Numbers 15
1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,3 and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill-offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock;4 then he that offers his oblation shall offer to Yahweh a meal-offering of a tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil:5 and wine for the drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, you shall prepare with the burnt-offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.6 Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal-offering two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil:7 and for the drink-offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.8 And when you prepare a bull for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace-offerings to Yahweh;9 then it shall be offered with the bull a meal-offering of three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil:10 and you shall offer for the drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.11 Thus it shall be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the young goats.12 According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to every one according to their number.13 All that are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.14 And if a stranger sojourns with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh; as you do, so he shall do.15 For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger that sojourns [with you], a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the sojourner be before Yahweh.16 One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourns with you.17 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,18 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land where I bring you,19 then it shall be, that, when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a heave-offering to Yahweh.20 Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a heave-offering: as the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so you shall heave it.21 Of the first of your dough you shall give to Yahweh a heave-offering throughout your generations.
22 And when you shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Yahweh has spoken to Moses,23 even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;24 then it shall be, if it is done unwittingly, unknowingly of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor to Yahweh, with the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof, according to the ordinance, and one he-goat for a sin-offering.25 And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their oblation, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin-offering before Yahweh, for their error:26 and all the congregation of the sons of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger that sojourns among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.27 And if one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a she-goat a year old for a sin-offering.28 And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that errs, when he sins unwittingly, before Yahweh, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.29 You shall have one law for him that does anything unwittingly, for him that is home-born among the sons of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourns among them.
30 But the soul that does anything with a high hand, whether he is home-born or a sojourner, the same blasphemes Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.31 Because he has despised the word of Yahweh, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall completely be cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.32 And while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.33 And those that found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.34 And they put him in ward, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.35 And Yahweh said to Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.36 And all the congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
37 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,38 Speak to the sons of Israel, and bid them that they make themselves fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord of blue:39 and it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may look at it, and remember all the commandments of Yahweh, and do them; and that you don't follow after your own heart and your own eyes, which you prostitute after;40 that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.41 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God.
