Laws of Grain and Drink Offerings

15 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ^2 (A)“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you have come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving to you, ³ and you ^(B)make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, ^(C)to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or ^(D)in your appointed feasts, to make a ^(E)sweet^[a] aroma to the Lord, from the herd or the flock, ⁴ then ^(F)he who presents his offering to the Lord shall bring ^(G)a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed ^(H)with one-fourth of a hin of oil; ^5 (I)and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering you shall prepare with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each ^(J)lamb. ^6 (K)Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-third of a hin of oil; ⁷ and as a drink offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a sweet aroma to the Lord. ⁸ And when you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a ^(L)peace offering to the Lord, ⁹ then shall be offered ^(M)with the young bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil; ¹⁰ and you shall bring as the drink offering half a hin of wine as an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

^11 (N)‘Thus it shall be done for each young bull, for each ram, or for each lamb or young goat. ¹² According to the number that you prepare, so you shall do with everyone according to their number. ¹³ All who are native-born shall do these things in this manner, in presenting an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. ¹⁴ And if a stranger ^[b]dwells with you, or whoever is among you throughout your generations, and would present an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord, just as you do, so shall he do. ^15 (O)One ^[c]ordinance shall be for you of the assembly and for the stranger who dwells with you, an ordinance forever throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord. ¹⁶ One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who dwells with you.’ ”

¹⁷ Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ^18 (P)“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land to which I bring you, ¹⁹ then it will be, when you eat of ^(Q)the bread of the land, that you shall offer up a heave offering to the Lord. ^20 (R)You shall offer up a cake of the first of your ground meal as a heave offering; as ^(S)a heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall you offer it up. ²¹ Of the first of your ground meal you shall give to the Lord a heave offering throughout your generations.

Laws Concerning Unintentional Sin

^22 (T)‘If you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to Moses— ²³ all that the Lord has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day the Lord gave commandment and onward throughout your generations— ²⁴ then it will be, ^(U)if it is unintentionally committed, ^[d]without the knowledge of the congregation, that the whole congregation shall offer one young bull as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma to the Lord, ^(V)with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and ^(W)one kid of the goats as a sin offering. ^25 (X)So the priest shall make atonement for the whole congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it was unintentional; they shall bring their offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their unintended sin. ²⁶ It shall be forgiven the whole congregation of the children of Israel and the stranger who dwells among them, because all the people did it unintentionally.

²⁷ ‘And ^(Y)if a person sins unintentionally, then he shall bring a female goat in its first year as a sin offering. ^28 (Z)So the priest shall make atonement for the person who sins unintentionally, when he sins unintentionally before the Lord, to make atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. ^29 (AA)You shall have one law for him who sins unintentionally, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel and for the stranger who dwells among them.

Law Concerning Presumptuous Sin

^30 (AB)‘But the person who does anything ^[e]presumptuously, whether he is native-born or a stranger, that one ^[f]brings reproach on the Lord, and he shall be ^[g]cut off from among his people. ³¹ Because he has ^(AC)despised the word of the Lord, and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his ^[h]guilt shall be upon him.’ ”

Penalty for Violating the Sabbath^(AD)

³² Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, ^(AE)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 They put him ^(AF)under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.

³⁵ Then the Lord said to Moses, ^(AG)“The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall ^(AH)stone him with stones outside the camp.” ³⁶ So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.

Tassels on Garments

³⁷ Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ³⁸ “Speak to the children of Israel: Tell ^(AI)them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners. ³⁹ And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and ^(AJ)remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them, and that you ^(AK)may not ^(AL)follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, ⁴⁰ and that you may remember and do all My commandments, and be ^(AM)holy for your God. ⁴¹ 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.”
