1 The LORD said to Moses, The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, The LORD said to Moses,
2 |Speak to the Israelites and tell them: Once you're settled in the land I'm giving you, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving you, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘After you enter the land I am giving you as a home
3 you may bring offerings by fire to the LORD. They may be burnt offerings or any other kind of sacrifice. They may be offered to fulfill a vow, as a freewill offering, or as one of your festival offerings. They may be cattle, sheep, or goats-offerings that are a soothing aroma to the LORD. and you offer to the LORD from the herd or from the flock a food offering or a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or at your appointed feasts, to make a pleasing aroma to the LORD, and you present to the LORD food offerings from the herd or the flock, as an aroma pleasing to the LORD—whether burnt offerings or sacrifices, for special vows or freewill offerings or festival offerings—
4 Whoever brings the offering must also give the LORD a grain offering of eight cups of flour mixed with one quart of olive oil. then he who brings his offering shall offer to the LORD a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil; then the person who brings an offering shall present to the LORD a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of olive oil.
5 With each sheep or goat for the burnt offering or any other sacrifice, also give an offering of one quart of wine. and you shall offer with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, a quarter of a hin of wine for the drink offering for each lamb. With each lamb for the burnt offering or the sacrifice, prepare a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering.
6 |With a ram, give a grain offering of 16 cups of flour mixed with 11/4 quarts of oil Or for a ram, you shall offer for a grain offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil. “’With a ram prepare a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,
7 and an offering of 11/4 quarts of wine. Offer them as a soothing aroma to the LORD. And for the drink offering you shall offer a third of a hin of wine, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering. Offer it as an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
8 |Suppose you sacrifice a young bull as a burnt offering to the LORD or make any other kind of sacrifice-to keep a vow or as a fellowship offering. And when you offer a bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or for peace offerings to the LORD, “’When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice, for a special vow or a fellowship offering to the LORD,
9 Offer with the young bull a grain offering of 24 cups of flour mixed with two quarts of olive oil. then one shall offer with the bull a grain offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with half a hin of oil. bring with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil,
10 Also give an offering of two quarts of wine. It is an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the LORD. And you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. and also bring half a hin of wine as a drink offering. This will be a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
11 Do this for each bull, each ram, and each sheep or goat. “Thus it shall be done for each bull or ram, or for each lamb or young goat. Each bull or ram, each lamb or young goat, is to be prepared in this manner.
12 Do it for each animal, however many you sacrifice. As many as you offer, so shall you do with each one, as many as there are. Do this for each one, for as many as you prepare.
13 All native-born Israelites must do it this way when they bring an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the LORD. Every native Israelite shall do these things in this way, in offering a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the LORD. “’Everyone who is native-born must do these things in this way when they present a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
14 |Suppose foreigners are visiting you or living among you in future generations. If they bring an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the LORD, they must do as you do. And if a stranger is sojourning with you, or anyone is living permanently among you, and he wishes to offer a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the LORD, he shall do as you do. For the generations to come, whenever a foreigner or anyone else living among you presents a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, they must do exactly as you do.
15 There is one law for the whole assembly: for you and foreigners who are living with you. It is a permanent law for future generations. As far as the LORD is concerned, you and foreigners are the same. For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you, a statute forever throughout your generations. You and the sojourner shall be alike before the LORD. The community is to have the same rules for you and for the foreigner residing among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the LORD:
16 The instructions and rules are the same for you as well as foreigners who are living with you.| One law and one rule shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.” The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing among you.’”
17 The LORD said to Moses, The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, The LORD said to Moses,
18 |Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land where I'm taking you “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land to which I bring you “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land to which I am taking you
19 and eat any of the food from the land, give some of it as a contribution to the LORD. and when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall present a contribution to the LORD. and you eat the food of the land, present a portion as an offering to the LORD.
20 Shape one part of your dough into a ring the same way you do with the contribution you make from the threshing floor. Of the first of your dough you shall present a loaf as a contribution; like a contribution from the threshing floor, so shall you present it. Present a loaf from the first of your ground meal and present it as an offering from the threshing floor.
21 For generations to come, you must give one part of your dough as a contribution to the LORD. Some of the first of your dough you shall give to the LORD as a contribution throughout your generations. Throughout the generations to come you are to give this offering to the LORD from the first of your ground meal.
22 |Suppose you unintentionally do something wrong by not obeying all these commands the LORD gave Moses. “But if you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses, “’Now if you as a community unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the LORD gave Moses—
23 (Everything the LORD commanded you through Moses holds as true for generations to come as it did the day the LORD gave the commands.) all that the LORD has commanded you by Moses, from the day that the LORD gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations, any of the LORD’s commands to you through him, from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come—
24 If it was unintentional and no one else knows about it, the whole community must sacrifice a young bull as a burnt offering, a soothing aroma to the LORD, along with the proper grain and wine offerings, and a male goat as an offering for sin. then if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, all the congregation shall offer one bull from the herd for a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the rule, and one male goat for a sin offering. and if this is done unintentionally without the community being aware of it, then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, along with its prescribed grain offering and drink offering, and a male goat for a sin offering.
25 The priest will make peace with the LORD for the whole community of Israel. Then they will be forgiven because the wrongdoing was unintentional and they brought these two offerings to the LORD for their sin: an offering by fire and an offering for sin. And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the people of Israel, and they shall be forgiven, because it was a mistake, and they have brought their offering, a food offering to the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD for their mistake. The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven, for it was not intentional and they have presented to the LORD for their wrong a food offering and a sin offering.
26 So the whole community of Israel will be forgiven, including foreigners who are living among them, since all the people were involved in the unintentional wrongdoing. And all the congregation of the people of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who sojourns among them, because the whole population was involved in the mistake. The whole Israelite community and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong.
27 |If one person unintentionally does something wrong, a one-year-old female goat must be sacrificed as an offering for sin. “If one person sins unintentionally, he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering. “’But if just one person sins unintentionally, that person must bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering.
28 The priest will offer the sacrifice to make peace with the LORD for that person, and that person will be forgiven. And the priest shall make atonement before the LORD for the person who makes a mistake, when he sins unintentionally, to make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven. The priest is to make atonement before the LORD for the one who erred by sinning unintentionally, and when atonement has been made, that person will be forgiven.
29 You must give the same instructions to everyone who does something wrong unintentionally, whether they are native-born Israelites or not. You shall have one law for him who does anything unintentionally, for him who is native among the people of Israel and for the stranger who sojourns among them. One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.
30 |But any native-born Israelite or foreigner who deliberately does something wrong insults the LORD and must be excluded from the people. But the person who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native or a sojourner, reviles the LORD, and that person shall be cut off from among his people. “’But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD and must be cut off from the people of Israel.
31 That person has despised the word of the LORD and broken the LORD's command. He must be excluded completely. He remains guilty.| Because he has despised the word of the LORD and has broken his commandment, that person shall be utterly cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.” Because they have despised the LORD’s word and broken his commands, they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.’”
32 While the Israelites were in the desert, they found a man gathering wood on the day of worship. While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole community. And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly,
34 They kept him in custody until they decided what to do with him. They put him in custody, because it had not been made clear what should be done to him. and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him.
35 Then the LORD said to Moses, |This man must be put to death. The whole community must take him outside the camp and stone him.| And the LORD said to Moses, “The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” Then the LORD said to Moses, “The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.”
36 So the whole community took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses. And all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, as the LORD commanded Moses. So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses.
37 The LORD said to Moses, The LORD said to Moses, The LORD said to Moses,
38 |Speak to the Israelites and tell them: For generations to come they must wear tassels on the corners of their clothes with violet threads in each tassel. “Speak to the people of Israel, and tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a cord of blue on the tassel of each corner. “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel.
39 Whenever you look at the threads in the tassel, you will remember all the LORD's commands and obey them. Then you won't do whatever you want and go after whatever you see, as if you were chasing after prostitutes. And it shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the LORD, to do them, not to follow after your own heart and your own eyes, which you are inclined to whore after. You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes.
40 You will remember to obey all my commands, and you will be holy to your God. So you shall remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God. Then you will remember to obey all my commands and will be consecrated to your God.
41 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.| I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am the LORD your God.” I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.’”
