Numbers 15
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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 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 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 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 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:
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 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.
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 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:
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 for the drink offering give a third part of a hin of wine, for a sweet smell 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 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:
But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen, to fulfill thy vow or for victims of peace offerings,
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.
Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered with half a hin of 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.
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 every young ox and for every male sheep or he-lamb or young goat.
Thus shalt thou do:
12 Whatever number you make ready, so you are to do for every one.
For every ox and ram and lamb and kid.
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.
Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers,
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.
Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite.
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.
There shall be all one law and judgment both for you and for them who are strangers in the land.
16 The law and the rule are to be the same for you and for those from other lands living with you.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 And the Lord said to Moses,
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them:
18 Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land where I am guiding you,
When you are come into the land which I will give 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 shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall separate firstfruits 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.
Of the things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of your barnfloors:
21 From generation to generation you are to give to the Lord a lifted offering from the first of your rough meal.
So also shall you give firstfruits of your dough to the Lord.
22 And if in error you go against any of these laws which the Lord has given to Moses,
And if through ignorance you omit any of these things, which the Lord hath 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;
And by him hath commanded you, from the day that he began to command and thenceforward,
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 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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
But if one soul shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer a she goat of a year old for his sin.
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 pray for him, because he sinned ignorantly before the Lord: and he shall obtain his pardon, and it shall be forgiven him.
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.
The same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance, whether they be natives or strangers.
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 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 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.
For he hath contemned the word the Lord, and made void his precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall bear his iniquity.
32 Now while the children of Israel were in the waste land, they saw a man who was getting sticks 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 And those who saw him getting sticks took him before Moses and Aaron and all the people.
That they brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole multitude.
34 And they had him shut up, because they had no directions about what was to be done with him.
And they put him into prison, not knowing what they should do with him.
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: Let that man die, let all the multitude stone him without 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.
And when they had brought him out, they stoned him, and he died as the Lord had commanded.
37 And the Lord said to Moses,
The Lord also 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 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 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:
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 And that you may keep in mind all my orders and do them and 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 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, that I might be your God.
