[The Pentateuch]

And Moses & Aaron fell on their faces before all the congregation of the multitude of the children of Israel. And Joshua the son of Nun / and Caleb the son of Jephune which were of them that searched the land rent their clothes and spake unto all the company of the children of Israel saying: The land which we walked through to search it / is a very good land. If the Lord have lust to us / he will bring us in to this land & give it us / which is a land y• floweth with milk & honey. But in any wise rebel not against ⟨image 274⟩the Lord / Moreover fear ye not the people of the land / for they are but bred for us. Their shield is departed from them / & the Lord is with us: fear them not therefore.

And Moses & Aaron fell on their faces before all the congregacion of the multitude of the childern of Israel. And Iosua the sonne of Nun / and Caleb the sonne of Iephune which were of them that serched the londe rent their clothes and spake vnto all the companye of the childern of Ysrael saynge: The londe which we walked thorowe to serche it / is a very good lande. Yf the Lorde haue lust to vs / he will bringe vs in to this londe & geue it vs / which is a lond y• floweth with mylke & hony. But in any wise rebell not agenst ⟨image 274⟩the Lorde / Moreouer feare ye not the people of the londe / for they are but bred for vs. Their shylde is departed from them / & the Lorde is with vs: feare them not therfore.

And all the whole multitude bade stone them with stones. But the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of witness / unto all the children of Israel. And the Lord said unto Moses: Howe longest all this people rail upon me / and how long will it be / ere they believe me / for all my signs which I have showed among them? I will smite them with the pestilence & destroy them / and will make of the a greater nation and a mightier then they.
