2And he sayde: ye men brethren and fathers harken to. The God of glory appered vnto oure father Abraham whyll he was yet in Mesopotamia before he dwelt in Charran
3and sayd vnto him: come out of thy contre and from thy kynred and come into the londe which I shall shewe the.
4Then came he out of the londe of Chaldey and dwelt in Charran. And after that assone as his father was deed he brought him into this lande in which ye now dwell
5and he gave him none inheritaunce in it no not the bredeth of a fote: but promised that he wolde geve it to him to possesse and to his seed after him when as yet he had no chylde.
6God verely spake on this wyse that his seade shulde be a dweller in a straunge londe and that they shulde kepe them in bondage and entreate them evyll .iiii.C. yeares.
7But the nacion to whom they shalbe in bondage will I iudge sayde God. And after that shall they come forthe and serve me in this place.
8And he gave him the covenaunt of circumcision. And he begat Isaac and circumcised him the viii. daye and Isaac begat Iacob and Iacob the twelve patriarkes.
9And the patriarkes havinge indignacion solde Ioseph into Egipte. And God was with him
10and delivered him out of all his adversities. And gave him faveour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao kynge of Egipte which made him governer over Egipte and over all his housholde.
11Then came ther a derth over all the londe of Egipt and Canaan and great affliccion that our fathers founde no sustenauce.
12But when Iacob hearde that ther was corne in Egipte he sent oure fathers fyrst
13and at the seconde tyme Ioseph was knowen of his brethren and Iosephs kynred was made knowne vnto Pharao.
14Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought and all his kynne thre score and xv. soules.
15And Iacob descended into Egipte and dyed bothe he and oure fathers
16and were translated into Sichem and were put in the sepulcre that Abraham bought for money of the sonnes of Emor at Sichem.
17When the tyme of the promes drue nye (which God had sworme to Abraham) the people grewe and multiplied in Egipte
18till another kynge arose which knewe not of Ioseph.
19The same dealte suttelly with oure kynred and evyll intreated oure fathers and made them to cast oute their younge chyldren that they shuld not remayne alyve.
20The same tyme was Moses borne and was a proper childe in the sight of God which was norisshed vp in his fathers housse thre monethes.
21When he was cast out Pharoes doughter toke him vp and norisshed him vp for her awne sonne.
22And Moses was learned in all maner wisdome of the Egipcians and was mighty in dedes and in wordes.
23And when he was full forty yeare olde it came into his hert to visit his brethren the chyldren of Israhel.
24And when he sawe one of them suffre wronge he defended him and avenged his quarrell that had the harme done to him and smote the Egypcian.
25For he supposed hys brethren wolde have vnderstonde how that God by his hondes shuld save them But they vnderstode not.
26And the next daye he shewed him selfe vnto them as they strove and wolde have set the at one agayne sayinge: Syrs ye are brethren why hurte ye one another?
27But he that dyd his neghbour wronge thrust him awaye sayinge: who made the a rular and a iudge amonge vs?
28What wilt thou kyll me as thou dyddest the Egyptian yester daye?
29Then fleed Moses at that sayenge and was a stranger in the londe of Madian where he begat two sonnes.
30And when .xl. yeares were expired ther appered to him in the wyldernes of mounte Syna an angell of the Lorde in a flamme of fyre in a busshe.
31When Moses sawe it he wondred at the syght. And as he drue neare to beholde the voyce of the Lorde came vnto him:
32I am the God of thy fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Iacob. Moses trembled and durst not beholde.
33Then sayde the Lorde to him: Put of thy showes from thy fete for the place where thou stondest is holy grounde.
34I have perfectly sene the affliccion of my people which is in Egypte and I have hearde their gronynge and am come doune to delyver them. And now come and I will sende the into Egypte.
35This Moses whom they forsoke sayinge: who made the a ruelar and a iudge: the same God sent bothe a ruler and delyverer by the hondes of the angell which appered to him in the busshe.
36And the same brought them out shewynge wonders and signes in Egypte and in the reed see and in the wyldernes .xl. yeares.
37This is that Moses which sayde vnto the chyldre of Israel: A Prophet shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you of youre brethren lyke vnto me him shall ye heare.
38This is he that was in the congregacion in the wyldernes with the angell which spake to him in the moute Syna and with oure fathers. This man receaved the worde of lyfe to geve vnto vs
39to who oure fathers wolde not obeye but cast it from them and in their hertes turned backe agayne into Egypte
40sayinge vnto Aaron: Make vs goddes to goo before vs. For this Moses that brought vs out of the londe of Egypte we wote not what is become of him.
