Numbers 15
Jubilee Bible 2000
15 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When you have entered into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you
3 and will make an offering on fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to offer a vow or of your free will or to make in your solemn feasts an acceptable savour unto the LORD, of the cows, or of the sheep,
4 then he that offers his offering unto the LORD shall bring a present of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil;
5 and of wine for a drink offering shalt thou offer the fourth part of a hin in addition to the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb.
6 And for each ram, thou shalt prepare as a present two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil;
7 and of wine for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of a hin, for an acceptable savour unto the LORD.
8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering or for a sacrifice, to offer a vow or a sacrifice of peace unto the LORD,
9 thou shalt offer with the bullock a present of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half of a hin of oil;
10 and of wine for a drink offering thou shalt offer half of a hin, for an offering on fire, of an acceptable savour unto the LORD.
11 Thus shall it be done for each bullock or for each ram or for each lamb, the same for sheep as for goats.
12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to each one according to their number.
13 All that are natural born shall do these things after this manner, to offer an offering on fire, of an acceptable savour unto the LORD.
14 And when a stranger sojourns with you or whoever is among you, for your ages, if they will offer an offering on fire of an acceptable savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
15 One statute shall be both for you of the congregation and also for the stranger that sojourns with you, a perpetual statute, for your ages; as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
16 One same law and the same right shall be for you and for the stranger that sojourns with you.
17 The LORD also spoke unto Moses, saying,
18 Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When ye have come into the land where I bring you,
19 then it shall be that when ye begin to eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an offering unto the LORD.
20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an offering; as the offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye offer it.
21 Of the firstfruits of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an offering in your generations.
22 ¶ And when ye err and do not observe all these commandments which the LORD has spoken unto Moses,
23 even all that the LORD has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses and from then on, for your ages,
24 then it shall be, if the sin was committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock as a burnt offering, for an acceptable savour unto the LORD with its present and its drink offering, according to the law, and one he goat as the sin.
25 And the priest shall reconcile all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it is ignorance; and they shall bring their offering, an offering on fire unto the LORD and their sins before the LORD which they committed in their ignorance.
26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the sons of Israel and the stranger that sojourns among them, seeing all the people were in ignorance.
27 And if any person sins through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year as the sin.
28 And the priest shall reconcile the soul that errs ignorantly, when he sins by ignorance before the LORD, he shall be reconciled; and it shall be forgiven him.
29 Ye shall have the same law for the one that sins through ignorance, both for the natural born among the sons of Israel and for the stranger that sojourns among them.
30 ¶ But the person that does something consciously, whether they are natural born or a stranger, the same reproaches the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31 Because he has despised the word of the LORD and has made void his commandment, that person shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
32 And while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered firewood upon the sabbath day.
33 And those that found him gathering firewood brought him unto Moses and Aaron and unto all the congregation.
34 And they put him in ward because it was not declared what should be done to him.
35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.
36 Then all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died, as the LORD commanded Moses.
37 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
38 Speak unto the sons of Israel and bid them that they make for themselves fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue.
39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe that ye may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the LORD and do them and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, seeking after which ye fornicate.
40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
41 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I AM your God.
Numbers 15
English Standard Version
Laws About Sacrifices
15 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, (A)When you come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving you, 3 and (B)you offer to the Lord from the herd or from the flock a food offering[a] or a burnt offering or a sacrifice, (C)to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or (D)at your appointed feasts, to make a (E)pleasing aroma to the Lord, 4 then (F)he who brings his offering shall offer to the Lord (G)a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah[b] of fine flour, (H)mixed with a quarter of a hin[c] of oil; 5 and you shall offer with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, a quarter of a hin of (I)wine for the drink offering for each lamb. 6 (J)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. 7 And for the drink offering you shall offer a third of a hin of wine, a (K)pleasing aroma to the Lord. 8 And when you offer a bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice, to (L)fulfill a vow or for (M)peace offerings to the Lord, 9 then one shall offer (N)with the bull a grain 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, as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
11 (O)“Thus it shall be done for each bull or ram, or for each lamb or young goat. 12 As many as you offer, so shall you do with each one, as many as there are. 13 Every native Israelite shall do these things in this way, in offering a food offering, with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 14 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. 15 For the assembly, (P)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. 16 One law and one rule shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.”
17 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18 (Q)“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land to which I bring you 19 and when you eat of (R)the bread of the land, you shall present a contribution to the Lord. 20 (S)Of the first of your dough you shall present a loaf as a contribution; like a (T)contribution from the threshing floor, so shall you present it. 21 (U)Some of the first of your dough you shall give to the Lord as a contribution throughout your generations.
Laws About Unintentional Sins
22 (V)“But if you sin unintentionally,[d] and do not observe all these commandments that the Lord has spoken to Moses, 23 all that the Lord has commanded you by Moses, from the day that the Lord gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations, 24 then if it was done unintentionally (W)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, (X)with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the rule, and (Y)one male goat for a sin offering. 25 (Z)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. 26 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.
27 (AA)“If one person sins unintentionally, he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering. 28 (AB)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. 29 (AC)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. 30 (AD)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. 31 Because he has (AE)despised the word of the Lord and has broken his commandment, that person shall be utterly cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.”
A Sabbathbreaker Executed
32 While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man (AF)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 (AG)They put him in custody, because it had not been made clear what should be done to him. 35 And the Lord said to Moses, (AH)“The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall (AI)stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 And all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Tassels on Garments
37 The Lord said to Moses, 38 “Speak to the people of Israel, and tell them to (AJ)make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a cord of blue on the tassel of each corner. 39 And it shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the Lord, to do them, (AK)not to follow[e] after your own heart and your own eyes, which you are inclined (AL)to whore after. 40 So you shall remember and do all my commandments, and be (AM)holy to your God. 41 (AN)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.”

Leyes adicionales sobre las ofrendas
15 El Señor le ordenó a Moisés 2 que les dijera a los israelitas: «Después de que hayáis entrado en la tierra que os doy para que la habitéis, 3 tal vez alguno quiera ofrecerle al Señor una vaca o una oveja, ya sea como ofrenda presentada por fuego, o como holocausto, o como sacrificio para cumplir un voto, o como ofrenda voluntaria, o para celebrar una fiesta solemne. Para que esa ofrenda sea un aroma grato al Señor, 4 el que presente su ofrenda deberá añadirle, como ofrenda de cereal al Señor, dos kilos de flor de harina mezclada con un litro[a] de aceite. 5 A cada cordero que se le ofrezca al Señor como holocausto o sacrificio se le añadirá como libación un litro[b] de vino.
6 »Si se trata de un carnero, se preparará una ofrenda de cereal de cuatro kilos[c] de flor de harina, mezclada con un litro y medio[d] de aceite. 7 Como libación ofrecerás también un litro y medio de vino. Así será una ofrenda de aroma grato al Señor.
8 »Si ofreces un novillo como holocausto o sacrificio, a fin de cumplir un voto o hacer un sacrificio de comunión para el Señor, 9 junto con el novillo presentarás, como ofrenda de cereal, seis kilos[e] de flor de harina mezclada con dos litros[f] de aceite. 10 Presentarás también, como libación, dos litros de vino. Será una ofrenda presentada por fuego, de aroma grato al Señor. 11 Cada novillo, carnero, cordero o cabrito deberá prepararse de la manera indicada. 12 Procederás así con cada uno de ellos, sin que importe el número de animales que ofrezcas.
13 »Cada vez que un israelita presente una ofrenda por fuego, de aroma grato al Señor, se ceñirá a estas instrucciones. 14 Si un extranjero que viva entre vosotros desea presentar una ofrenda por fuego, de aroma grato al Señor, se ceñirá a estas mismas instrucciones, 15 porque en la comunidad regirá un solo estatuto para ti y para el extranjero que viva en tus ciudades. Será un estatuto perpetuo para todos tus descendientes. Tú y el extranjero sois iguales ante el Señor, 16 así que la misma ley y el mismo derecho regirán, tanto para ti como para el extranjero que viva contigo».
Ofrenda de los primeros frutos
17 El Señor le ordenó a Moisés 18 que les dijera a los israelitas: «Cuando entréis en la tierra adonde os llevo 19 y comáis de lo que ella produce, ofreceréis una contribución al Señor. 20 De tu primera horneada presentarás, como contribución, una torta de flor de harina. 21 Todos tus descendientes ofrecerán perpetuamente al Señor una contribución de la primera horneada.
Ofrendas por pecados inadvertidos
22 »Podría ocurrir que vosotros pecarais inadvertidamente y que no cumplierais con todos los mandamientos que el Señor entregó a Moisés, 23 es decir, con todos los mandamientos que el Señor os dio por medio de Moisés, desde el día en que los promulgó para todos vuestros descendientes. 24 Si el pecado de la comunidad pasa inadvertido, esta ofrecerá un novillo como holocausto de aroma grato al Señor, junto con la libación, la ofrenda de cereal y un macho cabrío como sacrificio expiatorio, tal como está prescrito. 25 El sacerdote hará propiciación en favor de toda la comunidad israelita, y serán perdonados porque fue un pecado inadvertido y porque presentaron al Señor una ofrenda por fuego y un sacrificio expiatorio por el pecado inadvertido que cometieron. 26 Toda la comunidad israelita será perdonada, junto con los extranjeros, porque todo el pueblo pecó inadvertidamente.
27 »Si es una persona la que peca inadvertidamente, deberá presentar, como sacrificio expiatorio, una cabra de un año. 28 El sacerdote hará propiciación ante el Señor en favor de la persona que haya pecado inadvertidamente. El sacerdote hará propiciación, y la persona que pecó será perdonada. 29 Una sola ley se aplicará para todo el que peque inadvertidamente, tanto para el israelita como para el extranjero residente.
30 »Pero el que peque deliberadamente, sea nativo o extranjero, ofende al Señor. Tal persona será eliminada de la comunidad, 31 y cargará con su culpa, por haber despreciado la palabra del Señor y quebrantado su mandamiento».
Quebrantamiento del día de reposo
32 Un sábado, durante la estancia de los israelitas en el desierto, un hombre fue sorprendido recogiendo leña. 33 Quienes lo sorprendieron lo llevaron ante Moisés y Aarón, y ante toda la comunidad. 34 Al principio solo quedó detenido, porque no estaba claro qué se debía hacer con él. 35 Entonces el Señor le dijo a Moisés: «Ese hombre debe morir. Que toda la comunidad lo apedree fuera del campamento». 36 Así que la comunidad lo llevó fuera del campamento y lo apedreó hasta matarlo, tal como el Señor se lo ordenó a Moisés.
Flecos recordatorios
37 El Señor le ordenó a Moisés 38 que les dijera a los israelitas: «Vosotros y todos vuestros descendientes deberéis confeccionaros flecos, y coserlos sobre vuestros vestidos con hilo de color púrpura. 39 Estos flecos os ayudarán a recordar que debéis cumplir con todos los mandamientos del Señor, y que no debéis prostituiros ni dejaros llevar por los impulsos de vuestro corazón ni por los deseos de vuestros ojos. 40 Tendréis presentes todos mis mandamientos, y los pondréis por obra. Así seréis mi pueblo consagrado. 41 Yo soy el Señor vuestro Dios, que os sacó de Egipto para ser vuestro Dios. ¡Yo soy el Señor!»

Supplementary Offerings
15 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘After you enter the land I am giving you(A) as a home 3 and you present to the Lord food offerings from the herd or the flock,(B) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord(C)—whether burnt offerings(D) or sacrifices, for special vows or freewill offerings(E) or festival offerings(F)— 4 then the person who brings an offering shall present to the Lord a grain offering(G) of a tenth of an ephah[a] of the finest flour(H) mixed with a quarter of a hin[b] of olive oil. 5 With each lamb(I) for the burnt offering or the sacrifice, prepare a quarter of a hin of wine(J) as a drink offering.(K)
6 “‘With a ram(L) prepare a grain offering(M) of two-tenths of an ephah[c](N) of the finest flour mixed with a third of a hin[d] of olive oil,(O) 7 and a third of a hin of wine(P) as a drink offering.(Q) Offer it as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(R)
8 “‘When you prepare a young bull(S) as a burnt offering or sacrifice, for a special vow(T) or a fellowship offering(U) to the Lord, 9 bring with the bull a grain offering(V) of three-tenths of an ephah[e](W) of the finest flour mixed with half a hin[f] of olive oil, 10 and also bring half a hin of wine(X) as a drink offering.(Y) This will be a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(Z) 11 Each bull or ram, each lamb or young goat, is to be prepared in this manner. 12 Do this for each one, for as many as you prepare.(AA)
13 “‘Everyone who is native-born(AB) must do these things in this way when they present a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(AC) 14 For the generations to come,(AD) whenever a foreigner(AE) or anyone else living among you presents a food(AF) offering(AG) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord, they must do exactly as you do. 15 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.(AH) You and the foreigner shall be the same before the Lord: 16 The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing among you.(AI)’”
17 The Lord said to Moses, 18 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land to which I am taking you(AJ) 19 and you eat the food of the land,(AK) present a portion as an offering to the Lord.(AL) 20 Present a loaf from the first of your ground meal(AM) and present it as an offering from the threshing floor.(AN) 21 Throughout the generations to come(AO) you are to give this offering to the Lord from the first of your ground meal.(AP)
Offerings for Unintentional Sins
22 “‘Now if you as a community unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the Lord gave Moses(AQ)— 23 any of the Lord’s commands to you through him, from the day the Lord gave them and continuing through the generations to come(AR)— 24 and if this is done unintentionally(AS) without the community being aware of it,(AT) then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering(AU) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord,(AV) along with its prescribed grain offering(AW) and drink offering,(AX) and a male goat for a sin offering.[g](AY) 25 The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven,(AZ) for it was not intentional(BA) and they have presented to the Lord for their wrong a food offering(BB) and a sin offering.(BC) 26 The whole Israelite community and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong.(BD)
27 “‘But if just one person sins unintentionally,(BE) that person must bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering.(BF) 28 The priest is to make atonement(BG) before the Lord for the one who erred by sinning unintentionally, and when atonement has been made, that person will be forgiven.(BH) 29 One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.(BI)
30 “‘But anyone who sins defiantly,(BJ) whether native-born or foreigner,(BK) blasphemes the Lord(BL) and must be cut off from the people of Israel.(BM) 31 Because they have despised(BN) the Lord’s word and broken his commands,(BO) they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.(BP)’”
The Sabbath-Breaker Put to Death
32 While the Israelites were in the wilderness,(BQ) a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.(BR) 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, 34 and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him.(BS) 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must die.(BT) The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.(BU)” 36 So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him(BV) to death,(BW) as the Lord commanded Moses.(BX)
Tassels on Garments
37 The Lord said to Moses, 38 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Throughout the generations to come(BY) you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments,(BZ) with a blue cord on each tassel. 39 You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember(CA) all the commands of the Lord, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves(CB) by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts(CC) and eyes. 40 Then you will remember to obey all my commands(CD) and will be consecrated to your God.(CE) 41 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God.(CF) I am the Lord your God.(CG)’”
