Numbers 15

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land that I am giving you as a home

Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When ye shall have come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto 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 ye will prepare a fire-offering unto the Lord, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, in performing a pronounced vow, or as a freewill-offering, or on your solemn feasts, to prepare a sweet savor unto the Lord, of the herds of the flocks:

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 shall he that bringeth his offering unto the Lord, bring as a meat-offering a tenth part of fine flour mingled with the fourth 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 a drink-offering, the fourth of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering or sacrifice, for each one sheep.

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,

But for a ram, shalt thou prepare as a meat-offering two tenth parts of fine flour mingled with the third 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 wine for the drink-offering, the third of a hin, shalt thou bring, for a sweet savor unto 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,

And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, in performing a pronounced vow, or a peace-offering unto the Lord:

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 shall he bring with the bullock as a meat-offering, three tenth parts 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 wine shalt thou bring for a drink-offering, half a hin, as a fire-offering of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

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

Thus shall it be done for each one bullock, or for each one ram, or for a lamb, be it of the sheep or of the goats.

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

According to the number that ye may 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 that are born in the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering a fire-offering of a sweet savor unto the Lord.

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 sojourn with you, or whosoever may be among you in your generations, and will make an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord: as ye do, so shall he 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.

Congregation! one statute shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth: a statute for ever in your generations; as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.

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

One law and one code shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

17 Then the LORD said to Moses,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

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

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you:

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

Then shall it be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall set aside a heave-offering unto 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.

As the first of your doughs shall ye set aside a cake for a heave-offering; like the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye set this aside.

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

Of the first of your doughs shall ye give unto the Lord a heave-offering, in your generations.

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

And if ye err, and do not observe all these commandments, which the Lord hath spoken unto 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—

All that the Lord hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded [the same] and thenceforward, among 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 shall it be, if, through inadvertence of the congregation, it was committed by ignorance, that all the congregation shall prepare one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor unto the Lord, with his meat-offering, and his drink-offering, according to the prescribed manner, 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 an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven unto them; for it is [a sin of] ignorance; and they have brought their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and their sin-offering before the Lord, for their [sin of] 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 unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them; for by all the people [was it done] in ignorance.

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

And if any person sin through ignorance, then shall he bring a she-goat of the first year 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 an atonement for the person that hath erred, in his sinning through ignorance before the Lord; to make an atonement for him, that it may be forgiven unto 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.

For the native born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them: —one law shall be for you, for him that acteth through ignorance.

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 person that doth aught with a high hand, be he one born in the land, or a stranger, the same dishonoreth the Lord; and that person 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 the word of the Lord hath he despised, and his commandment hath he broken; that person shall be cut off, his iniquity is upon him.

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

And while the children 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 they that found him gathering sticks brought him for judgment unto Moses and Aaron, and unto 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 the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones 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 all the congregation brought him forth to without the camp, and they stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

37 Later, the LORD said to Moses,

And the Lord said unto Moses, as followeth,

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 unto the children of Israel, and say to them, that they shall make themselves fringes on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put upon the fringe of the corner a thread 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 unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye seek not after [the inclination of] your own heart and [the delight of] your eyes, in pursuit of which ye have been led astray.

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

In order that ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto 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 the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.
