Numbers 15

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,3 and will make an offering by fire unto Jehovah, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill-offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor unto Jehovah, of the herd, or of the flock;4 then shall he that offereth his oblation offer unto Jehovah a meal-offering of a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil:5 and wine for the drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meal-offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil:7 and for the drink-offering thou shalt offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace-offerings unto Jehovah;9 then shall he offer with the bullock a meal-offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil:10 and thou shalt offer for the drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

11 Thus shall it be done for each bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids.12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.13 All that are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah; as ye do, so he shall do.15 For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you, a statute for ever throughout your generations: as ye are, so shall the sojourner be before Jehovah.16 One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

17 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,19 then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave-offering unto Jehovah.20 Of the first of your dough ye shall offer up a cake for a heave-offering: as the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye heave it.21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto Jehovah a heave-offering throughout your generations.

22 And when ye shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses,23 even all that Jehovah hath commanded you by Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;24 then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor unto Jehovah, with the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof, according to the ordinance, and one he-goat for a sin-offering.25 And 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 oblation, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah, and their sin-offering before Jehovah, for their error:26 and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.

27 And if one person sin unwittingly, then he shall offer a she-goat a year old for a sin-offering.28 And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth unwittingly, before Jehovah, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.29 Ye shall have one law for him that doeth aught unwittingly, for him that is home-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.30 But the soul that doeth aught with a high hand, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, the same blasphemeth Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.31 Because he hath despised the word of Jehovah, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath day.33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.34 And they put him in ward, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.35 And Jehovah said unto Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

37 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of each border a cord of blue:39 and it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that ye follow not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to play the harlot;40 that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.41 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah your God.

Numbers 15

Sacrificial Rulings

1 s The Lord spoke to Moses:2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them, ‘When you enter the land where you are to live,t which I am giving you,t3 and you make an offering by fire to the Lord from the herd or from the flock (whether a burnt offering or a sacrifice for discharging a vow or as a freewill offering or in your solemn feasts) to create a pleasing aroma to the Lord,4 then the one who presents his offering to the Lord must bringt a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of finely ground flour mixed with one fourth of a hin of olive oil.s5 You must also prepare one-fourth of a hin of wine for a drink offerings with the burnt offering or the sacrifice for each lamb.t6 Or for a ram, you must prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of finely ground flour mixed with one-third of a hin of olive oil,7 and for a drink offering you must offer one-third of a hin of wine as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.8 And when you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice for discharging a vow or as a peace offering to the Lord,9 then a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of finely ground flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil must be presentedt with the young bull,10 and you must present as the drink offering half a hin of wine with the fire offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.11 This is what is to be donet for each ox, or each ram, or each of the male lambs or the goats.

12 You must do so for each one according to the number that you prepare.
13 “‘Every native-born person must do these things in this way to present an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.14 If a resident foreigner is livingt with you – or whoever is among yout in future generationst – and prepares an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, he must do it the same way you are to do it.t15 One statute must applyt to you who belong to the congregation and to the resident foreigner who is living among you, as a permanentt statute for your future generations. You and the resident foreigner will be aliket before the Lord.

16 One law and one custom must apply to you and to the resident foreigner who lives alongside you.’”

Rules for First Fruits

17 The Lord spoke to Moses:18 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them, ‘When you enter the land to which I am bringing yout19 and you eatt some of the food of the land, you must offer up a raised offeringt to the Lord.20 You must offer up a cake of the first of your finely ground flourt as a raised offering; as you offer the raised offering of the threshing floor, so you must offer it up.

21 You must give to the Lord some of the first of your finely ground flour as a raised offering in your future generations.

Rules for Unintentional Offenses

22 s “‘If yout sin unintentionally and do not observe all these commandments that the Lord has spoken to Moses –23 all that the Lord has commanded you by the authorityt of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded Moses and continuing through your future generations –24 then if anything is done unintentionallyt without the knowledge oft the community, the whole community must prepare one young bull for a burnt offering – for a pleasing aroma to the Lord – along with its grain offering and its customary drink offering, and one male goat for a purification offering.25 And the priest is to make atonementt for the whole community of the Israelites, and they will be forgiven,t because it was unintentional and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord, and their purification offering before the Lord, for their unintentional offense.

26 And the whole communityt of the Israelites and the resident foreigner who lives among them will be forgiven, since all the people were involved in the unintentional offense.
27 “‘If any persont sins unintentionally, then he must bring a yearling female goat for a purification offering.28 And the priest must make atonement for the person who sins unintentionally – when he sins unintentionally before the Lord – to make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

29 You must have one law for the person who sins unintentionally, both for the native-born among the Israelites and for the resident foreigner who lives among them.

Deliberate Sin

30 “‘But the persont who acts defiantly,t whether native-born or a resident foreigner, insultst the Lord.t That persont must be cut offt from among his people.

31 Because he has despisedt the word of the Lord and has brokent his commandment, that persont must be completely cut off.t His iniquity will be on him.’”s
32 When the Israelites weret in the wilderness they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day.s33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and to the whole community.34 They put him in custody, because there was no clear instruction about what should be done to him.35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; the whole community must stonet him with stones outside the camp.”

36 So the whole community took him outside the camp and stoned him to death,t just as the Lord commanded Moses.

Rules for Tassels

37 The Lord spoke to Moses:38 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them to maket tasselss for themselves on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and put a blue threads on the tassel of the corners.39 You must have this tassel so that you may look at it and remember all the commandments of the Lord and obey them and so that you do not followt after your own heart and your own eyes that lead you to unfaithfulness.t40 Thust you will remember and obey all my commandments and be holy to your God.

41 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.”
