Numbers 15

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

And the Lord 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 children of Israel and thou shalt say to them: When you shall be come into the land of your habitation, which I will give 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 shall make an offering to the Lord, for a holocaust, or a victim, paying your vows, or voluntarily offering gifts, or in your solemnities burning a sweet savour unto the Lord, of oxen or of sheep:

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.

Whosoever immolateth the victim, shall offer a sacrifice of fine flour, the tenth part of an ephi, tempered 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 he shall give the same measure of wine to pour out in libations for the holocaust or for the victim. For every 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,

And for every ram there shall be a sacrifice of hour of two tenths, which shall be tempered 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 he shall offer the third part of the same measure of wine for the libation, for a sweet savour to the Lord.

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,

But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen, to fulfill thy vow or for victims of peace offerings,

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.

Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered 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 wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering of most sweet savour to the Lord.

11 This is to be done for each bull, ram, lamb, or goat.

Thus shalt thou do:

12 This is how you must prepare each one, no matter how many.

For every ox and ram and lamb and kid.

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.

Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers,

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.

Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite.

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.

There shall be all one law and judgment both for you and for them who are strangers in the land.

16 The same law and the same ordinance will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing with you.”

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

17 Then the LORD said to Moses,

Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them:

18 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing you

When you are come into the land which I will give you,

19 and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.

And shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall separate firstfruits to the Lord,

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 things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of your barnfloors:

21 Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.

So also shall you give firstfruits of your dough to the Lord.

22 Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses—

And if through ignorance you omit any of these things, which the Lord hath 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—

And by him hath commanded you, from the day that he began to command and thenceforward,

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.

And the multitude have forgotten to do it: they shall offer a calf out of the herd, a holocaust for a most sweet savour to the Lord, and the sacrifice and libations thereof, as the ceremonies require, and a buck goat for sin:

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 pray for all the multitude of the children of Israel: and it shall be forgiven them, because they sinned ignorantly, offering notwithstanding a burnt offering to the Lord for themselves and for their sin and their ignorance:

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 it shall be forgiven all the people of the children of Israel: and the strangers that sojourn among them: because it is the fault of all the people through ignorance.

27 Also, if one person sins unintentionally, he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.

But if one soul shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer a she goat of a year old for his sin.

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 pray for him, because he sinned ignorantly before the Lord: and he shall obtain his pardon, and it shall be forgiven him.

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.

The same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance, whether they be natives or strangers.

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 committeth any thing through pride, whether he be born in the land or a stranger (because he hath been rebellious against the Lord) 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.”

For he hath contemned the word the Lord, and made void his precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall bear his iniquity.

32 While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.

And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and had found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day,

33 Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation,

That they brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole multitude.

34 and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody.

And they put him into prison, not knowing what they should do with 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 the Lord said to Moses: Let that man die, let all the multitude stone him without 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 when they had brought him out, they stoned him, and he died as the Lord had commanded.

37 Later, the LORD said to Moses,

The Lord also said to Moses:

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 children of Israel, and thou shalt tell them I to make to themselves fringes in the corners of their garments, putting in them ribands 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.

That when they shall see them, they may remember all the commandments of the Lord, and not follow their own thoughts and eyes going astray after divers things,

40 Then you will remember and obey all My commandments, and you will be holy to your God.

But rather being mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and be holy to their 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 the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.
