Numbers 15
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Say to the children of Israel, When you have come into the land which I am giving to you for your resting-place,
"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,
3 And are going to make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burned offering or an offering in connection with an oath, or an offering freely given, or at your regular feasts, an offering for a sweet smell to the Lord, from the herd or the flock:
and will make an offering by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock;
4 Then let him who is making his offering, give to the Lord a meal offering of a tenth part of a measure of the best meal mixed with a fourth part of a hin of oil:
then he who offers his offering shall offer to the LORD a meal offering of a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil:
5 And for the drink offering, you are to give with the burned offering or other offering, the fourth part of a hin of wine for every lamb.
and wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, you shall prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
6 Or for a male sheep, give as a meal offering two tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with a third part of a hin of oil:
"'Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil:
7 And for the drink offering give a third part of a hin of wine, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
8 And when you make ready a young ox for a burned or other offering, or for the effecting of an oath, or for peace-offerings to the Lord:
When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to the LORD;
9 Then with the ox give a meal offering of three tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with half a hin of oil.
then shall he offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil:
10 And for the drink offering: give half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.
and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
11 This is to be done for every young ox and for every male sheep or he-lamb or young goat.
Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats.
12 Whatever number you make ready, so you are to do for every one.
According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number.
13 All those who are Israelites by birth are to do these things in this way, when giving an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord.
"'All who are native-born shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.
14 And if a man from another country or any other person living among you, through all your generations, has the desire to give an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord, let him do as you do.
If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD; as you do, so he shall do.
15 There is to be one law for you and for the man of another country living with you, one law for ever from generation to generation; as you are, so is he to be before the Lord.
For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger who lives among you, a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the foreigner be before the LORD.
16 The law and the rule are to be the same for you and for those from other lands living with you.
One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.'"
17 And the Lord said to Moses,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
18 Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land where I am guiding you,
"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land where I bring you,
19 Then, when you take for your food the produce of the land, you are to give an offering lifted up before the Lord.
then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to the LORD.
20 Of the first of your rough meal you are to give a cake for a lifted offering, lifting it up before the Lord as the offering of the grain-floor is lifted up.
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 From generation to generation you are to give to the Lord a lifted offering from the first of your rough meal.
Of the first of your dough you shall give to the LORD a wave offering throughout your generations.
22 And if in error you go against any of these laws which the Lord has given to Moses,
"'When you shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which the LORD has spoken to Moses,
23 All the laws which the Lord has given you by the hand of Moses, from the day when the Lord gave them, and ever after from generation to generation;
even all that the LORD has commanded you by Moses, from the day that the LORD gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;
24 Then, if the wrong is done in error, without the knowledge of the meeting of the people, let all the meeting give a young ox as a burned offering, a sweet smell to the Lord, with its meal offering and its drink offering, as is ordered in the law, together with a he-goat for a sin-offering.
then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to the LORD, with the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.
25 So the priest will make the people free from sin, and they will have forgiveness; for it was an error, and they have given their offering made by fire to the Lord, and their sin-offering before the Lord, on account of their error:
The cohen shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their error:
26 And all the meeting of the children of Israel, as well as those from other lands living among them, will have forgiveness; for it was an error on the part of the people.
and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.
27 And if one person does wrong, without being conscious of it, then let him give a she-goat of the first year for a sin-offering.
"'If one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering.
28 And the priest will take away the sin of the person who has done wrong, if the wrong was done unconsciously, and he will have forgiveness.
The cohen shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly, before the LORD, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.
29 The law in connection with wrong done unconsciously is to be the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from another country who is living among them.
You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.
30 But the person who does wrong in the pride of his heart, if he is one of you or of another nation by birth, is acting without respect for the Lord, and will be cut off from his people.
"'But the person who acts defiantly, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, the same blasphemes God, and that person is to be cut off from among his people.
31 Because he had no respect for the word of the Lord, and did not keep his law, that man will be cut off without mercy and his sin will be on him.
Because he has despised the word of the LORD, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.'"
32 Now while the children of Israel were in the waste land, they saw a man who was getting sticks on the Sabbath day.
While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.
33 And those who saw him getting sticks took him before Moses and Aaron and all the people.
Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
34 And they had him shut up, because they had no directions about what was to be done with him.
They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
35 Then the Lord said to Moses, Certainly the man is to be put to death: let him be stoned by all the people outside the tent-circle.
The LORD said to Moses, "The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp."
36 So all the people took him outside the tent-circle and he was stoned to death there, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as the LORD commanded Moses.
37 And the Lord said to Moses,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
38 Say to the children of Israel that through all their generations they are to put on the edges of their robes an ornament of twisted threads, and in every ornament a blue cord;
"Speak to the children of Israel, 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 So that, looking on these ornaments, you may keep in mind the orders of the Lord and do them; and not be guided by the desires of your hearts and eyes, through which you have been untrue to me:
and it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may look on it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, 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 And that you may keep in mind all my orders and do them and be holy to your God.
that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.
41 I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, so that I might be your God: I am the Lord 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."
