18 Cum veneritis in terram, quam dabo vobis,
“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], and tell them, ‘When you come into the land where I bring you,
19 et comederitis de panibus regionis illius, separabitis primitias Domino

20 de cibis vestris. Sicut de areis primitias separabitis,
Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering. As the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it.
21 ita et de pulmentis dabitis primitiva Domino.

22 Quod si per ignorantiam praeterieritis quidquam horum, quae locutus est Dominus ad Moysen,

23 et mandavit per eum ad vos, a die qua coepit iubere et ultra,
even all that Adonai has enjoined you by Moses [Drawn out], from the day that Adonai gave commandment, and onward throughout all your generations;
24 oblitaque fuerit facere multitudo: offeret vitulum de armento, holocaustum in odorem suavissimum Domino, et sacrificum eius ac liba, ut ceremoniae postulant, hircumque pro peccato:
then it shall be, if it was done as an unintentional mistake sin ·error·, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Adonai, with its meal offering, and its drink offering, according to the judgement, and one male goat for a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering.
25 et rogabit sacerdos pro omni multitudine filiorum Israel: et dimittetur eis, quoniam non sponte peccaverunt, nihilominus offerentes incensum Domino pro se et pro peccato atque errore suo:
The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails], and they shall be forgiven; for it was an unintentional mistake sin ·error·, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Adonai, and their habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering before Adonai, for their unintentional mistake sin ·error·.
26 et dimittetur universae plebi filiorum Israel, et advenis, qui peregrinantur inter eos: quoniam culpa est omnis populi per ignorantiam.
All the congregation of the children of Israel [God prevails] shall be forgiven, as well as the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for with regard to all the people, it was an unintentional mistake sin ·error·.
27 Quod si anima una nesciens peccaverit, offeret capram anniculam pro peccato suo:
“‘If one person sins ·errs (the standard goal)· that is an unintentional mistake sin ·error·, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering.

You shall have one Torah ·Teaching· for him who does any unintentional mistake sin ·error·, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel [God prevails], and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.
30 Anima vero, quae per superbiam aliquid commiserit, sive civis sit ille, sive peregrinus, (quoniam adversus Dominum rebellis fuit) peribit de populo suo:
“‘But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, the same blasphemes Adonai. That soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31 verbum enim Domini contempsit, et praeceptum illius fecit irritum: idcirco delebitur, et portabit iniquitatem suam.
Because he has despised Adonai’s word, and has broken his order, that soul shall utterly be cut off. His depravity (moral evil) shall be on him.’”
32 Factum est autem, cum essent filii Israel in solitudine, et invenissent hominem colligentem ligna in die Sabbati,
While the children of Israel [God prevails] were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Shabath ·Intermission· day.
33 obtulerunt eum Moysi et Aaron et universae multitudini.
Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses [Drawn out] and Aaron [Light-bringer], and to all the congregation.
34 Qui recluserunt eum in carcerem, nescientes quid super eo facere deberent.
They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
35 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Morte moriatur homo iste, obruat eum lapidibus omnis turba extra castra.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “The man shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp.”
36 Cumque eduxissent eum foras, obruerunt eum lapidibus, et mortuus est, sicut praeceperat Dominus.
All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out].
37 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
38 Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos ut faciant sibi fimbrias per angulos palliorum, ponentes in eis vittas hyacinthinas:
“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], and tell them that they should make themselves fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord of blue:
39 quas cum viderint, recordentur omnium mandatorum Domini, nec sequantur cogitationes suas et oculos per res varias fornicantes,
and it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may look on it, and remember all Adonai’s mitzvot ·instructions·, and do them; and that you not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to play the prostitute;
40 sed magis memores praeceptorum Domini faciant ea, sintque sancti Deo suo.
that you may remember and do all my mitzvot ·instructions·, and be holy to your God.
41 Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de Terra Aegypti, ut essem Deus vester.
I am Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], to be your God: I am Adonai your God.”
