Laws about Sacrifice
1The LORD gave Moses 2the following regulations for the people of Israel to observe in the land that he was going to give them. 3A bull, a ram, a sheep, or a goat may be presented to the LORD as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice in fulfilment of a vow or as a freewill offering or as an offering at your regular religious festivals; the smell of these food offerings is pleasing to the LORD. 4-5Whoever presents a sheep or a goat as a burnt offering to the LORD is to bring with each animal a kilogramme of flour mixed with one litre of olive oil as a grain offering, together with one litre of wine. 6When a ram is offered, two kilogrammes of flour mixed with 1.5 litres of olive oil are to be presented as a grain offering, 7together with 1.5 litres of wine. The smell of these sacrifices is pleasing to the LORD. 8When a bull is offered to the LORD as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice in fulfilment of a vow or as a fellowship offering, 9a grain offering of three kilogrammes of flour mixed with two litres of olive oil is to be presented, 10together with two litres of wine. The smell of this sacrifice is pleasing to the LORD.
11That is what shall be offered with each bull, ram, sheep, or goat. 12When more than one animal is offered, the accompanying offering is to be increased proportionately. 13All native Israelites are to do this when they present a food offering, a smell pleasing to the LORD. 14And if at any time foreigners living among you, whether on a temporary or a permanent basis, make a food offering, a smell that pleases the LORD, they are to observe the same regulations. 15For all time to come, the same#15.15 Some ancient translations the same; Hebrew the congregation the same. rules are binding on you and on the foreigners who live among you. You and they are alike in the LORD's sight; 16#Lev 24.22the same laws and regulations apply to you and to them.
17The LORD gave Moses 18the following regulations for the people of Israel to observe in the land that he was going to give them. 19When any food produced there is eaten, some of it is to be set aside as a special contribution to the LORD. 20When you bake bread, the first loaf of the first bread made from the new corn is to be presented as a special contribution to the LORD. This is to be presented in the same way as the special contribution you make from the corn you thresh. 21For all time to come, this special gift is to be given to the LORD from the bread you bake.
22But suppose someone unintentionally fails to keep some of these regulations which the LORD has given Moses. 23And suppose that in the future the community fails to do everything that the LORD commanded through Moses. 24If the mistake was made because of the ignorance of the community, they are to offer a bull as a burnt offering, a smell that pleases the LORD, with the proper grain offering and wine offering. In addition, they are to offer a male goat as a sin offering. 25The priest shall perform the ritual of purification for the community, and they will be forgiven, because the mistake was unintentional and they brought their sin offering as a food offering to the LORD. 26The whole community of Israel and the foreigners living among them will be forgiven, because everyone was involved in the mistake.
27 #
Lev 4.27–31
If an individual sins unintentionally, he is to offer a one-year-old female goat as a sin offering. 28At the altar the priest shall perform the ritual of purification to purify the person from his sin, and he will be forgiven. 29The same regulation applies to all who unintentionally commit a sin, whether they are native Israelites or resident foreigners.
30But any person who sins deliberately, whether he is a native or a foreigner, is guilty of treating the LORD with contempt, and he shall be put to death, 31because he has rejected what the LORD said and has deliberately broken one of his commands. He is responsible for his own death.
The Man who Broke the Sabbath
32Once, while the Israelites were still in the wilderness, a man was found gathering firewood on the Sabbath. 33He was taken to Moses, Aaron, and the whole community, 34and was put under guard, because it was not clear what should be done with him. 35Then the LORD said to Moses, “The man must be put to death; the whole community is to stone him to death outside the camp.” 36So the whole community took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded.
Rules about Tassels
37The LORD commanded Moses 38#Deut 22.12to say to the people of Israel: “Make tassels on the corners of your garments and put a blue cord on each tassel. You are to do this for all time to come. 39The tassels will serve as reminders, and each time you see them you will remember all my commands and obey them; then you will not turn away from me and follow your own wishes and desires. 40The tassels will remind you to keep all my commands, and you will belong completely to me. 41I am the LORD your God; I brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.”

Numbers 15
1¶ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When you have entered into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you
3and will make an offering on fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to offer a vow or of your free will or to make in your solemn feasts an acceptable savour unto the Lord, of the cows, or of the sheep,
4then he that offers his offering unto the Lord shall bring a present of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil;
5and of wine for a drink offering shalt thou offer the fourth part of a hin in addition to the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb.
6And for each ram, thou shalt prepare as a present two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil;
7and of wine for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of a hin, for an acceptable savour unto the Lord.
8And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering or for a sacrifice, to offer a vow or a sacrifice of peace unto the Lord,
9thou shalt offer with the bullock a present of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half of a hin of oil;
10and of wine for a drink offering thou shalt offer half of a hin, for an offering on fire, of an acceptable savour unto the Lord.
11Thus shall it be done for each bullock or for each ram or for each lamb, the same for sheep as for goats.
12According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to each one according to their number.
13All that are natural born shall do these things after this manner, to offer an offering on fire, of an acceptable savour unto the Lord.
14And when a stranger sojourns with you or whoever is among you, for your ages, if they will offer an offering on fire of an acceptable savour unto the Lord; as ye do, so he shall do.
15One statute shall be both for you of the congregation and also for the stranger that sojourns with you, a perpetual statute, for your ages; as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.
16One same law and the same right shall be for you and for the stranger that sojourns with you.
17The Lord also spoke unto Moses, saying,
18Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When ye have come into the land where I bring you,
19then it shall be that when ye begin to eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an offering unto the Lord.
20Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an offering; as the offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye offer it.
21Of the firstfruits of your dough ye shall give unto the Lord an offering in your generations.
22¶ And when ye err and do not observe all these commandments which the Lord has spoken unto Moses,
23 even all that the Lord has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded Moses and from then on, for your ages,
24then it shall be, if the sin was committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock as a burnt offering, for an acceptable savour unto the Lord with its present and its drink offering, according to the law, and one he goat as the sin.
25And the priest shall reconcile all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it is ignorance; and they shall bring their offering, an offering on fire unto the Lord and their sins before the Lord which they committed in their ignorance.
26And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the sons of Israel and the stranger that sojourns among them, seeing all the people were in ignorance.
27And if any person sins through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year as the sin.
28And the priest shall reconcile the soul that errs ignorantly, when he sins by ignorance before the Lord, he shall be reconciled; and it shall be forgiven him.
29Ye shall have the same law for the one that sins through ignorance, both for the natural born among the sons of Israel and for the stranger that sojourns among them.
30¶ But the person that does something consciously, whether they are natural born or a stranger, the same reproaches the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31Because he has despised the word of the Lord and has made void his commandment, that person shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
32And while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered firewood upon the sabbath day.
33And those that found him gathering firewood brought him unto Moses and Aaron and unto all the congregation.
34And they put him in ward because it was not declared what should be done to him.
35And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.
36Then all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died, as the Lord commanded Moses.
37¶ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
38Speak unto the sons of Israel and bid them that they make for themselves fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue.
39And it shall be unto you for a fringe that ye may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, seeking after which ye fornicate.
40That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
41I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I AM your God.
