Numbers 15

New Living Translation NLT

1 Then the LORD told Moses,

2 “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. “When you finally settle in the land I am giving you,

3 you will offer special gifts as a pleasing aroma to the LORD . These gifts may take the form of a burnt offering, a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, a voluntary offering, or an offering at any of your annual festivals, and they may be taken from your herds of cattle or your flocks of sheep and goats.

4 When you present these offerings, you must also give the LORD a grain offering of two quarts of choice flour mixed with one quart of olive oil.

5 For each lamb offered as a burnt offering or a special sacrifice, you must also present one quart of wine as a liquid offering.

6 “If the sacrifice is a ram, give a grain offering of four quarts of choice flour mixed with a third of a gallon of olive oil,

7 and give a third of a gallon of wine as a liquid offering. This will be a pleasing aroma to the LORD .

8 “When you present a young bull as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the LORD,

9 you must also give a grain offering of six quarts of choice flour mixed with two quarts of olive oil,

10 and give two quarts of wine as a liquid offering. This will be a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD .

11 “Each sacrifice of a bull, ram, lamb, or young goat should be prepared in this way.

12 Follow these instructions with each offering you present.

13 All of you native-born Israelites must follow these instructions when you offer a special gift as a pleasing aroma to the LORD .

14 And if any foreigners visit you or live among you and want to present a special gift as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, they must follow these same procedures.

15 Native-born Israelites and foreigners are equal before the LORD and are subject to the same decrees. This is a permanent law for you, to be observed from generation to generation.

16 The same instructions and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigners living among you.”

17 Then the LORD said to Moses,

18 “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. “When you arrive in the land where I am taking you,

19 and you eat the crops that grow there, you must set some aside as a sacred offering to the LORD .

20 Present a cake from the first of the flour you grind, and set it aside as a sacred offering, as you do with the first grain from the threshing floor.

21 Throughout the generations to come, you are to present a sacred offering to the LORD each year from the first of your ground flour.

22 “But suppose you unintentionally fail to carry out all these commands that the LORD has given you through Moses.

23 And suppose your descendants in the future fail to do everything the LORD has commanded through Moses.

24 If the mistake was made unintentionally, and the community was unaware of it, the whole community must present a young bull for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD . It must be offered along with its prescribed grain offering and liquid offering and with one male goat for a sin offering.

25 With it the priest will purify the whole community of Israel, making them right with the LORD, and they will be forgiven. For it was an unintentional sin, and they have corrected it with their offerings to the LORD —the special gift and the sin offering.

26 The whole community of Israel will be forgiven, including the foreigners living among you, for all the people were involved in the sin.

27 “If one individual commits an unintentional sin, the guilty person must bring a one-year-old female goat for a sin offering.

28 The priest will sacrifice it to purify the guilty person before the LORD, and that person will be forgiven.

29 These same instructions apply both to native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you.

30 “But those who brazenly violate the LORD ’s will, whether native-born Israelites or foreigners, have blasphemed the LORD, and they must be cut off from the community.

31 Since they have treated the LORD ’s word with contempt and deliberately disobeyed his command, they must be completely cut off and suffer the punishment for their guilt.”

32 One day while the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they discovered a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day.

33 The people who found him doing this took him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the community.

34 They held him in custody because they did not know what to do with him.

35 Then the LORD said to Moses, “The man must be put to death! The whole community must stone him outside the camp.”

36 So the whole community took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

37 Then the LORD said to Moses,

38 “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: Throughout the generations to come you must make tassels for the hems of your clothing and attach them with a blue cord.

39 When you see the tassels, you will remember and obey all the commands of the LORD instead of following your own desires and defiling yourselves, as you are prone to do.

40 The tassels will help you remember that you must 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 that I might be your God. I am the LORD your God!”

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses:

2 "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them, When you enter your homeland that I am giving to you

3 and sacrifice a Fire-Gift to God, a Whole-Burnt-Offering or any sacrifice from the herd or flock for a Vow-Offering or Freewill-Offering at one of the appointed feasts, as a pleasing fragrance for God,

4 the one bringing the offering shall present to God a Grain-Offering of two quarts of fine flour mixed with a quart of oil.

5 With each lamb for the Whole-Burnt-Offering or other sacrifice, prepare a quart of oil and a quart of wine as a Drink-Offering.

6 "For a ram prepare a Grain-Offering of four quarts of fine flour mixed with one and a quarter quarts of oil

7 and one and a quarter quarts of wine as a Drink-Offering. Present it as a pleasing fragrance to God.

8 "When you prepare a young bull as a Whole-Burnt-Offering or sacrifice for a special vow or a Peace-Offering to God,

9 bring with the bull a Grain-Offering of six quarts of fine flour and two quarts of oil.

10 Also bring two quarts of wine as a Drink-Offering. It will be a Fire-Gift, a pleasing fragrance to God.

11 "Each bull or ram, each lamb or young goat, is to be prepared in this same way.

12 Carry out this procedure for each one, no matter how many you have to prepare.

13 "Every native-born Israelite is to follow this procedure when he brings a Fire-Gift as a pleasing fragrance to God.

14 In future generations, when a foreigner or visitor living at length among you presents a Fire-Gift as a pleasing fragrance to God, the same procedures must be followed.

15 The community has the same rules for you and the foreigner living among you. This is the regular rule for future generations. You and the foreigner are the same before God.

16 The same laws and regulations apply to both you and the foreigner who lives with you."

17 God spoke to Moses:

18 "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them, When you enter the land into which I'm bringing you,

19 and you eat the food of that country, set some aside as an offering for God.

20 From the first batch of bread dough make a round loaf for an offering - an offering from the threshing floor.

21 Down through the future generations make this offering to God from each first batch of dough.

22 "But if you should get off the beaten track and not keep the commands which God spoke to Moses,

23 any of the things that God commanded you under the authority of Moses from the time that God first commanded you right up to this present time,

24 and if it happened more or less by mistake, with the congregation unaware of it, then the whole congregation is to sacrifice one young bull as a Whole-Burnt-Offering, a pleasing fragrance to God, accompanied by its Grain-Offering and Drink-Offering as stipulated in the rules, and a he-goat as an Absolution-Offering.

25 The priest is to atone for the entire community of the People of Israel and they will stand forgiven. The sin was not deliberate, and they offered to God the Fire-Gift and Absolution-Offering for their inadvertence.

26 The whole community of Israel including the foreigners living there will be absolved, because everyone was involved in the error.

27 "But if it's just one person who sins by mistake, not realizing what he's doing, he is to bring a yearling she-goat as an Absolution-Offering.

28 The priest then is to atone for the person who accidentally sinned, to make atonement before God so that it won't be held against him.

29 "The same standard holds for everyone who sins by mistake; the native-born Israelites and the foreigners go by the same rules.

30 "But the person, native or foreigner, who sins defiantly, deliberately blaspheming God, must be cut off from his people:

31 He has despised God's word, he has violated God's command; that person must be kicked out of the community, ostracized, left alone in his wrongdoing."

32 Once, during those wilderness years of the People of Israel, a man was caught gathering wood on the Sabbath.

33 The ones who caught him hauled him before Moses and Aaron and the entire congregation.

34 They put him in custody until it became clear what to do with him.

35 Then God spoke to Moses: "Give the man the death penalty. Yes, kill him, the whole community hurling stones at him outside the camp."

36 So the whole community took him outside the camp and threw stones at him, an execution commanded by God and given through Moses.

37 God spoke to Moses:

38 "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them that from now on they are to make tassels on the corners of their garments and to mark each corner tassel with a blue thread.

39 When you look at these tassels you'll remember and keep all the commandments of God, and not get distracted by everything you feel or see that seduces you into infidelities.

40 The tassels will signal remembrance and observance of all my commandments, to live a holy life to God.

41 I am your God who rescued you from the land of Egypt to be your personal God. Yes, I am God, your God."
