Numbers 15
1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land of your habitation, which I will give you,
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
3 and you make an offering to the Lord, as a holocaust or as a victim, paying your vows, or as a voluntary offering of gifts, or in your solemnities, burning a sweet odor to the Lord, whether from the oxen or from the sheep:
And will make an offering by fire unto YHWH, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto YHWH, of the herd, or of the flock:
4 whoever immolates the victim shall offer a sacrifice of fine wheat flour, the tenth part of an ephah, sprinkled with oil, which shall have the measure of the fourth part of a hin,
Then shall he that offereth his offering unto YHWH bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil.
5 and he shall give the same measure of wine, poured out as libations, whether as a holocaust or as a victim.
And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
6 With each lamb and each ram, there shall be a sacrifice of fine wheat flour, of two tenths, which shall be sprinkled with one third part of a hin of oil.
Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
7 And he shall offer the same measure, one third part of wine, for the libation, as a sweet odor to the Lord.
And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto YHWH.
8 Yet truly, when you will offer, from the oxen, a holocaust or a victim, in order to fulfill your vow or for peace-offering victims,
And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto YHWH:
9 you shall give, for each ox, three tenths of fine wheat flour, sprinkled with oil, which has the measure of one half of one hin,
Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
10 and the wine, poured out as libations, shall be of the same measure, as an oblation of most sweet odor to the Lord.
And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YHWH.
11 So shall you do
Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.
12 for each ox, and ram, and lamb, and young goat.
According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
13 Both natives and sojourners
All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YHWH.
14 shall offer sacrifices by the same rituals.
And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YHWH; as ye do, so he shall do.
15 There shall be one precept and one judgment, as much for yourselves as for newcomers to the land.”
One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before YHWH.
16 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
17 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them:
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
18 When you will arrive in the land which I will give to you,
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,
19 and when you will eat from the bread of that region, you shall separate the first-fruits to the Lord
Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto YHWH.
20 from the foods that you eat. Just as you separate the first-fruits of your threshing floors,
Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.
21 so also shall you give the first-fruits of your cooked grains to the Lord.
Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto YHWH an heave offering in your generations.
22 And if, through ignorance, you neglect any of these things, which the Lord has spoken to Moses,
And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which YHWH hath spoken unto Moses,
23 and which he has commanded through him for you, from the day that he began to command and thereafter,
Even all that YHWH hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that YHWH commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;
24 and if the multitude will have forgotten to do it, then they shall offer a calf from the herd, a holocaust as a most sweet odor to the Lord, and its sacrifice and libations, just as the ceremonies ask, and a he-goat for sin.
Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto YHWH, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
25 And the priest shall pray for the entire multitude of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, because they did not sin willfully. Nevertheless, they shall offer incense to the Lord for themselves, and for sin, as well as for their error.
And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto YHWH, and their sin offering before YHWH, for their ignorance:
26 And it shall be forgiven all the people of the sons of Israel, as well as the newcomers who sojourn among them, for it is the culpability of all the people through neglect.
And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.
27 But if one soul will have sinned by not knowing, he shall offer a one-year-old she-goat for his sin.
And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
28 And the priest shall pray for him, because he sinned unknowingly before the Lord. And he shall obtain pardon for him, and it will be forgiven him.
And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before YHWH, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
29 One law shall be for all who sin by ignorance, as much for natives as for newcomers.
Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
30 Yet truly, the soul who commits any of these acts through arrogance, whether he is a citizen or a sojourner, because he has rebelled against the Lord, shall perish from among his people.
But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth YHWH; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31 For he has despised the word of the Lord, and he has nullified his precept. For this reason, he shall be destroyed, and he shall bear his iniquity.”
Because he hath despised the word of YHWH, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
32 And it happened that, when the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, and they had found a man collecting wood on the day of the Sabbath,
And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the Sabbath day.
33 they brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to the whole multitude.
And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
34 And they enclosed him in a prison, not knowing what they should do with him.
And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.
35 And the Lord said to Moses, “Let that man be put to death; let the entire crowd crush him with stones, outside the camp.”
And YHWH said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
36 And when they had led him out, they overwhelmed him with stones, and he died, just as the Lord had instructed.
And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as YHWH commanded Moses.
37 The Lord also said to Moses:
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
38 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall tell them to make for themselves hems at the corners of their cloaks, placing in them ribbons of hyacinth,
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 the borders a ribband of blue:
39 so that, when they see these, they may remember all the commandments of the Lord, and they may not follow their own thoughts and eyes, fornicating in various ways,
And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of YHWH, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
40 but instead, they, being more mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and may be holy to their God.
That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your Elohim.
41 I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I may be your God.”
I am YHWH your Elohim, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your Elohim: I am YHWH your Elohim.
