< Numbers 15 >
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land that I am giving you as a home
Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,
3 and you present an offering made by fire to the LORD from the herd or flock to produce a pleasing aroma to the LORD—either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, for a special vow or freewill offering or appointed feast—
and will make an offering by fire to Jehovah, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor to Jehovah, of the herd, or of the flock,
4 then the one presenting his offering to the LORD shall also present a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.
then he who offers his oblation shall offer to Jehovah a meal offering of a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil.
5 With the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb, you are to prepare a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering.
And wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, thou shall prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
6 With a ram you are to prepare a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,
Or for a ram, thou shall prepare for a meal offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil.
7 and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
And for the drink offering thou shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor to Jehovah.
8 When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the LORD,
And when thou prepare a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Jehovah;
9 present with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil.
then he shall offer with the bullock a meal offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil.
10 Also present half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It is an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
And thou shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Jehovah.
11 This is to be done for each bull, ram, lamb, or goat.
Thus shall it be done for each bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids.
12 This is how you must prepare each one, no matter how many.
According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
13 Everyone who is native-born shall prepare these things in this way when he presents an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
All who are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Jehovah.
14 And for the generations to come, if a foreigner residing with you or someone else among you wants to prepare an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, he is to do exactly as you do.
And if a stranger sojourns with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Jehovah; as ye do, so he shall do.
15 The assembly is to have the same statute both for you and for the foreign resident; it is a permanent statute for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the LORD.
For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger who sojourns with you, a statute forever throughout your generations. As ye are, so shall the sojourner be before Jehovah.
16 The same law and the same ordinance will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing with you.”
One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who sojourns with you.
17 Then the LORD said to Moses,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
18 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing you
Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land where I bring you,
19 and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.
then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave offering to Jehovah.
20 From the first of your dough, you are to lift up a cake as a contribution; offer it just like an offering from the threshing floor.
Of the first of your dough ye shall offer up a cake for a heave offering, as the heave offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye heave it.
21 Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.
Of the first of your dough ye shall give to Jehovah a heave offering throughout your generations.
22 Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses—
And when ye shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Jehovah has spoken to Moses,
23 all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come—
even all that Jehovah has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations,
24 and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, then the whole congregation is to prepare one young bull as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.
then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor to Jehovah, with the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it, according to the ordinance, and one he-goat for a sin offering.
25 The priest is to make atonement for the whole congregation of Israel, so that they may be forgiven; for the sin was unintentional and they have brought to the LORD an offering made by fire and a sin offering, presented before the LORD for their unintentional sin.
And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they shall be forgiven, for it was an error, and they have brought their oblation, an offering made by fire to Jehovah, and their sin offering before Jehovah, for their error.
26 Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.
And all the congregation of the sons of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who sojourns among them, for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.
27 Also, if one person sins unintentionally, he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.
And if one soul sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a she-goat a year old for a sin offering.
28 And the priest shall make atonement before the LORD on behalf of the person who erred by sinning unintentionally; and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven.
And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that errs, when he sins unwittingly, before Jehovah, to make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.
29 You shall have the same law for the one who acts in error, whether he is a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.
Ye shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is home-born among the sons of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourns among them.
30 But the person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person shall be cut off from among his people.
But the soul that does anything with a high hand, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, the same blasphemes Jehovah, and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31 He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.”
Because he has despised the word of Jehovah, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
32 While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
And while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath day.
33 Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation,
And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
34 and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody.
And they put him in ward, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
35 And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, The man shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.
36 So the whole congregation took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
And all the congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
37 Later, the LORD said to Moses,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
38 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout the generations to come they are to make for themselves tassels for the corners of their garments, with a blue cord on each tassel.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and bid them that they make for them hems in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the hem of each border a cord of blue.
39 These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the commandments of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by following your own heart and your own eyes.
And it shall be to you for a hem, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them, and that ye not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to play the harlot,
40 Then you will remember and obey all My commandments, and you will be holy to your God.
that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.
41 I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.”
I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am Jehovah your God.
