Numbers 15

1 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you will say to them: When you come into the land of your dwellings, which I am giving to you, 3 then you will prepare a fire-offering to YHWH, a burnt-offering or a sacrifice, for separating a vow or free-will offering, or in your appointed things, to make a refreshing fragrance to YHWH, out of the herd or out of the flock. 4 And he who is bringing his offering near to YHWH will bring a present near of a tenth part of flour mixed with a fourth of the hin of oil. 5 And you will prepare a fourth of the hin of wine for a drink-offering, with the burnt-offering or for the sacrifice, for one lamb. 6 Or for a ram you will prepare a present of two-tenth parts of flour mixed with a third of the hin of oil. 7 And you will bring a third part of the hin of wine near for a drink-offering—a refreshing fragrance to YHWH. 8 And when you make a son of the herd a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice for separating a vow, or peace-offerings to YHWH, 9 then he will bring near for the son of the herd a present of three-tenth parts of flour mixed with a half of the hin of oil. 10 And you will bring a half of the hin of wine near for a drink-offering, for a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH. 11 Thus it will be done for one ox, or for one ram, or for a lamb of the sheep or of the goats. 12 According to the number that you prepare, so you will do to each, according to their number. 13 every native will do thus with these, for bringing a fire-offering near of refreshing fragrance to YHWH. 14 And when a sojourner sojourns with you, or whoever is in your middle throughout your generations, and he will make a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH, as you do so he does. 15 One statute is for you of the congregation and for the sojourner who is sojourning, a continuous statute throughout your generations: as you are so will be the sojourner before YHWH. 16 One law and one ordinance is for you and for the sojourner who will be sojourning with you.” 17 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 18 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you will say to them: In your coming into the land to where I am bringing you in, 19 then it will be, in your eating of the bread of the land, you will raise up a raised-offering to YHWH. 20 You will raise up a cake of the first of your dough as a raised-offering. As the raised-offering of a threshing-floor, so you will raise it up. 21 You will give to YHWH from the first of your dough as a raised-offering throughout your generations. 22 And when you err, and do not do all these commands which YHWH has spoken to Moses— 23 the whole that YHWH has charged on you by the hand of Moses, from the day that YHWH had commanded and from now on, throughout your generations— 24 then it will be, if from the eyes of the congregation it has been done through ignorance, that all the congregation will prepare one bullock, a son of the herd, for a burnt-offering, for refreshing fragrance to YHWH, and its present, and its drink-offering, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering. 25 And the priest will make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and it will be forgiven them, for it was ignorance, and they will bring in their offering, a fire-offering to YHWH, and their sin-offering before YHWH for their ignorance. 26 And it will be forgiven to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their middle, for that all the people did it through ignorance. 27 And if one person sins through ignorance, then he will bring a female goat near, daughter of a year, for a sin-offering. 28 And the priest will make atonement for the person who was erring, in his sinning through ignorance before YHWH, by making atonement for him, and it will be forgiven him. 29 One law will be for yourselves—for the native among the sons of Israel and for the sojourner who is sojourning in their middle—for him who has done anything through ignorance. 30 And the person who does evil with a high hand—of the native or of the sojourner—he will be reviling YHWH, and that person will be cut off from the middle of his people. 31 Because he has despised the word of YHWH and has broken His command, that person will be certainly cut off. His iniquity will be on him.” 32 And the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, and they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day, 33 and those finding him gathering wood brought him near to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation, 34 and they placed him in confinement, for it was not explained what is to be done to him. 35 And YHWH said to Moses, “The man will be certainly put to death by all the congregation stoning him with stones at the outside of the camp.” 36 And all the congregation brought him out to the outside of the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died, as YHWH had commanded Moses. 37 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 38 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you will command to them, and they will make fringes on the skirts of their garments for themselves, throughout their generations, and they will put a ribbon of blue on the fringe of the skirt, 39 and it will be to you for a fringe, and you will see it, and remember all the commands of YHWH, and will do them, and you will not search after your heart and after your eyes, after which you will be going whoring, 40 so that you remember and have done all My commands, and you have been holy to your God. 41 I am your God YHWH, who has brought you out from the land of Egypt to become your God. I am your God YHWH.”
