GOD'S WORD Translation GW
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
1
The LORD said to Moses,
2 "Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them: `When ye have come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
2
"Speak to the Israelites and tell them: Once you're settled in the land I'm giving 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 savor unto the LORD of the herd or of the flock,
3
you may bring offerings by fire to the LORD. They may be burnt offerings or any other kind of sacrifice. They may be offered to fulfill a vow, as a freewill offering, or as one of your festival offerings. They may be cattle, sheep, or goats--offerings that are a soothing aroma to the LORD.
4 then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth part of flour mingled with a fourth part of a hin of oil.
4
Whoever brings the offering must also give the LORD a grain offering of eight cups of flour mixed with one quart of olive oil.
5 And a fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
5
With each sheep or goat for the burnt offering or any other sacrifice, also give an offering of one quart of wine.
6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenths part of flour mingled with a third part of a hin of oil.
6
"With a ram, give a grain offering of 16 cups of flour mixed with 1¼ quarts of oil
7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer a third part of a hin of wine for a sweet savor unto the LORD.
7
and an offering of 1¼ quarts of wine. Offer them as a soothing aroma to 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,
8
"Suppose you sacrifice a young bull as a burnt offering to the LORD or make any other kind of sacrifice--to keep a vow or as a fellowship offering.
9 then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenths part of flour mingled with half a hin of oil.
9
Offer with the young bull a grain offering of 24 cups of flour mixed with two quarts of olive oil.
10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half a hin of wine for an offering made by fire of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
10
Also give an offering of two quarts of wine. It is an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the LORD.
11 "`Thus shall it be done for one bullock or for one ram or for a lamb or a kid.
11
Do this for each bull, each ram, and each sheep or goat.
12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
12
Do it for each animal, however many you sacrifice.
13 All who are born of the country shall do these things in this manner in offering an offering made by fire of a sweet savor unto the LORD.
13
All native-born Israelites must do it this way when they bring an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to 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 savor unto the LORD, as ye do, so he shall do.
14
"Suppose foreigners are visiting you or living among you in future generations. If they bring an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the LORD, they must do as you do.
15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation and also for the stranger who sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations. As ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD:
15
There is one law for the whole assembly: for you and foreigners who are living with you. It is a permanent law for future generations. As far as the LORD is concerned, you and foreigners are the same.
16 one law and one manner shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourneth with you.'"
16
The instructions and rules are the same for you as well as foreigners who are living with you."
17 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
17
The LORD said to Moses,
18 "Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them: `When ye come into the land whither I bring you,
18
"Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land where I'm taking you
19 then it shall be that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave offering unto the LORD.
19
and eat any of the food from the land, give some of it as a contribution to the LORD.
20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for a heave offering; as ye do the heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall ye heave it.
20
Shape one part of your dough into a ring the same way you do with the contribution you make from the threshing floor.
21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD a heave offering in your generations.
21
For generations to come, you must give one part of your dough as a contribution to the LORD.
22 And if ye have erred and not observed all these commandments which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses--
22
"Suppose you unintentionally do something wrong by not obeying all these commands the LORD gave 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--
23
(Everything the LORD commanded you through Moses holds as true for generations to come as it did the day the LORD gave the commands.)
24 then it shall be, if aught 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 savor unto the LORD with his meat offering and his drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
24
If it was unintentional and no one else knows about it, the whole community must sacrifice a young bull as a burnt offering, a soothing aroma to the LORD, along with the proper grain and wine offerings, and a male goat as an offering for sin.
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.
25
The priest will make peace with the LORD for the whole community of Israel. Then they will be forgiven because the wrongdoing was unintentional and they brought these two offerings to the LORD for their sin: an offering by fire and an offering for sin.
26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel and the stranger who sojourneth among them, seeing all the people were in ignorance.
26
So the whole community of Israel will be forgiven, including foreigners who are living among them, since all the people were involved in the unintentional wrongdoing.
27 "`And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a shegoat of the first year for a sin offering.
27
"If one person unintentionally does something wrong, a one-year-old female goat must be sacrificed as an offering for sin.
28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul who sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
28
The priest will offer the sacrifice to make peace with the LORD for that person, and that person will be forgiven.
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 who sojourneth among them.
29
You must give the same instructions to everyone who does something wrong unintentionally, whether they are native-born Israelites or not.
30 But the soul who doeth aught 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.
30
"But any native-born Israelite or foreigner who deliberately does something wrong insults the LORD and must be excluded from the 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.'"
31
That person has despised the word of the LORD and broken the LORD's command. He must be excluded completely. He remains guilty."
32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man who gathered sticks upon the Sabbath day.
32
While the Israelites were in the desert, they found a man gathering wood on the day of worship.
33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron and unto all the congregation.
33
Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole community.
34 And they put him under guard, because it was not declared what should be done to him.
34
They kept him in custody until they decided what to do with him.
35 And the LORD said unto Moses, "The man shall be surely put to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp."
35
Then the LORD said to Moses, "This man must be put to death. The whole community must take him outside the camp and stone him."
36 And all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died, as the LORD commanded Moses.
36
So the whole community took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses.
37 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
37
The LORD said to Moses,
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 ribbon of blue.
38
"Speak to the Israelites and tell them: For generations to come they must wear tassels on the corners of their clothes with violet threads in each tassel.
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,
39
Whenever you look at the threads in the tassel, you will remember all the LORD's commands and obey them. Then you won't do whatever you want and go after whatever you see, as if you were chasing after prostitutes.
40 that ye may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy unto your God.
40
You will remember to obey all my commands, and you will 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."
41
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God."
