Both male and female shall ye put out: out of the hoste shall yee put them, that they defile not their tentes among whome I dwell.

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Speake vnto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sinne that men commit, and transgresse against the Lord, when that person shall trespasse,
Then they shall confesse their sinne which they haue done, and shall restore the domage thereof with his principall, and put the fift part of it more thereto, and shall giue it vnto him, against whom he hath trespassed.
