1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak
to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land of
your habitations, which I give to you, 3 and will make an offering by fire
to Jehovah, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a
freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Jehovah,
of the herd, or of the flock; 4 then he who offers his offering shall
offer to Jehovah a meal offering of one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed
with the fourth part of a hin of oil. 5 You shall prepare wine for the
drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, with the burnt offering, or for the
sacrifice, for each lamb.
6 “‘Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal
offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed 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 pleasant aroma to Jehovah. 8 When you prepare a bull
for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace
offerings to Jehovah; 9 then shall he offer with the bull a meal offering
of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed 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 pleasant aroma to Jehovah. 11 Thus shall it be done for each
bull, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats. 12 According
to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to
their number.
13 “‘All who are native-born shall do these
things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma
to Jehovah. 14 If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may
be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by
fire, of a pleasant aroma to Jehovah; as you do, so he shall do. 15 For
the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who lives
as a foreigner, a statute forever throughout your generations. As you are, so
shall the foreigner be before Jehovah. 16 One law and one ordinance shall
be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.’”
17 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 18 “Speak
to the children of Israel, and tell 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 wave offering to Jehovah. 20 Of the first of your
dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering. As the wave offering of
the threshing floor, so you shall heave it. 21 Of the first of your dough,
you shall give to Jehovah a wave offering throughout your generations.
22 “‘When you err, and don’t observe all these
commandments, which Jehovah has spoken to Moses, 23 even all that Jehovah
has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and
onward throughout your generations; 24 then it shall be, if it was done
unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the
congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant
aroma to Jehovah, with its meal offering, and its drink offering, according to
the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering. 25 The priest shall
make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they
shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering,
an offering made by fire to Jehovah, and their sin offering before Jehovah, for
their error. 26 All the congregation of the children of Israel shall be
forgiven, as well as the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for with
regard to all the people, it was done unwittingly.
27 “‘If one person sins unwittingly, then he
shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering. 28 The priest
shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly before Jehovah,
to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. 29 You shall have one
law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the
children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.
30 “‘But the soul who does anything with a high
hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, the same blasphemes Jehovah.
That soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31 Because he has
despised Jehovah’s word, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall
utterly be cut off. His iniquity shall be on him.’”
32 While the children of Israel were in the
wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 Those
who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the
congregation. 34 They put him in custody, because it had not been declared
what should be done to him.
35 Jehovah said to Moses, “The man shall surely
be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of
the camp.” 36 All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and
stoned him to death with stones, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
37 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 38 “Speak
to the children of Israel, and tell them that they should 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 on it, and remember all Jehovah’s commandments,
and do them; and that you not follow after your own heart and your own eyes,
after which you use to play the prostitute; 40 that you may remember and
do all my commandments, and be holy to your God. 41 I am Jehovah your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah your
God.”
