Numbers 15

1 And the Lord said to Moses,

Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 Say to the children of Israel, When you have come into the land which I am giving to you for your resting-place,

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

3 And are going to make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burned offering or an offering in connection with an oath, or an offering freely given, or at your regular feasts, an offering for a sweet smell to the Lord, from the herd or the flock:

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—

4 Then let him who is making his offering, give to the Lord a meal offering of a tenth part of a measure of the best meal mixed with a fourth part of a hin of oil:

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.

5 And for the drink offering, you are to give with the burned offering or other offering, the fourth part of a hin of wine for every lamb.

With the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb, you are to prepare a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering.

6 Or for a male sheep, give as a meal offering two tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with a third part of a hin of oil:

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,

7 And for the drink offering give a third part of a hin of wine, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

8 And when you make ready a young ox for a burned or other offering, or for the effecting of an oath, or for peace-offerings to the Lord:

When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the LORD,

9 Then with the ox give a meal offering of three tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with half a hin of oil.

present with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil.

10 And for the drink offering: give half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

Also present half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It is an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

11 This is to be done for every young ox and for every male sheep or he-lamb or young goat.

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

12 Whatever number you make ready, so you are to do for every one.

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

13 All those who are Israelites by birth are to do these things in this way, when giving an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord.

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.

14 And if a man from another country or any other person living among you, through all your generations, has the desire to give an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord, let him do as you do.

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.

15 There is to be one law for you and for the man of another country living with you, one law for ever from generation to generation; as you are, so is he to be before the Lord.

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.

16 The law and the rule are to be the same for you and for those from other lands living with you.

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

17 And the Lord said to Moses,

Then the LORD said to Moses,

18 Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land where I am guiding you,

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

19 Then, when you take for your food the produce of the land, you are to give an offering lifted up before the Lord.

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

20 Of the first of your rough meal you are to give a cake for a lifted offering, lifting it up before the Lord as the offering of the grain-floor is lifted up.

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.

21 From generation to generation you are to give to the Lord a lifted offering from the first of your rough meal.

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

22 And if in error you go against any of these laws which the Lord has given to Moses,

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

23 All the laws which the Lord has given you by the hand of Moses, from the day when the Lord gave them, and ever after from generation to generation;

all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come—

24 Then, if the wrong is done in error, without the knowledge of the meeting of the people, let all the meeting give a young ox as a burned offering, a sweet smell to the Lord, with its meal offering and its drink offering, as is ordered in the law, together with a he-goat for a sin-offering.

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.

25 So the priest will make the people free from sin, and they will have forgiveness; for it was an error, and they have given their offering made by fire to the Lord, and their sin-offering before the Lord, on account of their error:

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.

26 And all the meeting of the children of Israel, as well as those from other lands living among them, will have forgiveness; for it was an error on the part of the people.

Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.

27 And if one person does wrong, without being conscious of it, then let him give a she-goat of the first year for a sin-offering.

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

28 And the priest will take away the sin of the person who has done wrong, if the wrong was done unconsciously, and he will have forgiveness.

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.

29 The law in connection with wrong done unconsciously is to be the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from another country who is living among them.

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.

30 But the person who does wrong in the pride of his heart, if he is one of you or of another nation by birth, is acting without respect for the Lord, and will be cut off from his people.

But the person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person shall be cut off from among his people.

31 Because he had no respect for the word of the Lord, and did not keep his law, that man will be cut off without mercy and his sin will be on him.

He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.”

32 Now while the children of Israel were in the waste land, they saw a man who was getting sticks on the Sabbath day.

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

33 And those who saw him getting sticks took him before Moses and Aaron and all the people.

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

34 And they had him shut up, because they had no directions about what was to be done with him.

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

35 Then the Lord said to Moses, Certainly the man is to be put to death: let him be stoned by all the people outside the tent-circle.

And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.”

36 So all the people took him outside the tent-circle and he was stoned to death there, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

So the whole congregation took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

37 And the Lord said to Moses,

Later, the LORD said to Moses,

38 Say to the children of Israel that through all their generations they are to put on the edges of their robes an ornament of twisted threads, and in every ornament a blue cord;

“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.

39 So that, looking on these ornaments, you may keep in mind the orders of the Lord and do them; and not be guided by the desires of your hearts and eyes, through which you have been untrue to me:

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.

40 And that you may keep in mind all my orders and do them and be holy to your God.

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

41 I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, so that I might 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.”
