Numbers 15
Wycliffe Bible
15 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
2 Speak thou to the sons of Israel (Speak thou to the Israelites), and thou shalt say to them, When ye have entered into the land of your habitation, which I shall give to you,
3 and ye shall make an offering to the Lord into burnt sacrifice, either a peaceable sacrifice, and ye pay avows, either offer gifts by free will, either in your solemnities ye burn odour of sweetness to the Lord, of oxen, either of sheep; (and ye shall make an offering to the Lord for a burnt sacrifice, or a peace offering, or ye pay vows, or freely offer gifts, or at your feasts, or your festivals, ye make the sweetest aroma to the Lord, by burning oxen, or sheep;)
4 whoever offereth the slain sacrifice, shall offer a sacrifice of flour, the tenth part of (an) ephah, sprinkled (al)together with oil, which oil shall have a measure (of) the fourth part of (a) hin; (whoever offereth a burnt sacrifice, shall also offer a grain offering, the tenth of an ephah, sprinkled with oil, which oil shall be a quarter of a hin;)
5 and he shall give wine to [the] flowing sacrifices to be poured (out), of the same measure, into burnt sacrifice, and slain sacrifice. (and he shall add the same measure of wine, for the wine offering to be poured out, with the burnt sacrifice.)
6 By each lamb and ram shall be the sacrifice of [tried] flour, of two tenth parts, which shall be sprinkled (al)together with oil, of the third part of (a) hin; (With each lamb and each ram shall be a grain offering of fine flour of two tenths of an ephah, which shall be sprinkled with a third of a hin of oil;)
7 and he shall offer wine to the flowing sacrifice, of the third part of the same measure, into odour of sweetness to the Lord. (and he shall offer wine of the same measure, for the wine offering, that is, a third of a hin, to make the sweetest aroma to the Lord.)
8 Forsooth when thou makest a burnt sacrifice, either an offering, of oxen, that thou [ful]fill a vow, either peaceable sacrifice[s], (And when thou makest a burnt sacrifice, or a sacrifice, of an ox, so that thou fulfill a vow, or a peace offering,)
9 thou shalt give, by each ox, three tenth parts of tried flour, sprinkled (al)together with oil, which shall have the half measure of (a) hin; (thou shalt give, with each ox, a grain offering of fine flour, three tenths of an ephah, sprinkled with half a hin of oil;)
10 and thou shalt give wine to [the] flowing sacrifice to be poured (out), of the same measure, into offering of the sweetest odour to the Lord. (and thou shalt give wine of the same measure, that is, half a hin, for the wine offering to be poured out, to make an offering of the sweetest aroma to the Lord.)
11 So ye shall do by each ox, and ram, and lamb, and kid; (So ye shall do with each ox, and ram, and lamb, and goat kid;)
12 (See verse 11 above.)
13 as well men born in the land, as pilgrims, shall offer sacrifices by the same custom; (people born in the land, as well as foreigners, or strangers, shall offer these offerings by the same custom;)
14 (See verse 13 above.)
15 (See verse 16 below.)
16 one commandment and doom shall be, as well to you as to [the] comelings of the land. (one law and one custom shall be for you, and for all the newcomers in the land.)
17 And the Lord spake to Moses, and said,
18 Speak thou to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When ye come into the land which I shall give to you,
19 and ye eat of the loaves of that country, ye shall separate a little cake of your pastes to the Lord (ye shall set apart a little cake, as a contribution to the Lord);
20 as ye shall separate the first fruits of your cornfloors, (as ye shall set apart the first fruits from your threshing floors,)
21 so ye shall give the first fruits also of your sowls to the Lord. (so ye shall also give the first fruits of your dough to the Lord.)
22 That if by ignorance ye pass (over) any of those things which the Lord spake to Moses, (And if, by ignorance, ye forget to do any of these things which the Lord spoke to Moses,)
23 and [hath] commanded by him to you, from the day in which he began to command (to Moses), and over (and thereafter),
24 and the multitude hath forgotten to do this, it shall offer a calf of the drove, (for) burnt sacrifice into sweetest odour to the Lord, and the sacrifices thereof, and (the) flowing offerings, as the ceremonies thereof ask; and it shall offer a buck of (the) goats for sin. (but the multitude hath forgotten to do this, they shall offer a calf from the herd, for a burnt sacrifice, to make the sweetest aroma to the Lord, with its grain and wine offerings, as such ceremonies require; and they shall offer a goat buck for a sin offering.)
25 And the priest shall pray for all the multitude of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven to them, for they sinned not willfully. And nevertheless they shall offer incense to the Lord for themselves, and for their sin, and their error; (And the priest shall make amends for all the multitude of the Israelites, and it shall be forgiven to them, for they did not sin willfully, or intentionally. And they have now offered incense to the Lord for themselves, yea, a sin offering for their error;)
26 and it shall be forgiven to all the people of the sons of Israel, and to the comelings that be pilgrims among them, for it is the sin of all the multitude by ignorance. (and so it shall be forgiven to all the people of the Israelites, and to the foreigners who be newcomers among them, for it is a sin of ignorance by all the multitude.)
27 That if a soul sinneth unwittingly, it shall offer a [she] goat of one year for his sin; (And if someone sinneth unwittingly, he shall offer a one-year-old she goat, for his sin offering;)
28 and the priest shall pray for that soul, for it sinned unwittingly before the Lord; and the priest shall get forgiveness to it, and the sin shall be forgiven to him. (and the priest shall make amends for that person, for he sinned unwittingly before the Lord; and so the priest shall get forgiveness for him, and his sin shall be forgiven.)
29 As well to men born in the land, as to comelings, one law shall be of all that sin unwittingly. (Yea, for men born in the land, as well as for newcomers, one law shall be for all who sin unwittingly, or unintentionally.)
30 Forsooth a man that doeth any sin by pride, shall perish from the people, whether he be a citizen, either a pilgrim, for he was rebel against the Lord; (But anyone who doeth any sin by pride, shall be cut off from the people/shall be put to death, whether he is a citizen, or a foreigner, for he rebelled against the Lord;)
31 for he despised the word of the Lord, and made void his commandment; therefore he shall be done away (and so he shall be cut off/and so he shall be put to death), and shall bear his own wickedness.
32 Soothly it was done, when the sons of Israel were in wilderness, and they had found a man gathering wood in the sabbath day, (And it was done, when the Israelites were still in the wilderness, and they found a man gathering wood on the sabbath day,)
33 they brought him to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the multitude;
34 the which closed, or put, him into prison, and they knew not what they should do to him. (and they enclosed him in prison, and they did not know what they should do with him.)
35 And the Lord said to Moses, This man die by death; all the company oppress him with stones without the tents. (And the Lord said to Moses, This man must be put to death; take him away from the tents, and have all the people kill him with stones.)
36 And when they had led him withoutforth, they killed him with stones, and (so) he was dead, as the Lord commanded (to Moses).
37 Also the Lord said to Moses,
38 Speak thou to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, that they make to them hems by (the) four corners of their mantles, and fasten they in them laces of jacinth; (Speak thou to the Israelites, and thou shalt say to them, beginning now, and forevermore, they shall put tassels on the four corners of their mantles, and fasten a blue ribbon to the tassels;)
39 and when they see those, have they mind of all the commandments of the Lord, lest they follow their [own] thoughts and their eyes, doing fornication by diverse things. (and when they see those things, they shall remember all the Lord’s commands, lest they follow their own thoughts, and their own eyes, and do idolatry with diverse things;)
40 but more be they mindful of the behests of the Lord, and do they those, and be they holy to their God. (yea, let them remember the Lord’s commands, and do they them, and be they holy, yea, consecrated to their God.)
41 I am your Lord God, which led you out of the land of Egypt, that I should be your God. (I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt, so that I could be 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.”

Tillägg till offerlagarna
15 Herren talade till Mose. Han sade: 2 ”Tala till Israels barn och säg till dem: När ni kommer in i det land som jag ger er att bo i, 3 (A) och ni vill offra ett eldsoffer åt Herren, ett brännoffer eller ett slaktoffer av nöt eller småboskap, för att bereda Herren en ljuvlig doft – vare sig det gäller att fullgöra ett löfte eller om det är ett frivilligt offer eller era högtidsoffer – 4 (B) så ska den som bär fram ett sådant offer åt Herren, också som matoffer bära fram en tiondels efa fint mjöl, blandat med en fjärdedels hin[a] olja, 5 och som dryckesoffer ska du offra en fjärdedels hin vin för varje lamm tillsammans med brännoffret eller slaktoffret.
6 Till en bagge ska du som matoffer offra två tiondels efa fint mjöl, blandat med en tredjedels hin olja,[b] 7 och som dryckesoffer ska du bära fram en tredjedels hin vin till en ljuvlig doft för Herren. 8 När du offrar en ungtjur till brännoffer eller slaktoffer för att fullgöra ett löfte eller som gemenskapsoffer[c] åt Herren, 9 ska du tillsammans med tjuren som matoffer bära fram tre tiondels efa fint mjöl, blandat med en halv hin[d] olja, 10 och som dryckesoffer ska du bära fram en halv hin vin, det är ett eldsoffer till en ljuvlig doft för Herren.
11 Så ska man göra med varje tjur, varje bagge, varje lamm eller killing. 12 Efter det antal ni offrar, ska ni göra så med var och en efter deras antal. 13 Varje infödd ska göra så när han bär fram ett eldsoffer till en ljuvlig doft för Herren. 14 När en främling som bor hos er eller någon som vistas ibland er i kommande släkten vill offra ett eldsoffer till en ljuvlig doft för Herren, ska han göra så som ni gör. 15 (C) Inom församlingen ska samma stadga gälla för er och för främlingen hos er, en evig stadga från släkte till släkte. Som det är för er, så ska det vara för främlingen inför Herrens ansikte. 16 Samma lag och samma rätt ska gälla för er och för främlingen som bor hos er.”
17 Herren talade till Mose. Han sade: 18 ”Tala till Israels barn och säg till dem: När ni kommer in i det land dit jag för er, 19 (D) då ska ni, när ni äter av landets bröd, ge Herren en offergåva av det. 20 (E) Av det första ni bakar ska ni ge en kaka till offergåva, som en offergåva från er loge ska ni ge den. 21 Ni ska ge åt Herren en offergåva, släkte efter släkte, av det första ni bakar.
22 Om ni försyndar er och inte håller alla dessa bud som Herren kungjorde för Mose 23 – allt det som Herren befallde er genom Mose, från den dag då Herren gav sina befallningar och allt framgent, släkte efter släkte, – 24 (F) om det gjordes av misstag utan att församlingen visste det, ska hela församlingen offra en ungtjur som brännoffer, till en ljuvlig doft för Herren, med matoffret och dryckesoffret på föreskrivet sätt, och likaså en bock till syndoffer. 25 Och prästen ska bringa försoning för hela Israels församling, och de ska få förlåtelse. Det var en synd av misstag, och de har burit fram sitt offer, ett eldsoffer åt Herren och sitt syndoffer inför Herrens ansikte för sitt misstag. 26 Hela Israels församling och främlingen som bor bland dem ska få förlåtelse, eftersom hela folket hade del i synden som gjordes av misstag.
27 (G) Om en enskild person av misstag syndar, ska han som syndoffer föra fram en årsgammal get. 28 Prästen ska bringa försoning för den som har felat genom att av misstag synda inför Herrens ansikte. Så blir han försonad och får förlåtelse. 29 Både för den infödde bland Israels barn och för främlingen som bor ibland dem ska samma lag gälla när någon begår en synd av misstag. 30 Men den som begår något med berått mod[e], vare sig han är infödd eller främling, han hånar Herren och ska utrotas ur sitt folk. 31 Eftersom han har föraktat Herrens ord och brutit mot hans bud, måste han utrotas. Hans missgärning vilar på honom.”
En sabbatsbrytare stenas
32 Medan Israels barn var i öknen, ertappades en man med att samla ved på sabbatsdagen. 33 De som ertappade honom med att samla ved förde honom till Mose och Aron och hela församlingen. 34 (H) Då det inte var klart utsagt vad som borde göras med honom, satte de honom i förvar.
35 Och Herren sade till Mose: ”Mannen ska straffas med döden. Hela församlingen ska stena honom utanför lägret.” 36 Då förde hela församlingen ut honom utanför lägret och stenade honom till döds, så som Herren hade befallt Mose.
Hörntofsarna
37 Herren sade till Mose: 38 (I) ”Tala till Israels barn och säg till dem att de, släkte efter släkte, ska göra tofsar[f] i hörnen på sina kläder och sätta ett mörkblått[g] snöre på varje hörntofs. 39 Ni ska ha sådana tofsar, och när ni ser dem ska ni tänka på alla Herrens bud och göra efter dem och inte följa era egna hjärtan och ögon, som lockar er till otrohet. 40 Så ska ni tänka på och göra efter alla mina bud och vara heliga inför er Gud. 41 Jag är Herren er Gud, som förde er ut ur Egyptens land för att vara er Gud. Jag är Herren er Gud.”
