Numbers 19

¹ But also he that brente the cow, schal waische hise clothis, and bodi, and he schal be vncleene til to euentid. 2 Forsothe a cleene man schal gadere the aischis of the cow, and schal schede out tho with out the tentis, in a place moost cleene, that tho be to the multitude of the sones of Israel in to keping, and in to watir of spryngyng; for the cow is brent for synne. 3 And whanne he that bar the aischis of the cow, hath waische hise clothis, he schal be vncleene til to euentid. And the sones of Israel, and comelyngis that dwellen among hem, schulen haue this hooli bi euerlastynge lawe. ⁴ He that touchith a deed bodi of man, and is vncleene for this bi seuene daies, ⁵ schal be spreynt of this watir in the thridde, and in the seuenthe dai; and so he schal be clensid. If he is not spreynt in the thridde dai, he schal not mow be clensid in the seuenthe dai. ⁶ Ech that touchith the deed bodi bi it silf of mannus soule, and is not spreynt with this medlyng, defoulith the tabernacle of the Lord, and he schal perische fro Israel; for he is not spreynt with the wateris of clensyng, he schal be vncleene, and his filthe schal dwelle on hym. 7 This is the lawe of a man that dieth in the tabernacle; alle that entren in to his tente, and alle vessels that ben there, schulen be defoulid bi seuene daies. 8 A vessel that hath not an hilyng, nethir a byndyng aboue, schal be vncleene. 9 If ony man touchith the deed bodi of man slayn in the feeld, ether deed bi hym silf, ether a boon, ether the sepulcre of hym, he schal be vncleene bi seuene daies. ¹⁰ And thei schulen take of the aischis of the brennyng, and of the synne, and thei schulen sende quyk watris in to a vessel on tho aischis; 11 in whiche whanne a cleene man hath dippid ysope, he schal spreynge therof the tente, and al the purtenaunce of howshold, and men defoulid bi sich defoulyng. ¹² And in this maner a cleene man schal clense an vncleene, in the thridde and in the seuenthe dai; and he schal be clensid in the seuenthe dai. And he schal waische hym silf, and hise clothis, and he schal be vncleene til to euentid. 13 If ony man is not clensid bi this custom, the soule of hym schal perische fro the myddis of the chirche; for he defoulith the seyntuarie of the Lord, and is not spreynt with the watir of clensyng. ¹⁴ This comaundement schal be a lawful thing euerlastynge. Also he that schal sprenge the watris schal waische his clothis; ech man that touchith the watris of clensyng, schal be vncleene til to euentid. 15 What euer thing an vncleene man touchith, he schal make it vncleene; and a soule that touchith ony of these thingis defoulid so, schal be vncleene `til to euentid. ¹⁷ And the sones of Israel and al the multitude camen in to the deseert of Syn, in the firste monethe in the firste monethe of the xl. yeer fro the going out of Egipt. . And the puple dwellide in Cades; and Marie was deed there, and biried in the same place. ¹⁸ And whanne the puple hadde nede to watir, thei yeden togidere ayens Moises and Aaron; and thei weren turned in to dissensioun in to dissencioun, that is, rebelte and stryuyng. , ¹⁹ and seiden, We wolden that we hadden perischid among oure britheren bifor the Lord. ²⁰ Whi han ye led out the chirche of the Lord in to wildirnesse, that bothe we and oure beestis die? ²¹ Whi han ye maad vs to stie from Egipt, and han brouyt vs in to this werste place, which may not be sowun, which nether bryngith forth fige tre, nether vineris, nether pumgranatis, ferthermore and hath not watir to drynke? ²² And whanne the multitude was left, Moises and Aaron entriden in to the tabernacle of boond of pees, and felden lowe to erthe, and crieden to God, and seiden, Lord God, here the cry of this puple, and opene to hem thi tresour, a welle of quyk watir, that whanne thei ben fillid, the grutchyng of hem ceesse. And the glorie of the Lord apperide on hem;
