Numbers 15
1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yahweh 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 tell them, ‘When you have come into the land of your habitations, 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 will make an offering by fire to Yahweh—a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a free will offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, of the herd, or of 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 who offers his offering shall offer to Yahweh a meal offering of one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one fourth of a hin of oil.
5 and he shall give the same measure of wine, poured out as libations, whether as a holocaust or as a victim.
You shall prepare wine for the drink offering, one fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
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.
“‘For a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil;
7 And he shall offer the same measure, one third part of wine, for the libation, as a sweet odor to the Lord.
and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
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,
When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh,
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 he shall offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil;
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 you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
11 So shall you do
Thus it shall be done for each bull, for each ram, for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats.
12 for each ox, and ram, and lamb, and young goat.
According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number.
13 Both natives and sojourners
“‘All who are native-born shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
14 shall offer sacrifices by the same rituals.
If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, as you do, so he shall do.
15 There shall be one precept and one judgment, as much for yourselves as for newcomers to the land.”
For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner, a statute forever throughout your generations. As you are, so the foreigner shall be before Yahweh.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
One law and one ordinance shall be for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.’”
17 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18 When you will arrive in the land which I will give to you,
“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land where 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 be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh.
20 from the foods that you eat. Just as you separate the first-fruits of your threshing floors,
Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering. As the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it.
21 so also shall you give the first-fruits of your cooked grains to the Lord.
Of the first of your dough, you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations.
22 And if, through ignorance, you neglect any of these things, which the Lord has spoken to Moses,
“‘When you err, and don’t observe all these commandments which Yahweh has spoken to Moses—
23 and which he has commanded through him for you, from the day that he began to command and thereafter,
even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment and onward 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 be, if it was done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, with its meal offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat 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.
The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error.
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.
All the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, as well as the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for with regard to all the people, it was done unwittingly.
27 But if one soul will have sinned by not knowing, he shall offer a one-year-old she-goat for his sin.
“‘If a person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat 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.
The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs when he sins unwittingly before Yahweh. He shall make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.
29 One law shall be for all who sin by ignorance, as much for natives as for newcomers.
You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.
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.
“‘But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, blasphemes Yahweh. That soul shall be cut off from among 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.”
Because he has despised Yahweh’s word, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall be utterly cut off. His iniquity shall be on 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,
While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.
33 they brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to the whole multitude.
Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
34 And they enclosed him in a prison, not knowing what they should do with him.
They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done 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.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “The man shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp.”
36 And when they had led him out, they overwhelmed him with stones, and he died, just as the Lord had instructed.
All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
37 The Lord also said to Moses:
Yahweh 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 tell them that they should make themselves fringes on the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord 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,
It shall be to you for a fringe, that you may see it, and remember all Yahweh’s commandments, and do them; and that you don’t follow your own heart and your own eyes, after which you used to play the prostitute;
40 but instead, they, being more mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and may be holy to their God.
so that you may remember and do all my commandments, and 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 Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God.”
