< Numbers 15 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the children of Israel and thou shalt say to them: When you shall be come into the land of your habitation, which I will give you,
“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 shall make an offering to the Lord, for a holocaust, or a victim, paying your vows, or voluntarily offering gifts, or in your solemnities burning a sweet savour unto the Lord, of oxen or of sheep:
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 Whosoever immolateth the victim, shall offer a sacrifice of fine flour, the tenth part of an ephi, tempered with the 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 he shall give the same measure of wine to pour out in libations for the holocaust or for the victim. 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 And for every ram there shall be a sacrifice of hour of two tenths, which shall be tempered with the 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 he shall offer the third part of the same measure of wine for the libation, for a sweet savour 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 But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen, to fulfill thy vow or for victims of peace offerings,
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 Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered 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 wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering of most sweet savour 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 Thus shalt thou do:
thus it is done for one ox, or for one ram, or for a lamb of the sheep or of the goats.
12 For every ox and ram and lamb and kid.
According to the number that you prepare, so you do to each, according to their number;
13 Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers,
every native does thus with these, for bringing a fire-offering near of refreshing fragrance to YHWH;
14 Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite.
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 shall be all one law and judgment both for you and for them who are strangers in the land.
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 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
one law and one ordinance is for you and for the sojourner who is sojourning with you.”
17 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
18 When you are come into the land which I will give 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 And shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall separate firstfruits to 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 things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of your barnfloors:
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 So also shall you give firstfruits of your dough to the Lord.
You give to YHWH from the first of your dough [as] a raised-offering throughout your generations.
22 And if through ignorance you omit any of these things, which the Lord hath spoken to Moses,
And when you err, and do not do all these commands which YHWH has spoken to Moses—
23 And by him hath commanded you, from the day that he began to command and thenceforward,
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 And the multitude have forgotten to do it: they shall offer a calf out of the herd, a holocaust for a most sweet savour to the Lord, and the sacrifice and libations thereof, as the ceremonies require, and a buck goat for sin:
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 And the priest shall pray for all the multitude of the children of Israel: and it shall be forgiven them, because they sinned ignorantly, offering notwithstanding a burnt offering to the Lord for themselves and for their sin and their ignorance:
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 it shall be forgiven all the people of the children of Israel: and the strangers that sojourn among them: because it is the fault of all the people through ignorance.
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 But if one soul shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer a she goat of a year old for his sin.
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 shall pray for him, because he sinned ignorantly before the Lord: and he shall obtain his pardon, and it shall be forgiven him.
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 same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance, whether they be natives or strangers.
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 soul that committeth any thing through pride, whether he be born in the land or a stranger (because he hath been rebellious against the Lord) shall be cut off from among 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 For he hath contemned the word the Lord, and made void his precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall bear his iniquity.
because he despised the word of YHWH and has broken His command, that person is certainly cut off; his iniquity [is] on him.”
32 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and had found a man gathering 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 That they brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole multitude.
and those finding him gathering wood bring him near to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation,
34 And they put him into prison, not knowing what they should do with him.
and they place him in confinement, for it [is] not explained what is [to be] done to him.
35 And the Lord said to Moses: Let that man die, let all the multitude stone him without the camp.
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 And when they had brought him out, they stoned him, and he died as the Lord had commanded.
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 The Lord also said to Moses:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
38 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt tell them I to make to themselves fringes in the corners of their garments, putting in them ribands of blue:
“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 That when they shall see them, they may remember all the commandments of the Lord, and not follow their own thoughts and eyes going astray after divers things,
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 But rather being mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and be holy to their 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 brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be 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.”
