Numbers 15:10-20

10 Also present two quarts^[a] of wine as a drink offering. It is a fire offering of pleasing aroma to the Lord.

11 This is to be done for each ox, ram, lamb, or goat.

12 This is how you must prepare each of them, no matter how many.

13 "Every Israelite is to prepare these things in this way when he presents a fire 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 fire 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^[b] both you and the foreign resident as a permanent statute throughout your generations. 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."^[c]

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^[d] as a contribution; offer it just like a contribution from the threshing floor.^[e]

INTRODUCTION TO NUMBERS 15

In this chapter the children of Israel are instructed about the meat offerings and drink offerings, and the quantities of them, which were always to go along with their burnt offerings and peace offerings they should offer when they came into the land of Canaan, Nu 15:1-12; and they are told that the same laws and ordinances would be binding equally on them that were of the country, and on the strangers in it, Nu 15:13-16; and an order is given them to offer a cake of the first dough for an heave offering, Nu 15:17-21; and they are directed what sacrifices to offer for sins of ignorance, both of the congregation and particular persons, Nu 14:22-29; but as for presumptuous sinners, they were to be cut off, Nu 14:30,31; and an instance is recorded of stoning a sabbath breaker, Nu 14:32-36; and the chapter is concluded with a law for wearing fringes on the borders of their garments, the use of which is expressed, Nu 14:35-41.
