Numbers Chapter 15

1Then the Lord spoke to Moses and said, 2“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you come to the land of your dwelling places which I am giving you, 3you will perform a fire-offering to the Lord, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, by committing yourself to a vow, or in a freewill-offering, or in your festivals by making a sweet fragrance to the Lord from the oxen or from the sheep. 4And the offerer will offer his oblation to the Lord, a meal-offering of a tenth measure of fine flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil. 5And you will put wine on the burnt offering or the sacrifice as a libation – a quarter of a hin per lamb. 6Or for a ram you will make a meal-offering of two tenth measures of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil, 7and wine for the libation – a third of a hin. You will offer a sweet fragrance to the Lord. 8And when you perform the burnt offering of a bull-calf, or a sacrifice, by committing yourself to a vow, or perform peace-offerings to the Lord, 9he will offer with the bull-calf a meal-offering of three tenth measures of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil. 10And you will offer wine as a libation – half a hin, as a fire-offering as a sweet fragrance to the Lord. 11That is how it will be performed for one ox or for one ram or for a small cattle animal from the lambs or goats. 12For whatever number you carry out, that is how you will perform the offering for each one – according to their number. 13Every native citizen will perform these things this way by offering a fire-offering as a sweet fragrance to the Lord. 14And if a foreigner is dwelling with you, or whoever is in your midst, throughout your generations, he will perform a fire-offering as a sweet fragrance to the Lord. As you do, so shall he do. 15Convocation, there will be one statute for you and for the foreigner who is temporarily resident. It is an age-abiding statute for your generations. As it is for you, so for the foreigner shall it be before the Lord. 16It will be one law and one regulation, for you and for the foreigner dwelling with you.’ ” 17Then the Lord spoke to Moses and said, 18“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you come to the land to which I am bringing you, 19it will come to pass that when you partake of the bread of the land, you will offer a heave-offering to the Lord. 20You will offer a heave-offering of cake of the first of your groats. As a heave-offering of produce on the threshing floor, so you will offer it. 21You will give the Lord a heave-offering of the first of your groats throughout your generations. 22And if you go astray and do not carry out all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to Moses, 23everything that the Lord commanded you through the intermediacy of Moses from the day when the Lord gave commandment and since then for your generations, 24then it will come to pass, if it was done hidden from the eyes of the congregation in a sin through ignorance, then the whole congregation will carry out a burnt offering of one bull-calf of the oxen as a sweet fragrance to the Lord, with its meal-offering and its libation according to the regulation, and one kid of the goats as a sin-offering. 25And the priest will make atonement for the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, and it will be forgiven them, for it was a sin through ignorance, and they will bring their oblation – a fire-offering to the Lord, and their sin-offering – before the Lord for their sin through ignorance. 26And it will be forgiven the whole congregation of the sons of Israel and the foreigner who is temporarily resident in their midst, because all the people were in a sin of ignorance. 27And if one person sins by a sin of ignorance, then he will offer a one-year-old she-goat as a sin-offering. 28And the priest will atone for the person who has sinned through ignorance, in a sin, in a sin of ignorance before the Lord, by atoning for him, and it will be forgiven him. 29There will be one law for you, both for the native of the sons of Israel and for the foreigner who is temporarily resident in their midst – for him who commits a sin of ignorance. 30But as for any person who acts presumptuously, whether from the native citizens or the foreigners, reviling the Lord, that person will be cut off from the midst of his people. 31For he has despised the word of the Lord, and he has broken his commandment. That person will certainly be cut off – his iniquity is on him.’ ” 32Now when the sons of Israel were in the desert, they found a man collecting wood on the Sabbath day. 33And those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and to the whole congregation, 34and they put him in custody, for it had not been declared what should be done to him. 35And the Lord said to Moses, “The man will certainly be put to death. The whole congregation will stone him outside the camp.” 36So the whole congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him, and he died, according to what the Lord had commanded Moses. 37Then the Lord spoke to Moses and said, 38“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them that they are to make fringes on the edges of their clothes throughout their generations, and they are to put a cord of blue material on the fringes, on the edge. 39And it will be a fringe to you, and when you see it, you will remember all the Lord's commandments, and you will carry them out, and you will not go about after your own heart and after your own eyes, in which case you would be committing whoredom going off after them, 40so that you remember to carry out all my commandments, and you will be holy to your God. 41I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be God to you. I am the Lord your God.”
