Numbers 15

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying: ² "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When you come to the land of your dwellings which I am giving to you ³ and you make a fire offering to Yahweh, an ascent offering or a sacrifice for an extraordinary vow or in a voluntary offering or in your appointments to make a fragrant odor to Yahweh from the herd or from the flock, ⁴ then the one approaching will bring near as his offering to Yahweh an approach present, a tenth of an ephah of flour mingled with a fourth of a hin of oil; ⁵ as for wine for a libation you shall offer on the ascent offering or for a sacrifice a fourth of a hin with the one lamb. ⁶ Or for the ram you shall offer an approach present, two tenths of an ephah of flour mingled with a third of a hin of oil; ⁷ as for wine for a libation you shall bring near a third of a hin, a fragrant odor to Yahweh. ⁸ In case you offer a bull calf of the herd as an ascent offering or a sacrifice for an extraordinary vow or peace offerings to Yahweh, ⁹ then one will bring near with the bull calf of the herd an approach present, three tenths of an ephah of flour mingled with half a hin of oil; ¹⁰ as for wine you shall bring near for a libation, half a hin, as a fire offering of fragrant odor to Yahweh. ¹¹ Thus shall it be done for each bull or for each ram or for a flockling among the lambs or among the goats. ¹² According to the number which you offer thus shall you do for each in their number. ¹³ Every native shall do these things thus to bring near a fire offering of fragrant odor to Yahweh. ¹⁴ In case a sojourner is sojourning with you or whoever is in your midst throughout your generations, and he offers a fire offering of fragrant odor to Yahweh, just as you are doing so shall he do. ¹⁵ As for the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the sojourner sojourning with you. It shall be an eonian statute throughout your generations. Like you so shall the sojourner be before Yahweh. ¹⁶ One law and one custom shall come to be for you and for the sojourner sojourning with you." ¹⁷ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying: ¹⁸ "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: When you come into the land where I am bringing you, ¹⁹ then will it come to be when you eat of the bread of the land you shall raise up a heave offering to Yahweh. ²⁰ Of the first batch of your coarse meal a perforated cake shall you raise up as a heave offering; as the heave offering of the threshing site, so shall you raise it up. ²¹ Of the first of your coarse meal shall you give to Yahweh a heave offering throughout your generations. ²² In case you err and do not observe all these instructions which Yahweh has pronounced to Moses, ²³ all that Yahweh has instructed you by means of Moses from the day on which Yahweh instructed and beyond throughout your generations, ²⁴ then it will come to be, if away from the eyes of the congregation anything is done through inadvertence, that the whole congregation will offer one young bull, a calf of the herd, as an ascent offering for a fragrant odor to Yahweh, with its approach present and its libation as is the custom and one hairy one of the goats as a sin offering. ²⁵ The priest will make a propitiatory shelter over the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, and it will be pardoned them, for it was an inadvertence. They will bring their approach present, a fire offering to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh over their inadvertence. ²⁶ Then it will be pardoned to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner sojourning in their midst, for all the people had acted through inadvertence. ²⁷ If one soul sins through inadvertence then he will bring near a year-old she-goat for a sin offering. ²⁸ Over the erring soul when he sins through inadvertence the priest will make a propitiatory shelter before Yahweh, to make a propitiatory shelter over him, and it will be pardoned him. ²⁹ For the native among the sons of Israel and for the sojourner sojourning in their midst, one law shall apply for you, to anyone doing it through inadvertence. ³⁰ Yet the soul who is doing anything with a high hand, from the native and from the sojourner, he is taunting Yahweh; that soul will be cut off from among his people, ³¹ since the word of Yahweh he despised and His instruction he annulled. That soul shall be cut off, yea cut off; his depravity is on him." ³² While the sons of Israel were in the wilderness they found a man gathering together sticks on the sabbath day. ³³ Those finding him gathering the sticks together brought him near to Moses and to Aaron and to the whole congregation. ³⁴ They left him under guard, for it had not been expounded what should be done to him. ³⁵ Yahweh said to Moses: "The man shall be put to death, yea death. The whole congregation shall pelt him with stones outside the camp." ³⁶ So the whole congregation brought him forth to outside the camp and pelted him with stones, so that he died just as Yahweh had instructed Moses. ³⁷ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying: ³⁸ "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them that they make for themselves tassels on the hems of their garments throughout their generations and put blue twine on the tassels of the hem. ³⁹ You will come to have a tassel so that you will see it, remember all the instructions of Yahweh and observe them and not explore after your heart and after your eyes after which you are prostituting; ⁴⁰ so that you may remember and observe all My instructions and become holy to your Elohim. ⁴¹ I, Yahweh, am your Elohim Who brought you forth from the land of Egypt to be your Elohim. I, Yahweh, am your Elohim."
