Numbers 15
1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land of your habitation, which I will give you,
Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, When you are come into the land of your habitation, which I give to you,
3 and you make an offering to the Lord, as a holocaust or as a victim, paying your vows, or as a voluntary offering of gifts, or in your solemnities, burning a sweet odor to the Lord, whether from the oxen or from the sheep:
and you will offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord, a whole burnt offering or a meat-offering to perform a vow, or a free-will offering, or to offer in your feasts a sacrifice of sweet savour to the Lord, whether of the herd or the flock:
4 whoever immolates the victim shall offer a sacrifice of fine wheat flour, the tenth part of an ephah, sprinkled with oil, which shall have the measure of the fourth part of a hin,
then he that offers his gift to the Lord shall bring a meat-offering of fine flour, a tenth part of an ephah mingled with oil, even with the fourth part of a hin.
5 and he shall give the same measure of wine, poured out as libations, whether as a holocaust or as a victim.
And for a drink-offering you shall offer the fourth part of a hin on the whole burnt offering, or on the meat-offering: for every lamb you shall offer so much, as a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
6 With each lamb and each ram, there shall be a sacrifice of fine wheat flour, of two tenths, which shall be sprinkled with one third part of a hin of oil.
And for a ram, when you offer it as a whole burnt offering or as a sacrifice, you shall prepare as a meat-offering two tenths of fine flour mingled with oil, the third part of a hin.
7 And he shall offer the same measure, one third part of wine, for the libation, as a sweet odor to the Lord.
And you shall offer for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord wine for a drink-offering, the third part of a hin.
8 Yet truly, when you will offer, from the oxen, a holocaust or a victim, in order to fulfill your vow or for peace-offering victims,
And if you sacrifice [a bullock] from the herd for a whole burnt offering or for a sacrifice, to perform a vow or a peace-offering to the Lord,
9 you shall give, for each ox, three tenths of fine wheat flour, sprinkled with oil, which has the measure of one half of one hin,
then [the worshipper] shall offer upon the calf a meat-offering, three tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, [even] the half of a hin.
10 and the wine, poured out as libations, shall be of the same measure, as an oblation of most sweet odor to the Lord.
And wine for a drink-offering the half of a hin, a sacrifice for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
11 So shall you do
Thus shall you do to one calf or to one ram, or to one lamb of the sheep or kid of the goats.
12 for each ox, and ram, and lamb, and young goat.
According to the number of what you shall offer, so shall you do to each one, according to their number.
13 Both natives and sojourners
Every native of the country shall do thus to offer such things as sacrifices for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
14 shall offer sacrifices by the same rituals.
And if there should be a stranger amongst you in your land, or one who should be born to you amongst your generations, and he will offer a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord—as you do, so the [whole] congregation shall offer to the Lord.
15 There shall be one precept and one judgment, as much for yourselves as for newcomers to the land.”
There shall be one law for you and for the strangers dwelling amongst you, a perpetual law for your generations: as you [are], so shall the stranger be before the Lord.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
There shall be one law and one ordinance for you, and for the stranger that abides amongst you.
17 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
18 When you will arrive in the land which I will give to you,
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, When you are entering into the land, into which I bring you,
19 and when you will eat from the bread of that region, you shall separate the first-fruits to the Lord
then it shall come to pass, when you shall eat of the bread of the land, you shall separate a wave-offering, a special offering to the Lord, the first fruits of your dough.
20 from the foods that you eat. Just as you separate the first-fruits of your threshing floors,
You shall offer your bread a heave-offering: as a heave-offering from the threshing floor, so shall you separate it,
21 so also shall you give the first-fruits of your cooked grains to the Lord.
even the first fruits of your dough, and you shall give the Lord a heave-offering throughout your generations.
22 And if, through ignorance, you neglect any of these things, which the Lord has spoken to Moses,
But whenever you shall transgress, and not perform all these commands, which the Lord spoke to Moses;
23 and which he has commanded through him for you, from the day that he began to command and thereafter,
as the Lord appointed you by the hand of Moses, from the day which the Lord appointed you and forward throughout your generations,
24 and if the multitude will have forgotten to do it, then they shall offer a calf from the herd, a holocaust as a most sweet odor to the Lord, and its sacrifice and libations, just as the ceremonies ask, and a he-goat for sin.
then it shall come to pass, if a trespass be committed unwillingly, unknown to the congregation, then shall all the congregation offer a calf of the herd without blemish for a whole burnt offering of sweet savour to the Lord, and its meat-offering and its drink-offering according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering.
25 And the priest shall pray for the entire multitude of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, because they did not sin willfully. Nevertheless, they shall offer incense to the Lord for themselves, and for sin, as well as for their error.
And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and [the trespass] shall be forgiven them, because it is involuntary; and they have brought their gift, a burnt offering to the Lord for their trespass before the Lord, even for their involuntary sins.
26 And it shall be forgiven all the people of the sons of Israel, as well as the newcomers who sojourn among them, for it is the culpability of all the people through neglect.
And it shall be forgiven as respects all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that is dwelling amongst you, because [it is] involuntary to all the people.
27 But if one soul will have sinned by not knowing, he shall offer a one-year-old she-goat for his sin.
And if one soul sin unwillingly, he shall bring one she-goat of a year old for a sin-offering.
28 And the priest shall pray for him, because he sinned unknowingly before the Lord. And he shall obtain pardon for him, and it will be forgiven him.
And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that committed the trespass unwillingly, and that sinned unwillingly before the Lord, to make atonement for him.
29 One law shall be for all who sin by ignorance, as much for natives as for newcomers.
There shall be one law for the native amongst the children of Israel, and for the stranger that abides amongst them, whoever shall commit a trespass unwillingly.
30 Yet truly, the soul who commits any of these acts through arrogance, whether he is a citizen or a sojourner, because he has rebelled against the Lord, shall perish from among his people.
And whatever soul either of the natives or of the strangers shall do any thing with a presumptuous hand, he will provoke God; that soul shall be cut off from his people,
31 For he has despised the word of the Lord, and he has nullified his precept. For this reason, he shall be destroyed, and he shall bear his iniquity.”
for he has set at nothing the word of the Lord and broken his commands: that soul shall be utterly destroyed, his sin [is] upon him.
32 And it happened that, when the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, and they had found a man collecting wood on the day of the Sabbath,
And the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath-day.
33 they brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to the whole multitude.
And they who found him gathering sticks on the sabbath-day brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel.
34 And they enclosed him in a prison, not knowing what they should do with him.
And they placed him in custody, for they did not determine what they should do to him.
35 And the Lord said to Moses, “Let that man be put to death; let the entire crowd crush him with stones, outside the camp.”
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Let the man be by all means put to death: [do you] all the congregation, stone him with stones.
36 And when they had led him out, they overwhelmed him with stones, and he died, just as the Lord had instructed.
And all the congregation brought him forth out of the camp; and all the congregation stoned him with stones outside the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses.
37 The Lord also said to Moses:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
38 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall tell them to make for themselves hems at the corners of their cloaks, placing in them ribbons of hyacinth,
Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall tell them; and let them make for themselves fringes upon the borders of their garments throughout their generations: and you shall put upon the fringes of the borders a lace of blue.
39 so that, when they see these, they may remember all the commandments of the Lord, and they may not follow their own thoughts and eyes, fornicating in various ways,
And it shall be on your fringes, and you shall look on them, and you shall remember all the commands of the Lord, and do them: and you shall not turn back after your imaginations, and after [the sight of your] eyes in the things after which you go a whoring;
40 but instead, they, being more mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and may be holy to their God.
that you may remember and perform all my commands, and you shall be holy to your God.
41 I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I may be your God.”
I [am] the Lord your God that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the Lord your God.
