Numbers 15
New American Standard Bible 1995
Laws for Canaan
15 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “(A)Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land [a]where you are to live, which I am giving you, 3 then make (B)an offering by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to [b](C)fulfill a special vow, or as a freewill offering or in your (D)appointed times, to make a (E)soothing aroma to the Lord, from the herd or from the flock. 4 (F)The one who presents his offering shall present to the Lord a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a [c]hin of oil, 5 and you shall prepare wine for the drink offering, one-fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for (G)each lamb. 6 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 for the drink offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a soothing aroma to the Lord. 8 When you prepare (H)a bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to [d]fulfill a special vow, or for peace offerings to the Lord, 9 then you shall offer with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-half a hin of oil; 10 and you shall offer as the drink offering one-half a hin of wine as an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the Lord.
11 ‘Thus it shall be done for each ox, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the goats. 12 According to the number that you prepare, so you shall do for everyone according to their number. 13 All who are native shall do these things in this manner, in presenting an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the Lord.
Law of the Sojourner
14 If an alien sojourns with you, or one who may be among you throughout your generations, and he wishes to make an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the Lord, just as you do so he shall do. 15 As for the assembly, there shall be (I)one statute for you and for the alien who sojourns with you, a perpetual statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the alien be before the Lord. 16 There is to be (J)one law and one ordinance for you and for the alien who sojourns with you.’”
17 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land where I bring you, 19 then it shall be, that when you eat of the [e](K)food of the land, you shall lift up [f]an offering to the Lord. 20 (L)Of the first of your [g]dough you shall lift up a cake as an [h]offering; as (M)the [i]offering of the threshing floor, so you shall lift it up. 21 From the first of your [j]dough you shall give to the Lord an [k]offering throughout your generations.
22 ‘But when you (N)unwittingly fail and do not observe all these commandments, which the Lord has spoken to Moses, 23 even all that the Lord has commanded you [l]through Moses, from the day when the Lord gave commandment and onward throughout your generations, 24 then it shall be, if it is done (O)unintentionally, [m]without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one bull for a burnt offering, as a soothing aroma to the Lord, (P)with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering. 25 Then (Q)the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they will be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their error. 26 So all the congregation of the sons of Israel will be forgiven, with the alien who sojourns among them, for it happened to all the people through (R)error.
27 ‘Also if one person sins (S)unintentionally, then he shall offer a one year old female goat for a sin offering. 28 (T)The priest shall make atonement before the Lord for the person who goes astray when he sins unintentionally, making atonement for him [n]that he may be forgiven. 29 You shall have one law for him who does anything unintentionally, for him who is native among the sons of Israel and for the alien who sojourns among them. 30 But the person who does anything (U)defiantly, whether he is native or an alien, that one is blaspheming the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from among his people. 31 Because he has (V)despised the word of the Lord and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; (W)his [o]guilt will be on him.’”
Sabbath-breaking Punished
32 Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man (X)gathering wood on the sabbath day. 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation; 34 and they put him in [p]custody (Y)because it had not been [q]declared what should be done to him. 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man shall surely be put to death; (Z)all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him [r]to death with stones, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
37 The Lord also spoke to Moses, saying, 38 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and tell them that they shall make for themselves (AA)tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put on the tassel of each corner a cord of blue. 39 It shall be a tassel for you [s]to look at and (AB)remember all the commandments of the Lord, so as to do them and not [t]follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot, 40 so that you may remember to do all My commandments and (AC)be holy to your God. 41 I am the Lord your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the Lord your God.”

Leyes sobre varias ofrendas
15 Y el Señor habló a Moisés, diciendo: 2 Habla a los hijos de Israel(A), y diles: «Cuando entréis en la tierra que yo os doy por morada[a], 3 y presentéis[b], de vacas o de ovejas, una ofrenda(B) encendida al Señor en holocausto o sacrificio para cumplir un voto especial[c](C), o como ofrenda voluntaria, o para ofrecer[d] en vuestras fiestas señaladas(D) aroma agradable al Señor(E), 4 entonces el que presente su ofrenda(F), traerá al Señor una ofrenda de cereal de una décima de un efa[e] de flor de harina mezclada con un cuarto de un hin[f] de aceite. 5 Tú prepararás vino para la libación, un cuarto de un hin con el holocausto o para el sacrificio, por cada cordero(G). 6 O por un carnero prepararás como ofrenda de cereal dos décimas de un efa de flor de harina mezclada con la tercera parte de un hin de aceite; 7 y para la libación ofrecerás la tercera parte de un hin de vino, como aroma suave al Señor. 8 Y cuando prepares un novillo(H), como holocausto o sacrificio para cumplir un voto especial[g], o para las ofrendas de paz al Señor, 9 entonces ofrecerás con el novillo una ofrenda de cereal de tres décimas de un efa de flor de harina mezclada con la mitad de un hin de aceite; 10 y ofrecerás como libación medio hin de vino como ofrenda encendida, como aroma agradable al Señor.
11 »Así se hará con cada buey, o con cada carnero, o con cada uno de los corderos o de las cabras. 12 Según el número que preparéis, así haréis con cada uno conforme a su número. 13 Todo nativo hará estas cosas en esta forma al presentar una ofrenda encendida, como aroma agradable al Señor. 14 Y si un extranjero[h] reside con vosotros, o uno que esté entre vosotros por vuestras generaciones, y desea presentar[i] una ofrenda encendida como aroma agradable al Señor, como lo hacéis vosotros, así lo hará él. 15 En cuanto a la asamblea, un estatuto habrá para vosotros y para el extranjero que reside con vosotros(I), un estatuto perpetuo por vuestras generaciones; como vosotros sois, así será el extranjero delante del Señor. 16 Una sola ley habrá, una sola ordenanza, para vosotros y para el extranjero que reside con vosotros(J)».
17 Después el Señor habló a Moisés, diciendo: 18 Habla a los hijos de Israel, y diles: «Cuando entréis en la tierra adonde os llevo, 19 será que cuando comáis de la comida[j] de la tierra(K), elevaréis una ofrenda[k] al Señor. 20 De las primicias de vuestra masa[l] elevaréis una torta como ofrenda[m](L); como la ofrenda[n] de la era(M), así la elevaréis. 21 De las primicias de vuestra masa[o] daréis al Señor una ofrenda[p] por vuestras generaciones.
22 »Pero cuando erréis(N) y no observéis todos estos mandamientos que el Señor ha hablado a Moisés, 23 todo lo que el Señor os ha mandado por medio[q] de Moisés, desde el día en que el Señor dio mandamiento, en el futuro, por todas vuestras generaciones, 24 entonces sucederá que si se hizo inadvertidamente(O), sin el conocimiento de la congregación[r], toda la congregación ofrecerá un novillo como holocausto, como aroma agradable al Señor, con su ofrenda de cereal y su libación(P), según la ordenanza, y un macho cabrío como ofrenda por el pecado. 25 Entonces el sacerdote hará expiación(Q) por toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, y serán perdonados, pues fue un error. Cuando presenten su ofrenda, una ofrenda encendida al Señor, y su ofrenda por el pecado delante del Señor por su error, 26 será perdonada toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, y el extranjero que reside entre ellos, pues sucedió a todo el pueblo por error(R).
27 »También, si una persona peca inadvertidamente, ofrecerá una cabra de un año como ofrenda por el pecado(S). 28 Y el sacerdote hará expiación delante del Señor por la persona que ha cometido error, cuando peca inadvertidamente, haciendo expiación por él, y será[s] perdonado(T). 29 Para el que es nativo entre los hijos de Israel y para el extranjero que reside entre ellos, tendréis una sola ley para el que haga algo inadvertidamente. 30 Pero aquel[t] que obre con desafío[u](U), ya sea nativo o extranjero, ese blasfema contra el Señor, y esa persona[v] será cortada de entre su pueblo. 31 Porque ha menospreciado la palabra del Señor(V), y ha quebrantado su mandamiento, esa persona será enteramente cortada; su culpa[w] caerá sobre ella(W)».
32 Cuando los hijos de Israel estaban en el desierto, encontraron a un hombre que recogía leña en el día de reposo(X). 33 Los que lo encontraron recogiendo leña, lo llevaron a Moisés y a Aarón y a toda la congregación; 34 y lo pusieron bajo custodia, porque no se había aclarado[x] qué debería hacerse(Y) con él. 35 Entonces el Señor dijo a Moisés: Ciertamente al hombre se le dará muerte; toda la congregación lo apedreará[y](Z) fuera del campamento. 36 Y toda la congregación lo sacó fuera del campamento y lo apedrearon[z], y murió, tal como el Señor había ordenado a Moisés.
37 También habló el Señor a Moisés, diciendo: 38 Habla a los hijos de Israel y diles que se hagan flecos en los bordes de sus vestidos(AA), por sus generaciones, y que pongan en el fleco de cada borde un cordón azul[aa]. 39 Y os servirá el fleco, para que cuando lo veáis os acordéis de todos los mandamientos del Señor(AB), a fin de que los cumpláis y no sigáis[ab] vuestro corazón ni[ac] vuestros ojos, tras los cuales os habéis prostituido, 40 para que os acordéis de cumplir todos mis mandamientos y seáis santos a vuestro Dios(AC). 41 Yo soy el Señor vuestro Dios que os saqué de la tierra de Egipto para ser vuestro Dios. Yo soy el Señor vuestro Dios.

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.”
