Numbers 15
Revised Geneva Translation
15 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,
3 ‘and make an offering by fire to the LORD—a Burnt Offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow or a Free Offering or in your Feasts—to make a sweet savor to the LORD—from the herd or from the flock,
4 ‘then let him who offers his offering to the LORD bring a Meat Offering of one tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mingled with one fourth of a hin of oil.
5 ‘Also, you shall prepare one fourth of a hin of wine, to be poured on a lamb for the Burnt Offering or any offering.
6 And for a ram, you shall prepare for a Meat Offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour, mingled with one third of a hin of oil.
7 ‘And for a Drink Offering, you shall offer one third of a hin of wine, for a sweet savor to the LORD.
8 ‘And when you prepare a bullock for a Burnt Offering, or for a sacrifice to fulfill a vow or a Peace Offering to the LORD,
9 ‘then let him offer with the bullock a Meat Offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour, mingled with half a hin of oil.
10 ‘And you shall bring for a Drink Offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire of a sweet savor to the LORD.
11 ‘Thus shall it be done for a bullock or for a ram or for a lamb or for a kid.
12 ‘According to the number that you prepare, so shall you do to everyone, according to their number.
13 ‘All who are born in the country shall do these things in this way, to offer an offering made by fire of sweet savor to the LORD.
14 ‘And if a stranger sojourns with you (or whoever is among you in your generations) and will make an Offering by fire of a sweet savor to the LORD, as you do, so he shall do.
15 ‘One Ordinance shall be both for you of the Congregation and also for the stranger who dwells with you, an Ordinance forever in your generations. As you are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
16 ‘One Law and one manner shall serve both for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.’”
17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
18 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When you have come into the land to which I bring you,
19 ‘and when you shall eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer a Heave Offering to the LORD.
20 ‘You shall offer up a cake from the first of your dough, for a Heave Offering. As the Heave Offering of the barn, so you shall lift it up.
21 ‘From the first of your dough you shall give to the LORD a Heave Offering, in your generations.
22 ‘And if you have erred, and not observed 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 first day that the LORD Commanded Moses and hence forward among your generations—
24 ‘and if this is committed unintentionally by the Congregation, then all the Congregation shall give a bullock for a Burnt Offering, for a sweet savor to the LORD, with its Meat Offering and Drink Offering (according to the manner) and a male goat 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 unintentional. And they shall bring their offering for an offering made by fire to the LORD, and their Sin Offering before the LORD, for their ignorance.
26 ‘Then all the Congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who dwells among them. For all the people were in ignorance.
27 ‘But if any one person sins through ignorance, then he shall bring a female goat of a year old for a Sin Offering.
28 ‘And the Priest shall make an atonement for the ignorant person, when he sins by ignorance before the LORD, to make reconciliation for him. And it shall be forgiven him.
29 ‘He who is born among the children of Israel, and the stranger who dwells among them, shall both have one Law, whoever sins by ignorance.
30 ‘But the person who does anything treacherously, whether he is born in the land or a stranger, the same blasphemes the LORD. Therefore, that person shall be cut off from among his people,
31 ‘because he has despised the Word of the LORD and has broken His Commandment. That person shall be utterly cut off. His iniquity shall be upon him.’”
32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man who gathered sticks upon the Sabbath Day.
33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and to Aaron and to all the Congregation.
34 And they put him in prison, for it was not declared what should be done to him.
35 Then the LORD said to Moses, “This man shall die the death. And let all the multitude stone him with stones outside the camp.”
36 And all the Congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones. And he died, as the LORD had Commanded Moses.
37 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
38 “Speak to the children of Israel and tell them to make themselves fringes upon the borders of their garments throughout their generations. And put a ribbon of blue silk upon the fringes of the borders.
39 “And you shall have the fringes so that when you look upon them you may remember all the Commandments of the LORD and do them; and that you will not seek after your own heart or after your own eyes, after which you fornicate.
40 “So that you may remember and do all My Commandments 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.”

Supplementary Offerings
15 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘After you enter the land I am giving you(A) as a home 3 and you present to the Lord food offerings from the herd or the flock,(B) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord(C)—whether burnt offerings(D) or sacrifices, for special vows or freewill offerings(E) or festival offerings(F)— 4 then the person who brings an offering shall present to the Lord a grain offering(G) of a tenth of an ephah[a] of the finest flour(H) mixed with a quarter of a hin[b] of olive oil. 5 With each lamb(I) for the burnt offering or the sacrifice, prepare a quarter of a hin of wine(J) as a drink offering.(K)
6 “‘With a ram(L) prepare a grain offering(M) of two-tenths of an ephah[c](N) of the finest flour mixed with a third of a hin[d] of olive oil,(O) 7 and a third of a hin of wine(P) as a drink offering.(Q) Offer it as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(R)
8 “‘When you prepare a young bull(S) as a burnt offering or sacrifice, for a special vow(T) or a fellowship offering(U) to the Lord, 9 bring with the bull a grain offering(V) of three-tenths of an ephah[e](W) of the finest flour mixed with half a hin[f] of olive oil, 10 and also bring half a hin of wine(X) as a drink offering.(Y) This will be a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(Z) 11 Each bull or ram, each lamb or young goat, is to be prepared in this manner. 12 Do this for each one, for as many as you prepare.(AA)
13 “‘Everyone who is native-born(AB) must do these things in this way when they present a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(AC) 14 For the generations to come,(AD) whenever a foreigner(AE) or anyone else living among you presents a food(AF) offering(AG) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord, they must do exactly as you do. 15 The community is to have the same rules for you and for the foreigner residing among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.(AH) You and the foreigner shall be the same before the Lord: 16 The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing among you.(AI)’”
17 The Lord said to Moses, 18 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land to which I am taking you(AJ) 19 and you eat the food of the land,(AK) present a portion as an offering to the Lord.(AL) 20 Present a loaf from the first of your ground meal(AM) and present it as an offering from the threshing floor.(AN) 21 Throughout the generations to come(AO) you are to give this offering to the Lord from the first of your ground meal.(AP)
Offerings for Unintentional Sins
22 “‘Now if you as a community unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the Lord gave Moses(AQ)— 23 any of the Lord’s commands to you through him, from the day the Lord gave them and continuing through the generations to come(AR)— 24 and if this is done unintentionally(AS) without the community being aware of it,(AT) then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering(AU) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord,(AV) along with its prescribed grain offering(AW) and drink offering,(AX) and a male goat for a sin offering.[g](AY) 25 The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven,(AZ) for it was not intentional(BA) and they have presented to the Lord for their wrong a food offering(BB) and a sin offering.(BC) 26 The whole Israelite community and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong.(BD)
27 “‘But if just one person sins unintentionally,(BE) that person must bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering.(BF) 28 The priest is to make atonement(BG) before the Lord for the one who erred by sinning unintentionally, and when atonement has been made, that person will be forgiven.(BH) 29 One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.(BI)
30 “‘But anyone who sins defiantly,(BJ) whether native-born or foreigner,(BK) blasphemes the Lord(BL) and must be cut off from the people of Israel.(BM) 31 Because they have despised(BN) the Lord’s word and broken his commands,(BO) they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.(BP)’”
The Sabbath-Breaker Put to Death
32 While the Israelites were in the wilderness,(BQ) a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.(BR) 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, 34 and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him.(BS) 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must die.(BT) The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.(BU)” 36 So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him(BV) to death,(BW) as the Lord commanded Moses.(BX)
Tassels on Garments
37 The Lord said to Moses, 38 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Throughout the generations to come(BY) you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments,(BZ) with a blue cord on each tassel. 39 You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember(CA) all the commands of the Lord, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves(CB) by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts(CC) and eyes. 40 Then you will remember to obey all my commands(CD) and will be consecrated to your God.(CE) 41 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God.(CF) I am the Lord your God.(CG)’”
