< Numbers 15 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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 children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,
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 will make an offering by fire to the LORD—a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a free will offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock—
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 he who offers his offering shall offer to the LORD a meal offering of one tenth of an efah of fine flour mixed with one fourth of a hin of 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.
You shall prepare wine for the drink offering, one fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
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.
“‘For a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenths of an efah of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of 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 for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant 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 bull for a burnt offering or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings 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.
then he shall offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenths of an efah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil;
10 And wine for a drink-offering the half of a hin, a sacrifice for a smell of sweet savour 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 Thus shall you do to one calf or to one ram, or to one lamb of the sheep or kid of the goats.
Thus it shall be done for each bull, for each ram, for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats.
12 According to the number of what you shall offer, so shall you do to each one, according to their number.
According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number.
13 Every native of the country shall do thus to offer such things as sacrifices for a smell of sweet savour 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 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.
If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be amongst 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 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.
For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner, a statute forever throughout your generations. As you are, so the foreigner shall be before the LORD.
16 There shall be one law and one ordinance for you, and for the stranger that abides amongst 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 spoke to Moses, saying,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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 children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land where I bring 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.
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 You shall offer your bread a heave-offering: as a heave-offering from the threshing floor, so shall you separate it,
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 even the first fruits of your dough, and you shall give the Lord a heave-offering throughout your generations.
Of the first of your dough, you shall give to the LORD a wave offering throughout your generations.
22 But whenever you shall transgress, and not perform all these commands, which the Lord spoke to Moses;
“‘When you err, and don’t observe all these commandments which 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,
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 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.
then it shall be, if it was 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 its meal offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for 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 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 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.
All the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, as well as the stranger who lives as a foreigner amongst them; for with regard to all the people, it was done unwittingly.
27 And if one soul sin unwillingly, he shall bring one she-goat of a year old for a sin-offering.
“‘If a person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for 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.
The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs when he sins unwittingly before the LORD. He shall make atonement for him; and he shall 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 one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born amongst the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner amongst them.
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 soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That soul shall be cut off from amongst 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.
Because he has despised the LORD’s word, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall be utterly cut off. His iniquity shall be 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 children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks 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 him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
34 And they placed him in custody, for they did not determine what they should do to him.
They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
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.
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 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.
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 spoke to Moses, saying,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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 children of Israel, and tell them that they should make themselves fringes on the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord of blue.
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;
It shall be to you for a fringe, that you may see it, and remember all the LORD’s commandments, and do them; and that you don’t follow your own heart and your own eyes, after which you used to play the prostitute;
40 that you may remember and perform all my commands, and you shall be holy to your God.
so that you may remember and do all my commandments, and 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.”
