< Numbers 15 >

1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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 unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land of your dwellings, which I am giving 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:
then ye have prepared a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, at separating a vow or free-will-offering, or in your appointed things, to make a sweet fragrance to Jehovah, out of the herd, or out 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,
'And he who is bringing near his offering to Jehovah hath brought near a present of flour, a tenth deal, mixed with a fourth of the 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.
and wine for a libation, a fourth of the hin thou dost prepare for the burnt-offering or for a sacrifice, for the one 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.
or for a ram thou dost prepare a present of flour, two-tenth deals, mixed with oil, a third of the 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 wine for a libation, a third part of the hin, thou dost bring near — a sweet fragrance to Jehovah.
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 when thou makest a son of the herd a burnt-offering or a sacrifice, at separating a vow or peace-offerings to Jehovah,
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 hath brought near for the son of the herd a present of flour, three-tenth deals, mixed with oil, a half of the 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 thou bringest near for a libation, a half of the hin — a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah;
11 So shall you do
thus it is done for the one ox, or for the one ram, or for a lamb of the sheep or of the goats.
12 for each ox, and ram, and lamb, and young goat.
'According to the number that ye prepare, so ye do to each, according to their number;
13 Both natives and sojourners
every native doth thus with these, at bringing near a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah;
14 shall offer sacrifices by the same rituals.
and when a sojourner sojourneth with you, or whoso [is] in your midst to your generations, and he hath made a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah, as ye do so he doth.
15 There shall be one precept and one judgment, as much for yourselves as for newcomers to the land.”
'One statute is for you of the congregation and for the sojourner who is sojourning, a statute age-during to your generations: as ye [are] so is the sojourner before Jehovah;
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
one law and one ordinance is to you and to the sojourner who is sojourning with you.'
17 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
18 When you will arrive in the land which I will give to you,
'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, In your coming in unto the land whither I am bringing you in,
19 and when you will eat from the bread of that region, you shall separate the first-fruits to the Lord
then it hath been, in your eating of the bread of the land, ye heave up a heave-offering to Jehovah;
20 from the foods that you eat. Just as you separate the first-fruits of your threshing floors,
the beginning of your dough a cake ye heave up — a heave-offering; as the heave-offering of a threshing-floor, so ye do heave it.
21 so also shall you give the first-fruits of your cooked grains to the Lord.
Of the beginning of your dough ye do give to Jehovah a heave-offering — to your generations.
22 And if, through ignorance, you neglect any of these things, which the Lord has spoken to Moses,
'And when ye err, and do not all these commands which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses,
23 and which he has commanded through him for you, from the day that he began to command and thereafter,
the whole that Jehovah hath charged upon you by the hand of Moses, from the day that Jehovah hath commanded, and henceforth, to 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 hath been, if from the eyes of the company it hath been done in ignorance, that all the company have prepared one bullock, a son of the herd, for a burnt-offering, for sweet fragrance to Jehovah, and its present, and its libation, 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 hath made atonement for all the company of the sons of Israel, and it hath been forgiven them, for it [is] ignorance, and they — they have brought in their offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah, even their sin-offering before Jehovah for their ignorance;
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 hath been forgiven to all the company of the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst; for to all the company [it is done] in ignorance.
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 person sin in ignorance, then he hath brought near a she-goat, daughter of a year, 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 hath made atonement for the person who is erring, in his sinning in ignorance before Jehovah, by making atonement for him, and it hath been forgiven him;
29 One law shall be for all who sin by ignorance, as much for natives as for newcomers.
for the native among the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst — one law is to you, for him who is doing [anything] through ignorance.
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 the person who doth [aught] with a high hand — of the native or of the sojourner — Jehovah he is reviling, and that person hath been cut off from the midst of 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 the word of Jehovah he despised, and His command hath broken — that person is certainly cut off; his iniquity [is] 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,
And the sons of Israel are in the wilderness, and they find a man gathering wood on the sabbath-day,
33 they brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to the whole multitude.
and those finding him gathering wood bring him near unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company,
34 And they enclosed him in a prison, not knowing what they should do with him.
and they place him in ward, for it [is] not explained what is [to 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.”
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'The man is certainly put to death, all the company stoning him with stones, at the 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.
And all the company bring him out unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones, and he dieth, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
37 The Lord also said to Moses:
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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 unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, and they have made for themselves fringes on the skirts of their garments, to their generations, and they have put on the fringe of the skirt a ribbon 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 hath been to you for a fringe, and ye have seen it, and have remembered all the commands of Jehovah, and have done them, and ye search not after your heart, and after your eyes, after which ye are going 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.
so that ye remember and have done all My commands, and ye have been 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] Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt to become your God; I, Jehovah, [am] your God.'
