Numbers 15:20-41 ▼

20 From the first of your? ground meal you? shall offer up a cake as a contribution; as a contribution of the threshing floor, so shall you? offer it up.

21 Of the first of your? ground meal you? shall give to YHWH a contribution throughout your? generations.

22 And if you? err and do not observe all these commandments that YHWH has spoken to Moses,

23 all that YHWH has commanded to you? by the hand of Moses, from the day that YHWH commanded and onward throughout your? generations—

24 then it will be, if away from the eyes of the congregation it is committed in error, that all the congregation shall offer one bull, a son of the herd, as a burnt offering, for a pleasing aroma to YHWH, and with its grain offering and its drink offering according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.

25 And the priest shall make atonement upon the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven for them, for it was an error. And they shall bring their offerings, a fire offering to YHWH, and their sin offering, before the face of YHWH for their error.

26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, because all the people did it in error.

27 And if one person sins in error, he shall bring a female goat, a daughter of a year, as a sin offering.

28 And the priest shall make atonement upon the soul, the one who is erring when he sins in error before the face of YHWH, to make atonement upon him, and it shall be forgiven for him.

29 The native among the sons of Israel and for the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, there shall be one law for you?, for the one who sins in error.

30 And the soul who does beguile by hand, from the native and from the sojourner, he reviles YHWH; that person shall be cut off from among his people.

31 Because he has despised the word of YHWH and has broken His commandment, that person shall surely be cut off; his guilt is upon him.”

32 And while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.

33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation.

34 And they put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.

35 And YHWH said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp.”

36 And all the congregation brought him to the outside of the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died, as YHWH had commanded Moses.

37 And YHWH again spoke to Moses, saying,

38 “Speak to the sons of Israel and tell them to make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put in the tassels of the corners a blue thread.

39 And you? shall have the tassel, that you? may look upon it and remember all the commandments of YHWH and do them, and that you? do not follow after your? own heart and your? own eyes, after them to which you? are inclined to prostitute yourselves.

40 Then you? will remember and do all My commandments, and you? shall be holy unto your? God.

41 I am YHWH your? God, who brought you? out of the land of Egypt to be your? God; I am YHWH your? God.”
