Numbers 15

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “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,

“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land that I am giving you as a home

3 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.

and you present an offering made by fire to the LORD from the herd or flock to produce a pleasing aroma to the LORD—either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, for a special vow or freewill offering or appointed feast—

4 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;

then the one presenting his offering to the LORD shall also present a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.

5 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;

With the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb, you are to prepare a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering.

6 or for a ram you prepare a present of two-tenth parts of flour mixed with a third of the hin of oil;

With a ram you are to prepare a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,

7 and you bring a third part of the hin of wine near for a drink-offering—a refreshing fragrance to YHWH.

and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

8 And when you make a son of the herd a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice for separating a vow, or peace-offerings to YHWH,

When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the LORD,

9 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;

present with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil.

10 and you bring a half of the hin of wine near for a drink-offering, [for] a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH;

Also present half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It is an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

11 thus it is done for one ox, or for one ram, or for a lamb of the sheep or of the goats.

This is to be done for each bull, ram, lamb, or goat.

12 According to the number that you prepare, so you do to each, according to their number;

This is how you must prepare each one, no matter how many.

13 every native does thus with these, for bringing a fire-offering near of refreshing fragrance to YHWH;

Everyone who is native-born shall prepare these things in this way when he presents an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

14 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.

And for the generations to come, if a foreigner residing with you or someone else among you wants to prepare an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, he is to do exactly as you do.

15 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;

The assembly is to have the same statute both for you and for the foreign resident; it is a permanent statute for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the LORD.

16 one law and one ordinance is for you and for the sojourner who is sojourning with you.”

The same law and the same ordinance will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing with you.”

17 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

Then the LORD said to Moses,

18 “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,

“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing you

19 then it has been, in your eating of the bread of the land, you raise up a raised-offering to YHWH;

and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.

20 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.

From the first of your dough, you are to lift up a cake as a contribution; offer it just like an offering from the threshing floor.

21 You give to YHWH from the first of your dough [as] a raised-offering throughout your generations.

Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.

22 And when you err, and do not do all these commands which YHWH has spoken to Moses—

Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses—

23 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—

all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come—

24 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.

and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, then the whole congregation is to prepare one young bull as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

25 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;

The priest is to make atonement for the whole congregation of Israel, so that they may be forgiven; for the sin was unintentional and they have brought to the LORD an offering made by fire and a sin offering, presented before the LORD for their unintentional sin.

26 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.

Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.

27 And if one person sins through ignorance, then he has brought a female goat near, daughter of a year, for a sin-offering;

Also, if one person sins unintentionally, he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.

28 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;

And the priest shall make atonement before the LORD on behalf of the person who erred by sinning unintentionally; and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven.

29 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.

You shall have the same law for the one who acts in error, whether he is a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.

30 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;

But the person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person shall be cut off from among his people.

31 because he despised the word of YHWH and has broken His command, that person is certainly cut off; his iniquity [is] on him.”

He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.”

32 And the sons of Israel are in the wilderness, and they find a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day,

While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.

33 and those finding him gathering wood bring him near to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation,

Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation,

34 and they place him in confinement, for it [is] not explained what is [to be] done to him.

and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody.

35 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.”

And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.”

36 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.

So the whole congregation took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

37 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

Later, the LORD said to Moses,

38 “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,

“Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout the generations to come they are to make for themselves tassels for the corners of their garments, with a blue cord on each tassel.

39 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,

These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the commandments of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by following your own heart and your own eyes.

40 so that you remember and have done all My commands, and you have been holy to your God.

Then you will remember and obey all My commandments, and you will be holy to your God.

41 I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out from the land of Egypt to become your God; I [am] your God YHWH.”

I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.”
