The Wilderness Years

But if any one person sinne through ignorance, then he shall bring a shee goate of a yeere olde for a sinne offring.

And the Priest shall make an atonement for the ignorant person, when hee sinneth by ignorance before the Lord, to make reconciliation for him: and it shalbe forgiuen him.

He that is borne among the children of Israel, and the stranger that dwelleth among them, shall haue both one lawe, who so doth sinne by ignorance.

But the person that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be borne in the land, or a stranger, the same blasphemeth the Lord: therefore that person shalbe cut off from among his people,

Because he hath despised the worde of the Lord, and hath broken his commandement: that person shalbe vtterly cut off: his iniquitie shalbe vpon him.

And while the children of Israel were in the wildernesse, they found a man that gathered stickes vpon the Sabbath day.

And they that found him gathering sticks, brought him vnto Moses and to Aaron, and vnto all the Congregation,

And they put him warde: for it was not declared what should be done vnto him.

Then the Lord said vnto Moses, This man shall dye the death: and let al the multitude stone him with stones without the hoste.

And all the Congregation brought him without the hoste, and stoned him with stones, and he died, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

Speake vnto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes vpon the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and put vpon the fringes of the borders a ryband of blewe silke.

And ye shall haue the fringes, that when ye looke vpon them, ye may remember all the commandemets of the Lord, and do them: and that ye seeke not after your own heart, nor after your owne eyes, after the which ye go a whoring;

That yee may remember and doe all my commandements, and bee holy vnto your God.

I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to bee your God: I am the Lord your God.

Nowe Korah the sonne of Izhar, the sonne of Kohath, the sonne of Leui went apart with Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab, and On the sonne of Peleth, the sonnes of Reuben:

And they rose vp against Moses, with certaine of the children of Israel, two hundreth and fiftie captaines of the assemblie, famous in the Congregation, and men of renoume,

Who gathered themselues together against Moses, and against Aaron, and sayde vnto them, Ye take too much vpon you, seeing all the Congregation is holie, euery one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherfore then lift ye your selues aboue the Congregation of the Lord?

But when Moses heard it, hee fell vpon his face,

And spake to Korah and vnto all his companie, saying, To morow the Lord will shew who is his, and who is holy, and who ought to approche neere vnto him: and whom he hath chosen, hee will cause to come neere to him.

This doe therefore, Take you censers, both Korah, and all his companie,

And put fire therein, and put incense in the before the Lord to morowe: and the man whome the Lord doeth chuse, the same shalbe holie: ye take too much vpon you, ye sonnes of Leui.

Againe Moses saide vnto Korah, Heare, I pray you, ye sonnes of Leui.

Seemeth it a small thing vnto you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel, to take you neere to himselfe, to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the Congregation and to minister vnto them?

He hath also taken thee to him, and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with thee, and seeke ye the office of the Priest also?
