CHAPTER 15

1
Then the LORD
instructed
Moses,
2
“Speak
to
the Israelites
and tell them:
After
you enter
the land
I
am giving
you
to settle
3
and you present
an offering made by fire
to the LORD
from
the herd
or
flock
to produce
a pleasing
aroma
to the LORD—
either a burnt offering
or
a sacrifice
to fulfill
a vow
or
as a freewill
or
festival offering—
4
then the one presenting
his offering
to the LORD
shall also present
a grain offering
of a tenth of an ephah
of fine flour
mixed
with a quarter
hin
of oil.
5
With
the burnt offering
or
sacrifice
of each
lamb,
prepare
a quarter
hin
of wine
as a drink offering.
6
With a ram
you are to prepare
a grain offering
of two-tenths of an ephah
of fine flour
mixed
with a third
of a hin
of oil,
7
and
a third
of a hin
of wine
as a drink offering,
a pleasing
aroma
to the LORD.
8
When
you prepare
a young
bull
as a burnt offering
or
sacrifice
to fulfill
a vow
or
as a peace offering
to the LORD,
9
present
with
the bull
a grain offering
of three-tenths of an ephah
of fine flour
mixed
with half
a hin
of oil.
10
Also present
half
a hin
of wine
as a drink offering.
It is an offering made by fire,
a pleasing
aroma
to the LORD.
11
This
is to be done
for each
bull,
ram,
lamb,
or
goat.
12
This is how
you must prepare
each one,
no matter how
many.
13
Everyone
who is native-born
shall prepare
these
things in this way
when he presents
an offering made by fire
as a pleasing
aroma
to the LORD.
14
And for the generations to come,
if
a foreigner
residing
with
you or
someone else
among you
wants to prepare
an offering made by fire
as a pleasing
aroma
to the LORD,
he is to do
exactly as
you do.
15
The assembly
is to have the same
statute
for both you
and the foreign resident;
it is a permanent
statute
for the generations to come.
You and the foreigner
shall be
the same before
the LORD.
16
The same
law
and the same
ordinance
will apply
both to you
and the foreigner
residing
with you.”
17
Then the LORD
said
to Moses,
18
“Speak
to
the Israelites
and tell them:
When you enter
the land
to which
I
am bringing you
19
and you eat
the food
of the land,
you shall lift
up an offering
to the LORD.
20
From the first
of your dough,
you are to lift
up a cake
as a contribution;
offer
it
just like
an offering
from the threshing floor.
21
Throughout your generations,
you are to give
the LORD
an offering
from the first
of your dough.
22
Now if
you sin unintentionally
and do not
obey
all
these
commandments
that
the LORD
has spoken
to
Moses—
23
all
that
the LORD
has commanded
you through
Moses
from
the day
the LORD
gave them
and continuing through
the generations to come—
24
and if
it was done
unintentionally
without the knowledge
of the congregation,
then the whole
congregation
is to prepare
one
young bull
as a burnt offering,
a pleasing
aroma
to the LORD,
with its grain offering
and drink offering
according to the regulation,
and one
male goat
as a sin offering.
25
The priest
is to make atonement
for
the entire
congregation
of Israel,
so that they may be forgiven;
for
the sin
was unintentional,
and they
have brought
to the LORD
an offering
made by fire
and a sin offering,
presented before
the LORD
for
their unintentional sin.
26
The entire
congregation
of Israel
and the foreigners
residing
among them
will be forgiven,
since
it happened to all
the people
unintentionally.
27
Also, if
one
person
sins unintentionally,
he is to present
a year-old
female goat
as a sin offering.
28
And the priest
shall make atonement
before
the LORD
on behalf of
the person
who erred
by sinning unintentionally;
and when atonement has been made
for him,
he will be forgiven.
29
You
shall have
the same
law
for the one who acts
in error,
whether he is an Israelite
or a foreigner
residing
among you.
30
But the person
who
sins defiantly,
whether
a native
or
foreigner,
blasphemes
the LORD.
That
person
shall be cut off
from
his people.
31
He
shall certainly be cut off,
because
he has despised
the word
of the LORD
and
broken
His commandment;
his guilt remains on him.”
32
While the Israelites
were
in the wilderness,
a man
was found
gathering
wood
on the Sabbath
day.
33
Those who found
the man
gathering
wood
brought
him to
Moses,
Aaron,
and the entire
congregation,
34
and because
it had not been
declared
what
should be done
to
him,
they placed
him in custody.
35
And the LORD
said
to
Moses,
“The man
must surely be put to death.
The entire
congregation
is to stone
him
outside
the camp.”
36
So the whole
congregation
took
the man
outside
the camp
and stoned
him to death,
as
the LORD
had commanded
Moses.
37
Later, the LORD
said
to
Moses,
38
“Speak
to
the Israelites
and tell
them that
throughout the generations to come
they are to make
for themselves
tassels
for
the corners
of their garments,
with
a blue
cord
on
each tassel.
39
These will serve
as tassels
for you to look at,
so that you may remember
all
the commandments
of the LORD,
that you may obey
them
and not
prostitute yourselves
by following
your own heart
and your own eyes.
40
Then
you will remember
and obey
all
My commandments,
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.”
