Numbers 15

New Revised Standard NRS

1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving you,

3 and you make an offering by fire to the Lord from the herd or from the flock—whether a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or at your appointed festivals—to make a pleasing odor for the Lord,

4 then whoever presents such an offering to the Lord shall present also a grain offering, one-tenth of an ephah of choice flour, mixed with one-fourth of a hin of oil.

5 Moreover, you shall offer one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb.

6 For a ram, you shall offer a grain offering, two-tenths of an ephah of choice 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, a pleasing odor to the Lord.

8 When you offer a bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as an offering of well-being to the Lord,

9 then you shall present with the bull a grain offering, three-tenths of an ephah of choice flour, mixed with half a hin of oil,

10 and you shall present as a drink offering half a hin of wine, as an offering by fire, a pleasing odor to the Lord.

11 Thus it shall be done for each ox or ram, or for each of the male lambs or the kids.

12 According to the number that you offer, so you shall do with each and every one.

13 Every native Israelite shall do these things in this way, in presenting an offering by fire, a pleasing odor to the Lord.

14 An alien who lives with you, or who takes up permanent residence among you, and wishes to offer an offering by fire, a pleasing odor to the Lord, shall do as you do.

15 As for the assembly, there shall be for both you and the resident alien a single statute, a perpetual statute throughout your generations; you and the alien shall be alike before the Lord.

16 You and the alien who resides with you shall have the same law and the same ordinance.

17 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

18 Speak to the Israelites and say to them: After you come into the land to which I am bringing you,

19 whenever you eat of the bread of the land, you shall present a donation to the Lord.

20 From your first batch of dough you shall present a loaf as a donation; you shall present it just as you present a donation from the threshing floor.

21 Throughout your generations you shall give to the Lord a donation from the first of your batch of dough.

22 But if you unintentionally fail to observe all these commandments that the Lord has spoken to Moses—

23 everything that the Lord has commanded you by Moses, from the day the Lord gave commandment and thereafter, throughout your generations—

24 then if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, the whole congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, a pleasing odor to the Lord, together with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.

25 The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the Israelites, and they shall be forgiven; it was unintentional, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their error.

26 All the congregation of the Israelites shall be forgiven, as well as the aliens residing among them, because the whole people was involved in the error.

27 An individual who sins unintentionally shall present a female goat a year old for a sin offering.

28 And the priest shall make atonement before the Lord for the one who commits an error, when it is unintentional, to make atonement for the person, who then shall be forgiven.

29 For both the native among the Israelites and the alien residing among them—you shall have the same law for anyone who acts in error.

30 But whoever acts high-handedly, whether a native or an alien, affronts the Lord, and shall be cut off from among the people.

31 Because of having despised the word of the Lord and broken his commandment, such a person shall be utterly cut off and bear the guilt.

32 When the Israelites were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day.

33 Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses, Aaron, and to the whole congregation.

34 They put him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him.

35 Then the Lord said to Moses, "The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him outside the camp."

36 The whole congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

37 The Lord said to Moses:

38 Speak to the Israelites, and tell them to make fringes on the corners of their garments throughout their generations and to put a blue cord on the fringe at each corner.

39 You have the fringe so that, when you see it, you will remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them, and not follow the lust of your own heart and your own eyes.

40 So you shall remember and do all my commandments, and you shall 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.

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."
