*
Ye shall make you none idoles nor grauen image ,
neither reare you vp any pillar ,
neither shal ye set any image of stone in your land to bow downe to it :
for I am the Lord your God .
*
Ye shall keepe my Sabbaths ,
and reuerence my Sanctuarie :
I am the Lorde .
*
If ye walke in mine ordinances ,
and keepe my commandements ,
and doe them ,
*
Then I will give you (

By promising abundance of earthly things ,
he stirs the mind to consider the rich treasures of the spiritual blessings .(:
note )
rain in due season ,
and the land shall yield her increase ,
and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit .
*
And your threshing shall reache vnto the vintage ,
and the vintage shall reache vnto sowing time ,
and you shall eate your bread in plenteousnesse ,
and dwell in your land safely .
*
And I will give peace in the land ,
and ye shall lie down ,
and none shall make [
you ]
afraid :
and I will rid evil beasts out of the land ,
neither shall the (
note :)
You shall have no war .(:

sword go through your land .
*
Also ye shall chase your enemies ,
and they shall fall before you vpon the sworde .
*
And fiue of you shall chase an hundreth ,
and an hundreth of you shall put ten thousande to flight ,
and your enemies shall fall before you vpon the sworde .
*
For I will have respect unto you ,
and make you fruitful ,
and multiply you ,
and (

Perform that which I have promised .(:
note )
establish my covenant with you .
*
Ye shall eate also olde store ,
and cary out olde because of the newe .
*
And I will set my (

I will be daily present with you .(:
note )
tabernacle among you :
and my soul shall not abhor you .
*
Also I will walke among you ,
and I wil be your God ,
and ye shalbe my people .
*
I [
am ]
the LORD your God ,
which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt ,
that ye should not be their bondmen ;
and I have broken the (
note :)
I have set you at full liberty ,
while before you were as beasts tied in bands .(:
note )
bands of your yoke ,
and made you go upright .
*
But if ye will not obey me ,
nor do all these commandements ,
*
And if ye shall despise my statutes ,
or if your soul abhor my judgments ,
so that ye will not do all my commandments , [
but ]
that ye break my (
note :)
Which I made with you in choosing you to be my people .(:
note )
covenant :
*
Then wil I also do this vnto you ,
I wil appoint ouer you fearefulnes ,
a consumption ,
and the burning ague to consume the eyes ,
and make the heart heauie ,
and you shall sowe your seede in vaine :
for your enemies shall eate it :
*
And I will set (
note :)
Read (
Lev_17
:10 ).(:
note )
my face against you ,
and ye shall be slain before your enemies :
they that hate you shall reign over you ;
and ye shall flee when none pursueth you .
*
And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me ,
then I will punish you (
note :)
That is ,
more extremely .(:
note )
seven times more for your sins .
*
And I will break the pride of your power ;
and I will make your heaven as (
note :)
You shall have drought and barrenness .(:
note )
iron ,
and your earth as brass :
*
And your strength shalbe spent in vaine :
neither shall your lande giue her increase ,
neither shall the trees of the land giue their fruite .
*
And if ye walk (
note :)
Or as some read ,
by fortune ,
imputing my plagues to chance and fortune .(:
note )
contrary unto me ,
and will not hearken unto me ;
I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins .
*
I will also send wild beasts among you ,
which shall (

:25 ).(:
note )
rob you of your children ,
and destroy your cattle ,
and make you few in number ;
and your Because no one dares to pass by it for fear of the beasts . [
high ]
ways shall be desolate .
*
Yet if by these ye will not be reformed by me ,
but walke stubburnly against me ,
*
Then wil I also walke stubburnly against you ,
and I will smite you yet seuen times for your sinnes :
*
And I wil send a sword vpon you ,
that shal auenge the quarel of my couenant :
and when ye are gathered in your cities ,
I wil send the pestilence among you ,
and ye shall be deliuered into the hand of the enemie .
* [
And ]
when I have broken the (

oven ,
and they shall deliver [
you ]
your bread again by weight :
and ye shall eat ,
and not be satisfied .
*
Yet if ye will not for this obey mee ,
but walke against me stubburnly ,
*
Then will I walke stubburnly in mine anger against you ,
and I will also chastice you seuen times more according to your sinnes .
*
And ye shall eate ye flesh of your sonnes , &
amp ;
the flesh of your daughters shall ye deuoure .
*
I will also destroy your hye places , &
amp ;
cut away your images ,
and cast your carkeises vpon the bodies of your idoles ,
and my soule shall abhorre you .
*
And I will make your cities waste ,
and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation ,
and I (
note :)
I will not accept your sacrifices .(:
note )
will not smell the savour of your sweet odours .
*
I will also bring the land vnto a wildernes ,
and your enemies ,
which dwell therein ,
shalbe astonished thereat .
*
Also I wil scatter you among the heathen ,
and will drawe out a sworde after you , &
amp ;
your land shalbe waste , &
amp ;
your cities shalbe desolate .
*
Then shall the land inioy her Sabbaths ,
as long as it lieth voide ,
and yee shalbe in your enemies land :
then shall the land rest ,
and enioy her Sabbaths .
*
As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest ;
because it did not rest in your (
note :)
Which I commanded you to keep .(:
note )
sabbaths ,
when ye dwelt upon it .
*
And upon them that are left [
alive ]
of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies ;
and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them ;
and they shall (
note :)
As if their enemies chased them .(:
note )
flee ,
as fleeing from a sword ;
and they shall fall when none pursueth .
*
They shall fall also one vpon another ,
as before a sword ,
though none pursue them ,
and ye shall not be able to stand before your enemies :
*
And ye shall perish among the heathen , &
amp ;
the land of your enemies shall eate you vp .
*
And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies '
lands ;
and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with (
note :)
In that ,
as they are blameworthy of their fathers faults ,
they shall be punished as well as their fathers .(:
note )
them .
*
Then they shall confesse their iniquitie , &
amp ;
the wickednes of their fathers for their trespasse ,
which they haue trespassed against mee ,
and also because they haue walked stubburnly against me .
*
Therefore I wil walke stubburnly against them ,
and bring them into the land of their enemies :
so then their vncircumcised hearts shalbe humbled ,
and then they shalt willingly beare the punishment of their iniquitie .
*
Then I will remember my couenant with Iaakob ,
and my couenant also with Izhak ,
and also my couenant with Abraham will I remember ,
and will remember the land .
*
*
Yet notwithstanding this ,
when they shalbe in the lande of their enemies ,
I wil not cast them away ,
neither will I abhorre them ,
to destroy them vtterly ,
nor to breake my couenant with them :
for I am the Lord their God :
*
But I will for their sakes remember the (

Made to their forefathers .(:

covenant of their ancestors ,
whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen ,
that I might be their God :
I [

These [

the statutes and judgments and laws ,
which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount (

Fifty days after they came out of Egypt .(:

Sinai by the hand of Moses .

Moreouer the Lord spake vnto Moses ,
saying ,

Speak unto the children of Israel ,

When a man shall make a (

And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old ,
even thy estimation shall be fifty (

Read the value of the shekel in (
Exo_30

shekels of silver ,
after the shekel of the sanctuary .

But if it be a female ,
then thy valuation shal be thirtie shekels .

And from fiue yere old to twentie yere olde thy valuation shall be for the male twentie shekels ,
and for the female ten shekels .

And if [
it be ]

He speaks of those vows by which the fathers dedicated their children to God who were not of such force ;
but they might be redeemed from them .(:

month old even unto five years old ,
then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver ,
and for the female thy estimation [
shall be ]
three shekels of silver .
*
And from sixty yeere olde and aboue ,
if he be a male ,
then thy price shalbe fifteene shekels ,
and for the female ten shekels .
*
But if he be poorer (
note :)
If he is not able to pay according to your estimate .(:
note )
than thy estimation ,
then he shall present himself before the priest ,
and the priest shall value him ;
according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him .
*
And if [
it be ]
a (

Which is clean , (
Lev_11

beast ,
whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD ,
all that [
any man ]
giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy .

He shall not alter it ,
nor change it ,
a good for a bad ,
or a bad for a good :
and if he shall at all change beast for beast ,
then it and the exchange thereof shall be (
note :)
That is ,
consecrate to the Lord .(:
note )
holy .
*
And if it be any vncleane beast ,
of which men do not offer a sacrifice vnto the Lorde ,
hee shall then present the beast before the Priest .
*
And the Priest shall value it ,
whether it be good or bad :
and as thou valuest it ,
which art the Priest ,
so shall it bee .
*
But if he will bye it againe ,
then hee shall giue the fift part of it more ,
aboue thy valuation .
*
Also whe a man shall dedicate his house to be holy vnto the Lorde ,
then the Priest shall value it ,
whether it be good or bad ,
and as ye Priest shall prise it ,
so shall the value be .
*
But if he that sanctified it ,
will redeeme his house ,
then hee shall giue thereto the fift part of money more then thy estimation , &
amp ;
it shalbe his .
*
And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD [
some part ]
of a field of his possession ,
then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof :

at fifty shekels of silver .
*
If he dedicate his field immediately from the yeere of Iubile ,
it shall bee worth as thou doest esteeme it .
*
But if hee dedicate his fielde after the Iubile ,
then the Priest shall recken him the money according to ye yeeres that remaine vnto the yere of Iubile ,
and it shalbe abated by thy estimation .
*
And if he that dedicateth it ,
will redeeme the fielde ,
then he shall put the fift parte of the price ,
that thou esteemedst it at ,
thereunto ,
and it shall remaine his .
*
And if he will not redeem the field ,
or if he have (

note )

it shall not be redeemed any more .
*
But the field ,
when it goeth out in the jubile ,

who dedicate to the Lord with a curse to him that turns it to his private use , (
Num_21
:2 ;
Deu_13

note )
holy unto the LORD ,
as a field devoted ;
the possession thereof shall be the priest '
s .
*
If a man also dedicate vnto ye Lord a fielde which he hath bought ,
which is not of the groud of his inheritance ,
*
Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation , [
even ]
unto the year of the jubile :
and he shall give (
note :)
The priests evaluation .(:
note )
thine estimation in that day , [
as ]
a holy thing unto the LORD .
*
But in the yeere of Iubile ,
the fielde shall returne vnto him ,
of whome it was bought :
to him ,
I say ,
whose inheritance the land was .
*
And all thy valuation shall bee according to the shekel of the Sanctuarie :
a shekel conteyneth twenty gerahs .
*
Only the firstling of the beasts ,
which should be the LORD '
S firstling ,
no man shall sanctify it ;
whether [
it be ]
ox ,
or sheep :
it [
is ]

But if it be an vncleane beast ,
then he shall redeeme it by thy valuation ,
and giue the fift part more thereto : &
amp ;
if it be not redeemed ,
then it shalbe solde ,
according to thy estimation .
*
Notwithstanding ,
nothing separate from the common vse that a man doeth separate vnto the Lord of all that he hath (
whether it bee man or beast ,
or lande of his inheritance )
may be solde nor redeemed :
for euery thing separate from the common vse is most holy vnto the Lorde .
*
None devoted ,
which shall be devoted of men ,
shall be redeemed ; [
but ]
shall surely be (

It shall remain without redemption .(:

put to death .
*
Also all the tithe of the lande both of the seede of the ground ,
and of the fruite of the trees is the Lords :
it is holy to the Lorde .
*
And if a man will at all redeem [
ought ]
of his tithes ,
he shall add thereto the (

These are the commaundements which the Lord commaunded by Moses vnto the children of Israel in mount Sinai .

A man shall not (

and in the feast of weeks ,
and in the feast of tabernacles .
*
And (
note :)
Christ shows against the superstitious ,
who dwell on every trifling matter ,
that the law of the very sabbath was not given to be kept without exception :
much less that the salvation of man should consist in the outward keeping of it .(:
note )
it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first ,
that he went through the corn fields ;
and his disciples Epiphanius notes well in his treatise ,
where he refutes Ebion ,
that the time when the disciples plucked the ears of the corn was in the feast of unleavened bread .
Now ,
in those feasts which were kept over a period of many days ,
as the feast of tabernacles and passover ,
their first day and the last were very solemn ;

Leviticus .
