Numbers 15
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Laws about Offerings
15 The Lord instructed Moses, 2 ‘Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you to settle in,(A) 3 and you make a food offering(B) to the Lord from the herd or flock – either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfil a vow,(C) or as a freewill offering, or at your appointed festivals – to produce a pleasing aroma for the Lord,(D) 4 the one presenting his offering to the Lord is also to present a grain offering of two litres[a] of fine flour mixed with a litre[b] of oil. 5 Prepare a litre of wine as a drink offering(E) with the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb.
6 ‘If you prepare a grain offering with a ram, it is to be four litres[c] of fine flour mixed with 1.3 litres[d] of oil.(F) 7 Also present 1.3 litres of wine for a drink offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
8 ‘If you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice, to fulfil a vow, or as a fellowship offering to the Lord, 9 a grain offering of six litres[e] of fine flour mixed with two litres[f] of oil is to be presented with the bull.(G) 10 Also present two litres of wine as a drink offering. It is a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 11 This is to be done for each ox, ram, lamb, or goat. 12 This is how you are to prepare each of them, no matter how many.
13 ‘Every Israelite is to prepare these things in this way when he presents a food offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 14 When a foreigner resides with you or someone else is among you and wants to prepare a food offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, he is to do exactly as you do throughout your generations. 15 The assembly is to have the same statute for both you and the resident foreigner as a permanent statute throughout your generations.(H) You and the foreigner will be alike before the Lord. 16 The same law and the same ordinance will apply to both you and the foreigner who resides with you.’(I)
17 The Lord instructed Moses, 18 ‘Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land where I am bringing you, 19 you are to offer a contribution to the Lord when you eat from the food of the land. 20 You are to offer a loaf from your first batch of dough(J) as a contribution; offer it just like a contribution from the threshing-floor.(K) 21 Throughout your generations, you are to give the Lord a contribution from the first batch of your dough.
22 ‘When you sin unintentionally and do not obey all these commands that the Lord spoke to Moses(L) – 23 all that the Lord has commanded you through Moses, from the day the Lord issued the commands and onward throughout your generations – 24 and if it was done unintentionally without the community’s awareness, the entire community is to prepare one young bull for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering. 25 The priest will then make atonement for the entire Israelite community so that they may be forgiven,(M) for the sin was unintentional. They are to bring their offering, a food offering to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord for their unintentional sin. 26 The entire Israelite community and the foreigner who resides among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.
27 ‘If one person sins unintentionally,(N) he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering. 28 The priest will then make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the person who acts in error sinning unintentionally, and when he makes atonement for him, he will be forgiven. 29 You are to have the same law for the person who acts in error, whether he is an Israelite or a foreigner who resides among you.
30 ‘But the person who acts defiantly,[g] whether native or resident foreigner, blasphemes the Lord.(O) That person is to be cut off from his people. 31 He will certainly be cut off, because he has despised the Lord’s word and broken his command; his guilt remains on him.’
Sabbath Violation
32 While the Israelites were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day.(P) 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the entire community. 34 They placed him in custody because it had not been decided what should be done to him. 35 Then the Lord told Moses, ‘The man is to be put to death. The entire community is to stone him outside the camp.’(Q) 36 So the entire community brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Tassels for Remembrance
37 The Lord said to Moses, 38 ‘Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout their generations they are to make tassels(R) for the corners of their garments, and put a blue cord on the tassel at each corner. 39 These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the Lord’s commands and obey them and not prostitute yourselves by following your own heart(S) and your own eyes.(T) 40 This way you will remember and obey all my commands and be holy to 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.’(U)
Numbers 15
King James Version
15 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 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,
3 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:
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the Lord.
8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the Lord:
9 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.
Numeri 15
La Nuova Diodati
15 Poi l'Eterno parlò a Mosè, dicendo:
2 «Parla ai figli d'Israele e di' loro: Quando sarete entrati nel paese che dovete abitare che io vi do,
3 e offrirete all'Eterno un sacrificio fatto col fuoco, un olocausto o un sacrificio, per l'adempimento di un voto o come offerta volontaria o nelle vostre feste stabilite, per fare un odore soave all'Eterno con un animale, preso dalla mandria o dal gregge,
4 colui che presenterà la sua offerta all'Eterno, offrirà come oblazione di cibo un decimo di efa di fior di farina mescolata con un quarto di hin di olio;
5 inoltre porterai una libazione di un quarto di hin di vino con l'olocausto o il sacrificio, per ogni agnello.
6 Se è per un montone, porterai come oblazione di cibo due decimi di efa di fior di farina mescolata con un terzo di hin di olio,
7 e farai una libazione di un terzo di hin di vino come offerta di odore soave all'Eterno.
8 Se invece come olocausto o come sacrificio porti un torello, per l'adempimento di un voto o come sacrificio di ringraziamento all'Eterno,
9 assieme al torello si offrirà, come oblazione di cibo, tre decimi di efa di fior di farina mescolata con mezzo hin di olio;
10 e porterai come libazione mezzo hin di vino; è un sacrificio fatto col fuoco, di odore soave all'Eterno.
11 Così si farà per ogni torello, per ogni montone, per ogni agnello o capretto, secondo il numero che preparate.
12 Farete così per ogni animale che porterete.
13 Tutti quelli che sono nativi del paese faranno le cose così, quando offriranno un sacrificio fatto col fuoco di odore soave all'Eterno.
14 E se uno straniero che risiede con voi, o chiunque si trovi tra di voi nelle generazioni future, desiderasse offrire un sacrificio fatto col fuoco, di odore soave all'Eterno, farà come fate voi.
15 Vi sarà un solo statuto per tutta l'assemblea, per voi e per lo straniero che risiede con voi; sarà uno statuto perpetuo, per tutte le vostre generazioni; come siete voi, così sarà lo straniero davanti all'Eterno.
16 Ci sarà una stessa legge e uno stesso decreto per voi e per lo straniero che risiede con voi».
17 L'Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè, dicendo:
18 Parla ai figli d'Israele e di' loro: Quando sarete arrivati nel paese dove io vi conduco,
19 e mangerete il pane del paese, presenterete all'Eterno un'offerta elevata.
20 Delle primizie della vostra pasta presenterete una focaccia come offerta elevata; la presenterete come un'offerta elevata dell'aia.
21 Delle primizie della vostra pasta darete all'Eterno un'offerta elevata per tutte le vostre generazioni.
22 Se avete peccato per ignoranza e non avete osservato tutti questi comandamenti che l'Eterno ha trasmesso a Mosè,
23 tutto ciò che l'Eterno vi ha comandato per mezzo di Mosè, dal giorno che l'Eterno vi ha dato dei comandi e in seguito per tutte le vostre generazioni,
24 se il peccato è stato commesso per ignoranza, senza che l'assemblea se ne rendesse conto, tutta l'assemblea offrirà un torello come olocausto in odore soave all'Eterno, assieme alla sua oblazione di cibo e alla sua libazione secondo quanto è decretato, e un capretto come sacrificio per il peccato.
25 Così il sacerdote farà l'espiazione per tutta l'assemblea dei figli d'Israele e sarà loro perdonato, perché è stato un peccato commesso per ignoranza, ed essi hanno portato la loro offerta, un sacrificio fatto all'Eterno col fuoco, e il loro sacrificio per il peccato davanti all'Eterno, per il loro peccato d'ignoranza.
26 Sarà perdonato a tutta l'assemblea dei figli d'Israele e allo straniero che risiede in mezzo a loro, perché tutto il popolo lo ha fatto per ignoranza.
27 Se è una sola persona a peccare per ignoranza, offra una capra di un anno come sacrificio per il peccato.
28 E il sacerdote farà l'espiazione davanti all'Eterno per la persona che ha peccato per ignoranza, quando lo ha fatto senza la dovuta conoscenza; il sacerdote farà l'espiazione per essa e il peccato le sarà perdonato.
29 Si tratti di un nativo del paese tra i figli di Israele o di uno straniero che risiede tra di voi, avrete un'unica legge per colui che pecca per ignoranza.
30 Ma la persona che commette un peccato deliberatamente, sia essa nativa del paese o straniera, oltraggia l'Eterno; quella persona sarà sterminata di mezzo al suo popolo.
31 Poiché ha disprezzato la parola dell'Eterno e ha violato il suo comandamento, quella persona dovrà essere sterminata; porterà il peso della sua iniquità».
32 Mentre i figli d'Israele erano nel deserto, trovarono un uomo che raccoglieva legna in giorno di sabato.
33 Quelli che l'avevano trovato a raccogliere legna lo portarono a Mosè, ad Aaronne e a tutta l'assemblea.
34 E lo misero in prigione perché non era ancora stato definito che cosa fargli.
35 Poi l'Eterno disse a Mosè: «Quell'uomo deve essere messo a morte; tutta l'assemblea lo lapiderà fuori del campo».
36 Così tutta l'assemblea lo portò fuori dell'accampamento e lo lapidò; e quello mori, come l'Eterno aveva ordinato a Mosè.
37 L'Eterno parlò ancora a Mosè dicendo:
38 «Parla ai figli d'Israele e di' loro che si facciano, di generazione in generazione, delle frange agli angoli delle loro vesti e che mettano alle frange di ogni angolo un cordone violetto.
39 Sarà una frangia alla quale guarderete per ricordarvi di tutti i comandamenti dell'Eterno e metterli in pratica, e per non seguire invece il vostro cuore e i vostri occhi che vi portano alla fornicazione.
40 Così vi ricorderete di tutti i miei comandamenti e li metterete in pratica, e sarete santi per il vostro DIO.
41 Io sono l'Eterno, il vostro DIO, che vi ho fatti uscire dal paese d'Egitto per essere il vostro DIO. Io sono l'Eterno, il vostro DIO».
