Numbers 15
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
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 Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land that I am giving you as a home
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 savour to the Lord, whether of the herd or 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 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.
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 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 savour to the Lord.
With the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb, you are to prepare a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering.
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.
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 shall offer for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord wine for a drink-offering, the third part of a hin.
and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a pleasing aroma 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,
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 [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.
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 for a drink-offering the half of a hin, a sacrifice for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
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 shall you do to one calf or to one ram, or to one lamb of the sheep or kid of the goats.
This is to be done for each bull, ram, lamb, or goat.
12 According to the number of what you shall offer, so shall you do to each one, according to their number.
This is how you must prepare each one, no matter how many.
13 Every native of the country shall do thus to offer such things as sacrifices for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
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 if there should be a stranger amongst you in your land, or one who should be born to you amongst your generations, and he will offer a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord—as you do, so the [whole] congregation shall offer to the Lord.
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 There shall be one law for you and for the strangers dwelling amongst you, a perpetual law for your generations: as you [are], so shall the stranger be before the Lord.
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 There shall be one law and one ordinance for you, and for the stranger that abides amongst you.
The same law and the same ordinance will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing with you.”
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
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,
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing 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 you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering 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,
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 even the first fruits of your dough, and you shall give the Lord a heave-offering throughout your generations.
Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.
22 But whenever you shall transgress, and not perform all these commands, which the Lord spoke to Moses;
Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has 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,
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 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 savour 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 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 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.
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 shall be forgiven as respects all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that is dwelling amongst you, because [it is] involuntary to all the people.
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 soul sin unwillingly, he shall bring one she-goat of a year old 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 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 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 There shall be one law for the native amongst the children of Israel, and for the stranger that abides amongst them, whoever shall commit a trespass unwillingly.
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 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 person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person 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.
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 children of Israel were in the wilderness, and they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath-day.
While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood 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.
Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation,
34 And they placed him in custody, for they did not determine what they should do to him.
and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody.
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, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside 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.
So the whole congregation took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
37 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Later, the LORD 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 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 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;
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 that you may remember and perform all my commands, and you shall be holy to your God.
Then you will remember and obey all My commandments, and you will be holy to your 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 to be your God. I am the LORD your God.”
