| 15:1 |
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 15:2 |
Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you are come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you, |
| 15:3 |
and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock; |
| 15:4 |
then shall he who offers his offering offer to Yahweh a meal offering of a tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil: |
| 15:5 |
and wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, shall you prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb. |
| 15:6 |
Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil: |
| 15:7 |
and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. |
| 15:8 |
When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh; |
| 15:9 |
then shall he offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil: |
| 15:10 |
and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. |
| 15:11 |
Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats. |
| 15:12 |
According to the number that you shall prepare, so shall you do to everyone according to their number. |
| 15:13 |
All who are native-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh. |
| 15:14 |
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 sweet savor to Yahweh; as you do, so he shall do. |
| 15:15 |
For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner [with you], a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the foreigner be before Yahweh. |
| 15:16 |
One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you. |
| 15:17 |
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 15:18 |
Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you come into the land where I bring you, |
| 15:19 |
then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh. |
| 15:20 |
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 shall you heave it. |
| 15:21 |
Of the first of your dough you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations. |
| 15:22 |
When you shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Yahweh has spoken to Moses, |
| 15:23 |
even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations; |
| 15:24 |
then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a sweet savor to Yahweh, with the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering. |
| 15:25 |
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 Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error: |
| 15:26 |
and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly. |
| 15:27 |
If one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering. |
| 15:28 |
The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly, before Yahweh, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. |
| 15:29 |
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. |
| 15:30 |
But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, the same blasphemes Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. |
| 15:31 |
Because he has despised the word of Yahweh, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be on him. |
| 15:32 |
While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. |
| 15:33 |
Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. |
| 15:34 |
They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him. |
| 15:35 |
Yahweh said to Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp. |
| 15:36 |
All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Yahweh commanded Moses. |
| 15:37 |
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 15:38 |
Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they should make them fringes { or, tassels (Hebrew tzitzit) } in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe { or, tassel } of each border a cord of blue: |
| 15:39 |
and it shall be to you for a fringe { or, tassel }, that you may look on it, and remember all the commandments of Yahweh, and do them; and that you not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to play the prostitute; |
| 15:40 |
that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God. |
| 15:41 |
I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God. |
