And here! you have risen up in place of fathers your a brood of people sinful to add again to [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh against Israel.

15 That if ye nylen sue the Lord, in `the wildirnesse he schal forsake the puple, and ye schulen be cause of the deeth of alle men.

For you will turn back! from after him and he will repeat again to leave it in the wilderness and you will destroy all the people this.

23 But if ye doon not that, that ye seien, it is not doute to ony man, that ne ye synnen ayens God; and wite ye, that youre synne schal take you.

And if not you will do! thus there! you have sinned to Yahweh and know sin your that it will find you.
