LEB - Numbers - 15

15:1  Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

15:2  “Speak to the ⌞Israelites⌟ and say to them, ‘When you come into the land of your dwellings that I am about to give to you,

15:3  you will make an offering by fire for Yahweh from the cattle or from the flock, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering or at your feasts, to make a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.

15:4  And the one who presents an offering for Yahweh, he will present a grain offering of finely milled flour; a tenth will be mixed with a fourth of the liquid measure of oil;

15:5  and you will add a fourth of wine for the libation upon the burnt offering, or to the sacrifice for each ram-lamb.

15:6  Or for the ram you will make a grain offering of two-tenths of finely milled flour mixed into a third of a liquid measure of oil.

15:7  You will present a third of the liquid measure of wine for the libation, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.

15:8  When you prepare ⌞a bull⌟ as a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow or a fellowship offering for Yahweh,

15:9  you will present with ⌞the bull⌟ a grain offering of three-tenths of finely milled flour mixed with half a liquid measure of oil,

15:10  and you will present half a liquid measure of wine as a libation, as an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.

15:11  “ ‘This is how it should be done for each bull, or for the each ram, or for the small four-footed mammal, or ram-lambs, or goats.

15:12  According to the number that you prepare, so should you do to each according to their number.

15:13  Every native must do these things to present an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.

15:14  If an alien dwells among you, or whoever is in your midst throughout your generations, and prepares an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, he should do as you do.

15:15  For the assembly, there will be one decree for you and for the alien who dwells among you; it is an eternal decree for all your generations. ⌞You as well as the alien⌟ will be ⌞before Yahweh⌟.

15:16  There will be one law and one stipulation for you and for the alien dwelling among you.’ ”

15:17  Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

15:18  “Speak to the ⌞Israelites⌟ and say to them, ‘When you come into the land to which I am about to bring you,

15:19  whenever you eat from the food of the land, you will lift up a contribution to Yahweh.

15:20  You must lift up a contribution of the first batch of your ring-shaped dough bread; you must lift it up as a contribution of the threshing floor.

15:21  You will give to Yahweh a contribution from the first of your dough throughout your generations.

15:22  “ ‘But if you go astray and you do not follow all these commandments that Yahweh commanded to Moses,

15:23  all that Yahweh commanded you by the hand of Moses from the day that Yahweh commanded and beyond, throughout your generations,

15:24  and if it was done unintentionally ⌞without the knowledge⌟ of the community, then the entire community must prepare one ⌞young bull⌟ as a burnt offering, as a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, and its grain offering and its libation, according to the stipulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

15:25  The priest will make atonement for all of the community of the ⌞Israelites⌟, and ⌞they will be forgiven⌟ because it was unintentional; they will bring their offering, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, their sin offering ⌞before Yahweh⌟ for their unintentional sin.

15:26  All of the community of the ⌞Israelites⌟ will be forgiven, as well as the alien that dwells in their midst, because the whole community was involved in the unintentional wrong.

15:27  “ ‘If one person sins unintentionally, that person will present a female goat ⌞in its first year⌟ as a sin offering.

15:28  And the priest will make atonement for the person who ⌞sinned unintentionally⌟ ⌞before Yahweh⌟, to make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

15:29  For the native among the ⌞Israelites⌟ and the alien that dwells in their midst, there will be one law for anyone who commits an unintentional wrong.

15:30  But the one ⌞who acts presumptuously⌟ from among the native or alien blasphemes against Yahweh, and that person must be cut off from the midst of the people.

15:31  Because he despised the word of Yahweh and broke his command, that person will be surely cut off and bear the guilt.’ ”

15:32  When the ⌞Israelites⌟ were in the desert, they found a man who was gathering wood on the day of the Sabbath.

15:33  The ones who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and to all the community.

15:34  And they put him under watch because it was not made clear what should be done to him.

15:35  And Yahweh said to Moses, “Surely the man must be put to death by stoning him; all the community must stone him with stones from outside the camp.”

15:36  So the entire community brought him out to a place outside the camp, and ⌞they stoned him to death⌟ just as Yahweh commanded Moses.

15:37  Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

15:38  “Speak to the ⌞Israelites⌟, and tell them to make for themselves tassels on the hems of their garments throughout their generations and to put a blue cord on the tassel of the hem.

15:39  You will have a tassel ⌞for you to look at⌟ and remember all the commands of Yahweh and do them, and not follow ⌞after the unfaithfulness of your own heart and eyes⌟,

15:40  so that you will remember and do all my commandments, and you will be holy for your God.

15:41  I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; I am Yahweh your God.”
