[The Pentateuch]

And when king Arad the canaanite which dwelt in the south parties / hard tell that Israel came by the way that the spies had found out: he came and fought with Israel and toke some of them prisoners. Then Israel vowed a vow unto the Lord and said: If thou wilt give this people in to our hands / we will destroy their cities. And the Lord heard the voice of Israel / and delivered them the Canaanites. And they destroyed both them and their cities / and called the place Horma.

Then Israel vowed a vowe vnto the Lorde and sayed: Yf thou wilt geue this people in to oure hādes / we will destroye their cities. And the Lorde herde ye voyce of Israel / ād delyuered them the Cananites. And they destroyed both them and their cities / and called the place Horma.

Then they departed from mount hortowarde the red see: to compass the land of Edom. And the souls of the people fainted by the way. And the people spake against God and against Moses: wherefore hast thou brought us out of Egypt / for to dye in the wilderness for here is nether bred nor water / and our souls loatheth this light bred.

Then they departed from mount hortowarde the redd se: to compasse the londe of Edō. And the soules of the people faynted by the waye. And the people spake agenst God and agenst Moses: wherfore hast thou brought us out of Egipte / for to dye in the wildernesse for here is nether bred nor water / and oure soules lotheth this lyghte bred.

Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people / which stung them: so that much people dyed in Israel. And the people came to Moses and said: we have sinned / for we have spoken against the Lord and against the make intercession to the Lord / that he take a wayeth serpents from us And Moses made intercession for the people. And the Lord said unto Moses: make the a serpent and ham ge it up for a sign / and let as many as are bitten look upon it and they shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass and set it up for a sign And when the serpents had bitten any man / he went and beheld the serpent of brass and recovered.
