Numbers 15
Complete Jewish Bible
15 Adonai said to Moshe, 2 “Tell the people of Isra’el, ‘When you have come into the land where you are going to live, which I am giving to you, 3 and want to make an offering by fire to Adonai — a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a special vow, or to be a voluntary offering, or at your designated times, to make a fragrant aroma for Adonai — then, whether it is comes from the herd or from the flock, 4 the person bringing the offering is to present Adonai with a grain offering consisting of two quarts of fine flour mixed with one quart of olive oil, 5 and one quart of wine for the drink offering. This is what you are to prepare with the burnt offering or for each lamb sacrificed.
6 “‘For a ram, prepare one gallon of fine flour mixed with one-and-one-third quarts of olive oil; 7 while for the drink offering, you are to present one-and-one-third quarts of wine as a fragrant aroma for Adonai.
(v) 8 “‘When you prepare a bull as a burnt offering, as a sacrifice to fulfill a special vow or as peace offerings for Adonai, 9 there is to be presented with the bull a grain offering of one-and-a-half gallons of fine flour mixed with two quarts of olive oil. 10 For the drink offering, present two quarts of wine for an offering made by fire, a fragant aroma for Adonai.
11 “‘Do it this way for each bull, ram, male lamb or kid. 12 For as many animals as you prepare, do this for each one, regardless of how many animals there are.
13 “‘Every citizen is to do these things in this way when presenting an offering made by fire as a fragrant aroma for Adonai. 14 If a foreigner stays with you — or whoever may be with you, through all your generations — and he wants to bring an offering made by fire as a fragrant aroma for Adonai, he is to do the same as you. 15 For this community there will be the same law for you as for the foreigner living with you; this is a permanent regulation through all your generations; the foreigner is to be treated the same way before Adonai as yourselves. 16 The same Torah and standard of judgment will apply to both you and the foreigner living with you.’”
(vi) 17 Adonai said to Moshe, 18 “Speak to the people of Isra’el; tell them, ‘When you enter the land where I am bringing you 19 and eat bread produced in the land, you are to set aside a portion as a gift for Adonai. 20 Set aside from your first dough a cake as a gift; set it aside as you would set aside a portion of the grain from the threshing-floor. 21 From your first dough you will give Adonai a portion as a gift through all your generations.
22 “‘If by mistake you fail to observe all these mitzvot that Adonai has spoken to Moshe, 23 yes, everything that Adonai has ordered you to do through Moshe, from the day Adonai gave the order and onward through all your generations, 24 then, if it was done by mistake by the community and was not known to them, the whole community is to offer one young bull for a burnt offering as a fragrant aroma to Adonai, with its grain and drink offerings, in keeping with the rule, and one male goat as a sin offering. 25 The cohen is to make atonement for the whole community of the people of Isra’el; and they will be forgiven; because it was a mistake; and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire, to Adonai, and their sin offering before Adonai for their mistake. 26 The whole community of the people of Isra’el will be forgiven, likewise the foreigner staying with them; because for all the people it was a mistake.
(vii) 27 “‘If an individual sins by mistake, he is to offer a female goat in its first year as a sin offering. 28 The cohen will make atonement before Adonai for the person who makes a mistake by sinning inadvertently; he will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven — 29 no matter whether he is a citizen of Isra’el or a foreigner living with them. You are to have one law for whoever it is that does something wrong by mistake.
30 “‘But an individual who does something wrong intentionally, whether a citizen or a foreigner, is blaspheming Adonai. That person will be cut off from his people. 31 Because he has had contempt for the word of Adonai and has disobeyed his command, that person will be cut off completely; his offense will remain with him.’”
32 While the people of Isra’el were in the desert, they found a man gathering wood on Shabbat. 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moshe, Aharon and the whole congregation. 34 They kept him in custody, because it had not yet been decided what to do to him. 35 Then Adonai said to Moshe, “This man must be put to death; the entire community is to stone him to death outside the camp.” 36 So the whole community brought him outside the camp and threw stones at him until he died, as Adonai had ordered Moshe.
(Maftir) 37 Adonai said to Moshe, 38 “Speak to the people of Isra’el, instructing them to make, through all their generations, tzitziyot on the corners of their garments, and to put with the tzitzit on each corner a blue thread. 39 It is to be a tzitzit for you to look at and thereby remember all of Adonai’s mitzvot and obey them, so that you won’t go around wherever your own heart and eyes lead you to prostitute yourselves; 40 but it will help you remember and obey all my mitzvot and be holy for your God. 41 I am Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt in order to be your God. I am Adonai your God.”

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.
Números 15
Reina-Valera 1960
Leyes sobre las ofrendas
15 Jehová habló a Moisés, diciendo: 2 Habla a los hijos de Israel, y diles: Cuando hayáis entrado en la tierra de vuestra habitación que yo os doy, 3 y hagáis ofrenda encendida a Jehová, holocausto, o sacrificio, por especial voto, o de vuestra voluntad, o para ofrecer en vuestras fiestas solemnes olor grato a Jehová, de vacas o de ovejas; 4 entonces el que presente su ofrenda a Jehová traerá como ofrenda la décima parte de un efa de flor de harina, amasada con la cuarta parte de un hin de aceite. 5 De vino para la libación ofrecerás la cuarta parte de un hin, además del holocausto o del sacrificio, por cada cordero. 6 Por cada carnero harás ofrenda de dos décimas de flor de harina, amasada con la tercera parte de un hin de aceite; 7 y de vino para la libación ofrecerás la tercera parte de un hin, en olor grato a Jehová. 8 Cuando ofrecieres novillo en holocausto o sacrificio, por especial voto, o de paz a Jehová, 9 ofrecerás con el novillo una ofrenda de tres décimas de flor de harina, amasada con la mitad de un hin de aceite; 10 y de vino para la libación ofrecerás la mitad de un hin, en ofrenda encendida de olor grato a Jehová.
11 Así se hará con cada buey, o carnero, o cordero de las ovejas, o cabrito. 12 Conforme al número así haréis con cada uno, según el número de ellos. 13 Todo natural hará estas cosas así, para ofrecer ofrenda encendida de olor grato a Jehová. 14 Y cuando habitare con vosotros extranjero, o cualquiera que estuviere entre vosotros por vuestras generaciones, si hiciere ofrenda encendida de olor grato a Jehová, como vosotros hiciereis, así hará él. 15 Un mismo estatuto tendréis vosotros de la congregación y el extranjero que con vosotros mora; será estatuto perpetuo por vuestras generaciones; como vosotros, así será el extranjero delante de Jehová. 16 Una misma ley y un mismo decreto tendréis, vosotros y el extranjero que con vosotros mora.(A)
17 También habló Jehová a Moisés, diciendo: 18 Habla a los hijos de Israel, y diles: Cuando hayáis entrado en la tierra a la cual yo os llevo, 19 cuando comencéis a comer del pan de la tierra, ofreceréis ofrenda a Jehová. 20 De lo primero que amaséis, ofreceréis una torta en ofrenda; como la ofrenda de la era, así la ofreceréis. 21 De las primicias de vuestra masa daréis a Jehová ofrenda por vuestras generaciones. 22 Y cuando errareis, y no hiciereis todos estos mandamientos que Jehová ha dicho a Moisés, 23 todas las cosas que Jehová os ha mandado por medio de Moisés, desde el día que Jehová lo mandó, y en adelante por vuestras edades, 24 si el pecado fue hecho por yerro con ignorancia de la congregación, toda la congregación ofrecerá un novillo por holocausto en olor grato a Jehová, con su ofrenda y su libación conforme a la ley, y un macho cabrío en expiación. 25 Y el sacerdote hará expiación por toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel; y les será perdonado, porque yerro es; y ellos traerán sus ofrendas, ofrenda encendida a Jehová, y sus expiaciones delante de Jehová por sus yerros. 26 Y será perdonado a toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, y al extranjero que mora entre ellos, por cuanto es yerro de todo el pueblo.
27 Si una persona pecare por yerro, ofrecerá una cabra de un año para expiación. 28 Y el sacerdote hará expiación por la persona que haya pecado por yerro; cuando pecare por yerro delante de Jehová, la reconciliará, y le será perdonado.(B) 29 El nacido entre los hijos de Israel, y el extranjero que habitare entre ellos, una misma ley tendréis para el que hiciere algo por yerro. 30 Mas la persona que hiciere algo con soberbia, así el natural como el extranjero, ultraja a Jehová; esa persona será cortada de en medio de su pueblo. 31 Por cuanto tuvo en poco la palabra de Jehová, y menospreció su mandamiento, enteramente será cortada esa persona; su iniquidad caerá sobre ella.
Lapidación de un violador del día de reposo
32 Estando los hijos de Israel en el desierto, hallaron a un hombre que recogía leña en día de reposo.[a] 33 Y los que le hallaron recogiendo leña, lo trajeron a Moisés y a Aarón, y a toda la congregación; 34 y lo pusieron en la cárcel, porque no estaba declarado qué se le había de hacer. 35 Y Jehová dijo a Moisés: Irremisiblemente muera aquel hombre; apedréelo toda la congregación fuera del campamento. 36 Entonces lo sacó la congregación fuera del campamento, y lo apedrearon, y murió, como Jehová mandó a Moisés.
Franjas en los vestidos
37 Y Jehová habló a Moisés, diciendo: 38 Habla a los hijos de Israel, y diles que se hagan franjas en los bordes de sus vestidos,(C) por sus generaciones; y pongan en cada franja de los bordes un cordón de azul. 39 Y os servirá de franja, para que cuando lo veáis os acordéis de todos los mandamientos de Jehová, para ponerlos por obra; y no miréis en pos de vuestro corazón y de vuestros ojos, en pos de los cuales os prostituyáis. 40 Para que os acordéis, y hagáis todos mis mandamientos, y seáis santos a vuestro Dios. 41 Yo Jehová vuestro Dios, que os saqué de la tierra de Egipto, para ser vuestro Dios. Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
