Numbers 15

1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: When you come into the land of your dwellings, which I am giving you,

3And you offer a fire offering to Yahweh—a burnt offering, or a sacrifice to perform a special vow, or a freewill offering, or in your appointed feasts—to produce a soothing aroma for Yahweh, from the herd or from the flock.

4Whoever brings his offering to Yahweh shall bring a grain offering of a tenth of fine flour mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil.

5And a fourth part of a hin of wine for the drink offering you shall prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for one lamb.

6Or for a ram, you shall prepare a grain offering of two tenths of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil.

7and a third of a hin of wine for the drink offering you shall present, a soothing aroma to Yahweh.

8And when you offer a bull for a burnt offering or for a sacrifice to perform a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh;

9He shall offer with the bull a grain offering of three tenths of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil.

10You shall bring half a hin of wine as a drink offering, a fire offering of pleasing aroma to Yahweh.

11Thus shall it be done for one ox or one ram, or for a lamb from the sheep or from the goats.

12According to whatever number you prepare, do so for each one according to their number.

13Every native-born shall do these things in this way, offering a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh.

14And when a sojourner resides with you, or anyone among you through your generations who offers a fire offering, a soothing aroma to Yahweh, as you do, so he shall do.

15One statute governs the congregation and the sojourning stranger—a perpetual statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before Yahweh.

16One law and one regulation shall be for you and for the sojourner dwelling with you.

17Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

18Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, "When you come into the land that I am bringing you to."

19When you eat from the bread of the land, you shall offer up a heave offering to Yahweh.

20You shall heave a loaf from the first of your dough as a heave offering, as the heave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it.

21From the first of your dough you shall give Yahweh a contribution for your generations.

22If you go astray and fail to carry out all these commandments that Yahweh spoke to Moses,

23All that Yahweh commanded you through Moses, from the day Yahweh commanded and onward for your generations.

24If the congregation sins unwittingly, without their knowledge, then the whole congregation shall offer one young bull from the herd for a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh, with its grain offering and drink offering as required by regulation, and one male goat for a sin offering.

25The priest shall make atonement for the whole congregation of Israel's children, and they shall be forgiven, for it was an error, and they brought their offering, a fire offering to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error.

26The entire congregation of Israel's children will be forgiven, and the foreigner living in their midst, because the whole people did so unwittingly.

27If one person sins unwittingly, she shall bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering.

28The priest shall make atonement for the soul when he sins unwittingly in ignorance before Yahweh, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.

29There shall be one law for you for anyone who sins unintentionally, for the native-born among the children of Israel and for the sojourner dwelling among them.

30But the person who acts with a high hand—whether native-born or a foreigner—that one blasphemes Yahweh, and that person shall be cut off from among his people.

31Because he has despised the word of Yahweh and broken his commandment, that soul shall certainly be cut off; its iniquity shall be upon it.

32While the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.

33Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the assembly.

34They placed him under guard because it had not been made clear what should be done to him.

35Yahweh said to Moses, "The man must surely die; the whole congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp."

36The whole congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

37And Yahweh said to Moses, saying,

38Speak to the children of Israel and tell them to make fringes for themselves on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue cord on the fringe of each corner.

39It shall be a fringe for you, that you look at it and remember all the commandments of Yahweh and do them, and that you not go after your heart and your eyes, after which you go whoring.

40so that you remember and do all my commandments and be holy to your God.

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