Numbers 15
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 '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,
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land that I am giving you as a home
3 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.
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 near his offering to Jehovah hath brought near a present of flour, a tenth deal, 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 wine for a libation, a fourth of the hin thou dost prepare for the burnt-offering or for a sacrifice, for the 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 thou dost prepare a present of flour, two-tenth deals, mixed with oil, a third of the hin;
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 wine for a libation, a third part of the hin, thou dost bring near — a sweet fragrance to Jehovah.
and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
8 'And when thou makest a son of the herd a burnt-offering or a sacrifice, at separating a vow or peace-offerings to Jehovah,
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 hath brought near for the son of the herd a present of flour, three-tenth deals, mixed with oil, a half of the hin;
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 wine thou bringest near for a libation, a half of the hin — a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah;
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 the one ox, or for the 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 ye prepare, so ye do to each, according to their number;
This is how you must prepare each one, no matter how many.
13 every native doth thus with these, at bringing near a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah;
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 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.
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 statute age-during to your generations: as ye [are] so is the sojourner before Jehovah;
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 to you and to 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 Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
18 '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,
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing you
19 then it hath been, in your eating of the bread of the land, ye heave up a heave-offering to Jehovah;
and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.
20 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.
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 Of the beginning of your dough ye do give to Jehovah a heave-offering — to your generations.
Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.
22 'And when ye err, and do not all these commands which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses,
Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses—
23 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,
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 sin in ignorance, then he hath brought near a she-goat, 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 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;
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 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.
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 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;
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 the word of Jehovah he despised, and His command hath broken — 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 unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company,
Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation,
34 and they place him in ward, 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'The man is certainly put to death, all the company 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 company bring him out unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones, and he dieth, as Jehovah hath 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 Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Later, the LORD said to Moses,
38 '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,
“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 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;
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 ye remember and have done all My commands, and ye 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] Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt to become your God; I, Jehovah, [am] your God.'
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.”
