Chapter 15
1Then AO said to Moses,
2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land that I am giving you as a home
3and you present an offering made by fire to AO either a burnt offering or a sacrifice for a special vow or freewill offering or appointed feast—to produce a pleasing aroma to AO—from the herd or flock,
4then the one presenting his offering to AO shall also present a grain offering of fine flour of a tenth of an ephah mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.
5With the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb, you are to prepare a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering.
6With a ram you are to prepare a grain offering of fine flour of two-tenths [of an ephah] mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil
7[and] a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a pleasing aroma to AO.
8When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to AO,
9present with the bull a grain offering of fine flour of three-tenths [of an ephah] mixed with half a hin of olive oil.
10Also present half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It is an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to AO.
11This is to be done for each bull, ram, lamb or goat.
12This is how you must prepare each one no matter how many.
13Everyone who is native-born shall prepare these things in this way when he presents an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to AO.
14And for the generations to come, if a foreigner residing with you or someone else among you wants to prepare an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to AO, he is to do exactly as you do.
15The assembly is to have the statute both for you and for the foreign resident; it is a permanent statute for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the shall before AO.
16The same law and the same ordinance will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing with you.”
17Then AO said to Moses,
18“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing you
19and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to AO.
20From the first of your dough you are to lift up a cake as a contribution, offer it just like an offering from the threshing floor.
21Throughout your generations you are to give AO an offering from the first of your dough.
22Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that AO has spoken to Moses—
23all that AO has commanded you through Moses from the day AO gave them and continuing through the generations to come—
24and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, then the whole congregation is to prepare one young bull as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma to AO with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation and one male goat as a sin offering.
25The priest is to make atonement for the whole congregation of Israel so that they may be forgiven for [the sin] was unintentional and they have brought an offering made by fire to AO and a sin offering [presented] before AO for their unintentional sin.
26Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven since it happened to all the people unintentionally.
27Also, if one person sins unintentionally, he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.
28And the priest shall make atonement before AO on behalf of the person who erred by sinning unintentionally and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven.
29You shall have the same law for the one who acts in error, whether he is a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.
30But the person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes AO. That person shall be cut off from among his people
31because he has despised the word of AO and broken His commandment. He shall certainly be cut off; his guilt [remains] on him.”
32While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
33Those who found [the man] gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron and the whole congregation
34and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody.
35And AO said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.”
36So the whole congregation took [the man] outside the camp and stoned him to death as AO had commanded Moses.
37Later, AO said to Moses,
3838 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them that they are to make for themselves tassels for the corners of their garments throughout the generations to come with a blue cord on each tassel.
39These will serve as tassels for you to look at so that you may remember all the commandments of AO that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by following your own heart and your own eyes.
40Then you will remember and obey all My commandments and you will be holy to your God.
41I am AO your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am AO your God!”
