Numbers 15
15
1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of your dwellings, which I give unto you, 3and will make an offering by fire to Jehovah, a burnt-offering or a sacrifice for the performance of a vow, or as a voluntary offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet odour to Jehovah, of the herd or of the flock, 4then shall he that presenteth his offering to Jehovah bring as oblation a tenth part of fine flour mingled with a fourth part of a hin of oil; 5and of wine for a drink-offering shalt thou offer the fourth part of a hin with the burnt-offering, or with the sacrifice, for one lamb. 6And for a ram thou shalt offer as oblation two tenth parts of fine flour mingled with oil, a third part of a hin, 7and of wine for a drink-offering shalt thou offer the third part of a hin; for a sweet odour to Jehovah. 8And when thou offerest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice for the performance of a vow, or for a peace-offering to Jehovah, 9then shall they present with the bullock as oblation three tenth parts of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil; 10and of wine shalt thou present half a hin, for a drink-offering, as an offering by fire, of a sweet odour to Jehovah. 11Thus shall it be done for one ox, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or for a kid; 12according to the number that ye offer, so shall ye do to every one according to their number. 13And all that are born in the land shall do these things thus, in presenting an offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah. 14And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whoever be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah, — as ye do, so shall he do. 15As to the congregation, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an everlasting statute throughout your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be, before Jehovah. 16One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you. 17And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 18Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you, 19then it shall be, when ye eat of the bread of the land, that ye shall offer a heave-offering to Jehovah; 20the first of your dough shall ye offer, a cake, for a heave-offering; as the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye offer this. 21Of the first of your dough ye shall give to Jehovah a heave-offering throughout your generations.
22And if ye sin inadvertently, and do not all these commandments, which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, 23all that Jehovah hath commanded you through Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and henceforward throughout your generations; 24then it shall be, if ought be committed by inadvertence hid from the eyes of the assembly, that the whole assembly shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet odour to Jehovah, and its oblation and its drink-offering according to the ordinance, and one buck of the goats for a sin-offering. 25And the priest shall make atonement for the whole assembly of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it was a sin of inadvertence, and they have brought before Jehovah their offering, as an offering by fire to Jehovah, and their sin-offering for their sin of inadvertence; 26and it shall be forgiven the whole assembly of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; for with all the people there was a sin of inadvertence. 27And if one soul sin through inadvertence, then he shall present a yearling she-goat for a sin-offering. 28And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that hath done inadvertently, when he sinneth by inadvertence before Jehovah, to make atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. 29For him that is born in the land among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them — there shall be one law for you, for him who doeth anything through inadvertence.
30But the soul that doeth ought with a high hand, whether born in the land, or a stranger, he reproacheth Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31For he hath despised the word of Jehovah, and hath broken his commandment: that soul shall surely be cut off; his iniquity is upon him. 32And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day. 33And they that found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to the whole assembly. 34And they put him in custody, for it was not declared what should be done to him. 35And Jehovah said to Moses, The man shall certainly be put to death: the whole assembly shall stone him with stones outside the camp. 36And the whole assembly led him outside the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
37And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 38Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them tassels on the corners of their garments, throughout their generations, and that they attach to the tassel of the corners a lace of blue; 39and it shall be unto you for a tassel, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that ye seek not after the lusts of your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye go a whoring; 40that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God#GodHebrew: Elohim 41I am Jehovah your God#GodHebrew: Elohim who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God#GodHebrew: Elohim I am Jehovah your God#GodHebrew: Elohim.

Numbers 15
15
1The Lord told Moses, 2“Tell the Israelites, ‘These are instructions about what you are to do once you arrive in the country I'm giving you to live in. 3When you bring an offering to the Lord from your herd or flock (whether it's a burnt offering, a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made, or a freewill or festival offering) that will be acceptable to the Lord, 4then you shall also present a grain offering of one tenth of an ephah of the best flour mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil. 5Add a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering to the burnt offering or the sacrifice of a lamb.
6When it comes to a ram, present a grain offering of two tenths of an ephah of the best flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil, 7along with a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, all of them to be acceptable to the Lord.
8When you bring a young bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made or as a peace offering to the Lord, 9then you shall also bring with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the best flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil. 10Add a half a hin of wine as a drink offering. All this is an offering to be acceptable to the Lord.
11This is to be done for every bull, ram, lamb, or goat brought as an offering.#15:11. “Brought as an offering”: supplied for clarity. 12This is what you need to do for each one, however many. 13Every Israelite is to follow these instructions when they present an offering that is accepted by the Lord. 14This also applies for all future generations that if a foreigner living among you or anyone else among you wishes to present an offering acceptable to the Lord: they are to do exactly what you do. 15The whole congregation must have the same rules for you and for the foreigner living among you. This is a permanent law for all future generations You and the foreigner are to be treated the same way before the law. 16The same rules and regulations apply to you and the foreigner living among you.’”
17Then the Lord told Moses, 18“Tell the Israelites, ‘When you get to the country where I'm leading you 19and you eat the food produced there, you shall give some of it as an offering to the Lord. 20You are to give some of the flour you make into loaves as a gift—present it just like an offering from the threshing floor. 21For all future generations, you are to give the Lord an offering from the first of your flour.
22Now if you collectively sin without meaning to and don't follow all these instructions that the Lord has given Moses— 23everything that the Lord has ordered you to do through Moses from the time that the Lord gave them and for all future generations— 24and if it was done unintentionally without everyone knowing about it, then the whole congregation is to present a young bull as a burnt offering to be accepted by the Lord, along with its grain offering and drink offering presented according to the rules, as well as a male goat as a sin offering. 25In this way the priest is to make the whole congregation of Israel right with the Lord so that they can be forgiven, because the sin was unintentional and they have presented the Lord with a burnt offering and a sin offering, offered before the Lord for their unintentional sin. 26Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners living among them will be forgiven, because the people sinned unintentionally.
27In the case of an individual who sins without meaning to—they are to present a one-year-old female goat as a sin offering. 28The priest will make the person who sinned unintentionally right before the Lord on their behalf. Once they have been made right, they will be forgiven. 29You shall apply the same law for the one who mistakenly sins to an Israelite or a foreigner living among you.
30But the person who sins in defiance, whether an Israelite or foreigner, is blaspheming#15:30. “Blaspheming”: in the sense of deliberately abusing the Lord. the Lord. They shall be expelled from their people. 31They have to be expelled, because they have treated the word of the Lord with contempt and broken his commandment. They are responsible for the consequences of their own guilt.’”
32During the time the Israelites were wandering in the desert, a man was caught collecting firewood on the Sabbath. 33The people who found him collecting wood brought him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the Israelites. 34They placed him under guard because it wasn't clear what should happen to him. 35The Lord told Moses, “This man has to be executed. All the Israelites are to stone him outside the camp.” 36So they all took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death as the Lord had ordered Moses.
37Sometime later the Lord told Moses, 38“Tell the Israelites that for all future generations you must make tassels for the hems of your clothes and attach them with blue cord. 39When you look at these tassels you will be reminded to keep all the commandments of the Lord and not be unfaithful, following your own thoughts and desires. 40In this way you'll remember to keep all my commandments and you will be holy to your God. I am the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt to be your God. 41I am the Lord your God!”
