Numbers 15
American Standard Version
15 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you, 3 and will make an offering by fire unto Jehovah, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, [a]to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill-offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor unto Jehovah, of the herd, or of the flock; 4 then shall he that offereth his oblation offer unto Jehovah a meal-offering of a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil: 5 and wine for the drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb. 6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meal-offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil: 7 and for the drink-offering thou shalt offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah. 8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, [b]to accomplish a vow, or for peace-offerings unto Jehovah; 9 then shall he offer with the bullock a meal-offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil: 10 and thou shalt offer for the drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
11 Thus shall it be done for each bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids. 12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number. 13 All that are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah. 14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah; as ye do, so he shall do. 15 For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you, a statute for ever throughout your generations: as ye are, so shall the sojourner be before Jehovah. 16 One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
17 And Jehovah 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 a heave-offering unto Jehovah. 20 Of the first of your [c]dough ye shall offer up a cake for a heave-offering: as the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye heave it. 21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto Jehovah a heave-offering throughout your generations.
22 And when ye shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, 23 even all that Jehovah hath commanded you by Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations; 24 then it shall be, if it be done [d]unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor unto Jehovah, with the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof, according to the ordinance, and one he-goat for a sin-offering. 25 And 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 oblation, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah, and their sin-offering before Jehovah, for their error: 26 and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.
27 And if one person sin unwittingly, then he shall offer a she-goat a year old for a sin-offering. 28 And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth unwittingly, before Jehovah, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. 29 Ye shall have one law for him that doeth aught unwittingly, for him that is home-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. 30 But the soul that doeth aught with a high hand, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, the same blasphemeth Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31 Because he hath despised the word of Jehovah, 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 gathering 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 had not been declared what should be done to him. 35 And Jehovah said unto Moses, The man shall surely be 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 to death with stones; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
37 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them [e]fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of each border a cord of blue: 39 and it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that ye [f]follow not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to play the harlot; 40 that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. 41 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah your God.

Numbers 15
New King James Version
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.”

Leyes adicionales sobre las ofrendas
15 El Señor habló con Moisés y le dio las siguientes órdenes para el pueblo de Israel: 2 «Cuando los hijos de ustedes estén en la tierra que les voy a dar 3 y quieran agradar al Señor con una ofrenda quemada por completo u otro tipo de ofrenda, ofrecerán un animal de sus rebaños de ovejas, cabras o vacas. Cada sacrificio, sea ordinario o para cumplir un voto, sea una ofrenda voluntaria o un sacrificio especial en una de las festividades anuales, será acompañado de una ofrenda de grano. 4 Si lo que se sacrifica es un cordero, se usarán dos kilos y medio de harina fina mezclada con un litro de aceite, 5 y acompañada por un litro de vino para la libación.
6 »Si el sacrificio es un carnero, usará cinco kilos de harina fina mezclada con un litro y tercio de aceite, 7 y un litro y tercio de vino para la libación. Este será un sacrificio de olor grato delante del Señor.
8-9 »Si el sacrificio es un becerro, la ofrenda de grano que lo acompaña será de siete kilos de harina fina mezclada con dos litros de aceite, 10 más dos litros de vino para la libación. Esto será presentado como ofrenda encendida de olor grato delante del Señor.
11-12 »Estas son las instrucciones sobre lo que debe ir junto a cada sacrificio sea de becerro, cordero o cabrito. 13-14 Estas instrucciones deben seguirlas los israelitas nativos y los extranjeros que vivan entre ellos y deseen agradar al Señor con sacrificio u ofrendas encendidas. 15-16 Esta misma ley rige para todos, israelitas o extranjeros, y tendrá vigencia de generación en generación para siempre. Todos son iguales delante del Señor. La misma ley regirá para todos».
Ofrenda de las primicias
17 El Señor también dijo a Moisés en este tiempo: 18 «Dile al pueblo de Israel que cuando hayan entrado en la tierra que les voy a dar, 19-21 deben ofrecer al Señor las primicias de la nueva cosecha presentándole un pan de harina gruesa cada año. Este pan será ofrecido al Señor, anualmente, de generación en generación.
Ofrendas por pecados inadvertidos
22-23 »Si por error tú o las generaciones futuras no cumplen con todas las reglas que el Señor les ha dado a través de los años por medio de Moisés, 24 el pueblo debe ofrecer un becerro como ofrenda totalmente quemada al comprender el error. Será de olor grato delante del Señor, y será sacrificado con la ofrenda de grano y la libación acostumbradas, y un chivo como ofrenda por el pecado. 25 El sacerdote hará esa ofrenda por el perdón de todo el pueblo de Israel y así quedarán libres de culpa. Era un error y lo han corregido con la ofrenda encendida al Señor y con su ofrenda por el pecado. 26 Todo el pueblo será perdonado, así como los extranjeros que vivan entre ellos, porque toda la población cayó en el error y será perdonada juntamente.
27 »Si el error lo cometió un individuo, ofrecerá una cabra de un año como ofrenda por el pecado, 28 y el sacerdote hará la ofrenda por el pecado, en su nombre, delante del Señor y será perdonado. 29 Esta misma ley se aplica a los israelitas y a los extranjeros que viven entre ustedes.
30 »Pero si alguien deliberadamente comete un pecado, sea israelita o extranjero, está blasfemando contra el Señor y será cortado de en medio de su pueblo. 31 Ha despreciado el mandamiento del Señor y deliberadamente ha dejado de obedecer su ley. Deberá ser ejecutado a causa de su pecado».
Quebrantamiento del día de reposo
32 Un día, estando el pueblo de Israel en el desierto, uno de ellos fue sorprendido recogiendo leña en el día de reposo. 33 Fue arrestado y llevado delante de Moisés, Aarón y los demás jueces. 34 Lo encerraron hasta que pudiesen saber con respecto a este caso.
35 Entonces el Señor le dijo a Moisés:
«Ese hombre debe morir. Todo el pueblo lo apedreará fuera del campamento hasta darle muerte».
36 Entonces lo llevaron fuera del campamento y le dieron muerte de la manera que el Señor lo había ordenado.
Flecos recordatorios
37 El Señor le dijo a Moisés: 38 «Dile al pueblo de Israel que hagan flecos para ponerlos en los bordes de sus vestiduras (esta es una regla permanente de generación en generación) y que cosan los flecos con un hilo azul. 39 El propósito de esta regla es recordarles los mandamientos del Señor cada vez que vean los flecos, y para que obedezcan sus leyes en vez de seguir sus propios deseos y de andar en sus propios caminos como lo hacían cuando servían a otros dioses. 40 Les recordará que deben ser santos para Dios. 41 Porque yo soy el Señor, que los saqué de la tierra de Egipto. Sí; yo soy el Señor su Dios».
