Numbers 15

¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,

³and 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;

⁴then 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:

⁵and 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.

⁶Or 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:

⁷and for the drink-offering thou shalt offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

⁸And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace-offerings unto Jehovah;

⁹then 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:

¹⁰and thou shalt offer for the drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

¹¹Thus shall it be done for each bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids.

¹²According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.

¹³All that are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁵For 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.

¹⁶One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

¹⁷And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

¹⁸Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,

¹⁹then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave-offering unto Jehovah.

²⁰Of 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.

²¹Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto Jehovah a heave-offering throughout your generations.

²²And when ye shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses,

²³even all that Jehovah hath commanded you by Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;

²⁴then 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.

²⁵And 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:

²⁶and 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.

²⁷And if one person sin unwittingly, then he shall offer a she-goat a year old for a sin-offering.

²⁸And 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.

²⁹Ye 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.

³⁰But 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.

³¹Because 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.

³²And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath day.

³³And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

³⁴And they put him in ward, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

³⁵And Jehovah said unto Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

³⁶And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

³⁷And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

³⁸Speak 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:

³⁹and 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;

⁴⁰that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

⁴¹I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah your God.

Numbers 15

¹Then the LORD said to Moses,

²“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land that I am giving you as a home

³and 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—

⁴then 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.

⁵With the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb, you are to prepare a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering.

⁶With 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,

⁷and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

⁸When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the LORD,

⁹present with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil.

¹⁰Also present half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It is an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

¹¹This is to be done for each bull, ram, lamb, or goat.

¹²This is how you must prepare each one, no matter how many.

¹³Everyone 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.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁵The 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.

¹⁶The same law and the same ordinance will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing with you.”

¹⁷Then the LORD said to Moses,

¹⁸“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing you

¹⁹and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.

²⁰From 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.

²¹Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.

²²Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses—

²³all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come—

²⁴and 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.

²⁵The 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.

²⁶Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.

²⁷Also, if one person sins unintentionally, he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.

²⁸And 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.

²⁹You 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.

³⁰But the person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person shall be cut off from among his people.

³¹He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.”

³²While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.

³³Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation,

³⁴and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody.

³⁵And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.”

³⁶So the whole congregation took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

³⁷Later, the LORD said to Moses,

³⁸“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.

³⁹These 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.

⁴⁰Then you will remember and obey all My commandments, and you will be holy to your God.

⁴¹I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.”
