獻祭的條例

15 耶和華吩咐摩西說: 「你要吩咐以色列人,對他們說:你們到了我所賜給你們居住的地, 你們要從牛羣羊羣中取牲畜獻給耶和華為火祭,無論是燔祭或祭物,為要還所許特別的願或甘心祭,或節期的祭,作為獻給耶和華的馨香之祭, 那獻供物的要將十分之一伊法細麵和四分之一欣油調和作素祭,獻給耶和華。 無論是燔祭或祭物,要為每隻小綿羊預備四分之一欣酒作澆酒祭。 要為每隻公綿羊預備十分之二伊法細麵,和三分之一欣油調和作素祭, 又用三分之一欣酒作澆酒祭,獻給耶和華為馨香之祭。 你預備公牛獻給耶和華作燔祭或祭物,為要還所許特別的願,或平安祭, 就要把十分之三伊法細麵和半欣油調和作素祭,和公牛一同獻上, 10 又用半欣酒作澆酒祭,獻給耶和華為馨香的火祭。

11 「獻公牛、或公綿羊、或小綿羊、或小山羊,每隻都要這樣處理; 12 無論你們所獻的數目多少,照着數目每隻都要這樣處理。 13 凡本地人將馨香的火祭獻給耶和華,都要照樣處理。 14 若有外人寄居在你們那裏,或有人世世代代住在你們中間,願意將馨香的火祭獻給耶和華,你們怎樣處理,他也要照樣處理。 15 至於會眾,無論是你們或寄居的外人都要遵守同一條例;這是你們世世代代永遠的定例。在耶和華面前,你們怎樣,寄居的也要怎樣。 16 你們和寄居在你們那裏的外人要遵守同一律法,同一典章。」

17 耶和華吩咐摩西說: 18 「你要吩咐以色列人,對他們說:你們到了我領你們進去的那地, 19 吃那地的糧食時,要把舉祭獻給耶和華。 20 你們要用初熟的麥子磨麵,做成餅當舉祭獻上。你們要舉上,如同舉禾場的舉祭。 21 你們世世代代要用初熟的麥子磨麵,當舉祭獻給耶和華。

22 「你們若犯了錯,不遵守耶和華所吩咐摩西的這一切命令, 23 就是耶和華藉摩西一切所命令你們的,從耶和華命令的那日直到你們的世世代代, 24 會眾因沒有察覺而犯了無心之過,全會眾就要將一頭公牛犢作燔祭,遵照典章把素祭和澆酒祭一同獻給耶和華為馨香的祭,又要獻一隻公山羊作贖罪祭。 25 祭司要為以色列全會眾贖罪,他們就必蒙赦免,因為這是無心之過。他們要因自己的無心之過,把供物,就是向耶和華當獻的火祭和贖罪祭,帶到耶和華面前。 26 以色列全會眾和寄居在他們中間的外人就必蒙赦免,因為這是眾百姓的無心之過。

27 「若有一個人無意中犯了罪,他就要獻一隻一歲的母山羊作贖罪祭。 28 這誤犯罪的人因無意中犯了罪,祭司要在耶和華面前為他贖罪,他就必蒙赦免。 29 以色列中的本地人和寄居在他們中間的外人,若無意中犯了罪,都要遵守同一律法。 30 但那故意犯罪的人,無論是本地人是寄居的,褻瀆了耶和華,這人必從百姓中剪除。 31 因為他藐視耶和華的話,違背耶和華的命令,這人一定要剪除;他的罪孽要歸到自己身上。」

違反安息日的人

32 以色列人還在曠野的時候,發現有一個人在安息日撿柴。 33 發現他撿柴的人把他帶到摩西亞倫以及全會眾那裏。 34 他們把他收押在監裏,因為還不知道要怎樣懲罰他。 35 耶和華吩咐摩西說:「這人應當處死;全會眾要在營外用石頭打死他。」 36 於是全會眾把他帶到營外,用石頭打死他,是照耶和華所吩咐摩西的。

有關衣服繸子的條例

37 耶和華對摩西說: 38 「你吩咐以色列人,對他們說,他們世世代代要在衣服邊上縫繸子,並在邊上的繸子釘一條藍色帶子。 39 你們要佩帶這繸子,好叫你們看見它就記起耶和華一切的命令,並且遵行,不隨從自己內心和眼目的情慾而跟着行淫。 40 這樣,你們就必記得並遵行我一切的命令,成為聖,歸你們的 神。

41 「我是耶和華—你們的 神,曾把你們從埃及地領出來,要作你們的 神。我是耶和華—你們的 神。」

15 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,

And will make an offering by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the Lord, of the herd or of the flock:

Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the Lord bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil.

And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.

Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.

And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the Lord.

And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the Lord:

Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.

10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

11 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.

12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.

13 All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord; as ye do, so he shall do.

15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.

16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

17 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,

19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the Lord.

20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.

21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the Lord an heave offering in your generations.

22 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the Lord hath spoken unto Moses,

23 Even all that the Lord hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;

24 Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the Lord, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.

25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their ignorance:

26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.

27 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.

28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the Lord, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.

30 But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

31 Because he hath despised the word of the Lord, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.

33 And they that found him gathering sticks 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 without the camp.

36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.

37 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them 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, after which ye use to go a whoring:

40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

41 I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.

Laws About Sacrifices

15 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “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, 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, 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; 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. (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. And for the drink offering you shall offer a third of a hin of wine, a (K)pleasing aroma to the Lord. 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, 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.”
