it / and the hanging of the door of the tabernacle of witness: and the hanging of the court and the hanging of the gate of the court that is round about the dwelling and the altar / and the cords of them / and all the instruments that serve unto them and all that is made for them. And at the mouth of Aaron and his sons / shall all the service of the children of the Gersonites be done / in all their charges and in all their service / and the shall appoint them unto all their charges that they shall wait upon. And this is the service of the kindred of the children of the Gersonires in y• tabernacle of witness / and their wait shall be in the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
