< Numbers 15 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses,
And the Lord spoke unto 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 wine for a drink-offering, the fourth of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering or sacrifice, for each one sheep.
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:
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 for the drink offering give a third part of a hin of wine, for a sweet smell 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 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:
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 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.
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 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 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 every young ox and for every male sheep or he-lamb or young 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 Whatever number you make ready, so you are to do for every one.
According to the number that ye may prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
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.
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 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 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 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.
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 law and the rule are to be the same for you and for those from other lands living with you.
One law and one code shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
17 And the Lord said to Moses,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
18 Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land where I am guiding you,
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring 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.
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 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.
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 From generation to generation you are to give to the Lord a lifted offering from the first of your rough meal.
Of the first of your doughs shall ye give unto the Lord a heave-offering, in your generations.
22 And if in error you go against any of these laws which the Lord has given to Moses,
And if ye err, and do not observe all these commandments, which the Lord hath spoken unto 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 hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded [the same] and thenceforward, among your generations:
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.
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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 Now while the children of Israel were in the waste land, they saw a man who was getting sticks 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 And those who saw him getting sticks took him before Moses and Aaron and all the people.
And they that found him gathering sticks brought him for judgment unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
34 And they had him shut up, because they had no directions about what was to be done with him.
And they put him in ward; because it had not been declared what should be done to 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 unto Moses, The man shall be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones 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 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 And the Lord said to Moses,
And the Lord said unto Moses, as followeth,
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 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 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:
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 And that you may keep in mind all my orders and do them and 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 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.
