< Numbers 15 >

1 And the Lord said to Moses,
And YHWH speaks 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 sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you come into the land of your dwellings, which I am giving to 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:
then you have prepared a fire-offering to YHWH, a burnt-offering or a sacrifice, for separating a vow or free-will offering, or in your appointed things, to make a refreshing fragrance to YHWH, out of the herd or out of the flock.
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:
And he who is bringing his offering near to YHWH has brought a present near of a tenth part of flour mixed with a fourth of the 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 you prepare a fourth of the hin of wine for a drink-offering, with the burnt-offering or for the sacrifice, for one 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:
or for a ram you prepare a present of two-tenth parts of flour mixed with a third of the 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 you bring a third part of the hin of wine near for a drink-offering—a refreshing fragrance to YHWH.
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 you make a son of the herd a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice for separating a vow, or peace-offerings to YHWH,
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 he has brought near for the son of the herd a present of three-tenth parts of flour mixed with a half of the 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 you bring a half of the hin of wine near for a drink-offering, [for] a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH;
11 This is to be done for every young ox and for every male sheep or he-lamb or young goat.
thus it is done for one ox, or for one ram, or for a lamb 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 you prepare, so you do to each, 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.
every native does thus with these, for bringing a fire-offering near of refreshing fragrance to YHWH;
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 when a sojourner sojourns with you, or whoever [is] in your midst throughout your generations, and he has made a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH, as you do so he does.
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.
One statute is for you of the congregation and for the sojourner who is sojourning, a continuous statute throughout your generations: as you [are] so is the sojourner before YHWH;
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 ordinance is for you and for the sojourner who is sojourning with you.”
17 And the Lord said to Moses,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
18 Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land where I am guiding you,
“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: In your coming into the land to where I am bringing you in,
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 it has been, in your eating of the bread of the land, you raise up a raised-offering to YHWH;
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.
you raise up a cake of the first of your dough [as] a raised-offering; as the raised-offering of a threshing-floor, so you raise it up.
21 From generation to generation you are to give to the Lord a lifted offering from the first of your rough meal.
You give to YHWH from the first of your dough [as] a raised-offering throughout your generations.
22 And if in error you go against any of these laws which the Lord has given to Moses,
And when you err, and do not do all these commands which YHWH 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;
the whole that YHWH has charged on you by the hand of Moses, from the day that YHWH has commanded and from now on, throughout 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 it has been, if from the eyes of the congregation it has been done through ignorance, that all the congregation has prepared one bullock, a son of the herd, for a burnt-offering, for refreshing fragrance to YHWH, and its present, and its drink-offering, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats 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 has made atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and it has been forgiven them, for it [is] ignorance, and they have brought in their offering, a fire-offering to YHWH, and their sin-offering before YHWH for 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 has been forgiven to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for that all the people [did it] 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.
And if one person sins through ignorance, then he has brought a female goat near, daughter of a 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 has made atonement for the person who is erring, in his sinning through ignorance before YHWH, by making atonement for him, and it has been 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.
one law is for yourselves—for the native among the sons of Israel and for the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst—for him who is doing [anything] 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.
And the person who does [evil] with a high hand—of the native or of the sojourner—he is reviling YHWH, and that person has been cut off from the midst of 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 he despised the word of YHWH and has broken His command, that person is certainly cut off; his iniquity [is] 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.
And the sons of Israel are in the wilderness, and they find a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day,
33 And those who saw him getting sticks took him before Moses and Aaron and all the people.
and those finding him gathering wood bring him near to Moses, and to Aaron, and to 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 place him in confinement, for it [is] not explained what is [to 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 YHWH says to Moses, “The man is certainly put to death [by] all the congregation stoning him with stones at the outside of 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 brings him out to the outside of the camp and stone him with stones, and he dies, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
37 And the Lord said to Moses,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
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 sons of Israel, and you have commanded to them, and they have made fringes on the skirts of their garments for themselves, throughout their generations, and they have put a ribbon of blue on the fringe of the skirt,
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 has been to you for a fringe, and you have seen it, and have remembered all the commands of YHWH, and have done them, and you do not search after your heart and after your eyes, after which you are going whoring,
40 And that you may keep in mind all my orders and do them and be holy to your God.
so that you remember and have done all My commands, and you have been 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] your God YHWH, who has brought you out from the land of Egypt to become your God; I [am] your God YHWH.”
