< Numbers 15 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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 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 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 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 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 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 to pour out in libations for the holocaust or for the victim. For every lamb,
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 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 thou dost prepare a present of flour, two-tenth deals, mixed with oil, a third of the hin;
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 wine for a libation, a third part of the hin, thou dost bring near — a sweet fragrance to Jehovah.
8 But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen, to fulfill thy vow or for victims of peace offerings,
'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 Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered with half a hin of oil,
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 wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering of most sweet savour 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 Thus shalt thou 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 every ox and ram and lamb and kid.
'According to the number that ye prepare, so ye do to each, according to their number;
13 Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers,
every native doth thus with these, at bringing near a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah;
14 Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite.
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 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 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 children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
18 When you are come into the land which I will give 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 shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall separate firstfruits 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 Of the things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of your barnfloors:
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 firstfruits of your dough 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 omit any of these things, which the Lord hath spoken to Moses,
'And when ye err, and do not all these commands which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses,
23 And by him hath commanded you, from the day that he began to command and thenceforward,
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 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 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 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 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 children of Israel: and the strangers that sojourn among them: because it is the fault of all the people through ignorance.
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 shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer a she goat of a year old 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 ignorantly before the Lord: and he shall obtain his pardon, and it shall 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 The same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance, whether they be natives or strangers.
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 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 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 hath contemned the word the Lord, and made void his precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and 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 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 unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company,
34 And they put him into 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 die, let all the multitude stone him without 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 brought him out, they stoned him, and he died as the Lord had commanded.
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 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 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 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 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 rather being mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and 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 brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might 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.'
