< Numbers 15 >
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 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,
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,
3 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 savor to the Lord, whether of the herd or the flock:
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:
4 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.
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:
5 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 savor to the Lord.
And he shall give the same measure of wine to pour out in libations for the holocaust or for the victim. For every lamb,
6 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.
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:
7 And you shall offer for a smell of sweet savor to the Lord wine for a drink-offering, the third part of a hin.
And he shall offer the third part of the same measure of wine for the libation, for a sweet savour to the Lord.
8 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,
But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen, to fulfill thy vow or for victims of peace offerings,
9 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.
Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered with half a hin of oil,
10 And wine for a drink-offering the half of a hin, a sacrifice for a smell of sweet savor to the Lord.
And wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering of most sweet savour to the Lord.
11 Thus shall you do to one calf or to one ram, or to one lamb of the sheep or kid of the goats.
Thus shalt thou do:
12 According to the number of what you shall offer, so shall you do to each one, according to their number.
For every ox and ram and lamb and kid.
13 Every native of the country shall do thus to offer such things as sacrifices for a smell of sweet savor to the Lord.
Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers,
14 And if there should be a stranger among you in your land, or one who should be born to you among your generations, and he will offer a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savor to the Lord—as you do, so the [whole] congregation shall offer to the Lord.
Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite.
15 There shall be one law for you and for the strangers dwelling among you, a perpetual law for your generations: as you [are], so shall the stranger be before the Lord.
There shall be all one law and judgment both for you and for them who are strangers in the land.
16 There shall be one law and one ordinance for you, and for the stranger that abides among you.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them:
18 Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, When you are entering into the land, into which I bring you,
When you are come into the land which I will give you,
19 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.
And shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall separate firstfruits to the Lord,
20 You shall offer your bread a heave-offering: as a heave-offering from the threshing floor, so shall you separate it,
Of the things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of your barnfloors:
21 even the first fruits of your dough, and you shall give the Lord a heave-offering throughout your generations.
So also shall you give firstfruits of your dough to the Lord.
22 But whenever you shall transgress, and not perform all these commands, which the Lord spoke to Moses;
And if through ignorance you omit any of these things, which the Lord hath spoken to Moses,
23 as the Lord appointed you by the hand of Moses, from the day which the Lord appointed you and forward throughout your generations,
And by him hath commanded you, from the day that he began to command and thenceforward,
24 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 savor 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.
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:
25 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.
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:
26 And it shall be forgiven as respects all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that is dwelling among you, because [it is] involuntary to all the people.
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.
27 And if one soul sin unwillingly, he shall bring one she-goat of a year old for a sin-offering.
But if one soul shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer a she goat of a year old for his sin.
28 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.
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.
29 There shall be one law for the native among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that abides among them, whoever shall commit a trespass unwillingly.
The same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance, whether they be natives or strangers.
30 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,
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:
31 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.
For he hath contemned the word the Lord, and made void his precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall bear his iniquity.
32 And the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath-day.
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,
33 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.
That they brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole multitude.
34 And they placed him in custody, for they did not determine what they should do to him.
And they put him into prison, not knowing what they should do with him.
35 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.
And the Lord said to Moses: Let that man die, let all the multitude stone him without the camp.
36 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.
And when they had brought him out, they stoned him, and he died as the Lord had commanded.
37 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
The Lord also said to Moses:
38 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.
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:
39 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;
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,
40 that you may remember and perform all my commands, and you shall be holy to your God.
But rather being mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and be holy to their God.
41 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.
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.
