15Verse 1Then the LORD said to Moses,Verse 2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land that I am giving you as a homeVerse 3and you present a food offering to the LORD from the herd or flock to produce a soothing aroma to the LORD—either an ascension offering or a sacrifice, for a special vow or freewill offering or appointed feast—Verse 4then 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 olive oil.+Verse 5With the ascension offering or sacrifice of each lamb, you are to prepare a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering.Verse 6With 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 olive oil,+Verse 7and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a soothing aroma to the LORD.Verse 8When you prepare a young bull as an ascension offering or sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a well-being offering to the LORD,Verse 9present with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour+mixed with half a hin of olive oil.+Verse 10Also present half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It is a food offering, a soothing aroma to the LORD.Verse 11This is to be done for each bull, ram, lamb, or goat.Verse 12This is how you must prepare each one, no matter how many.Verse 13Everyone who is native-born shall prepare these things in this way when he presents a food offering as a soothing aroma to the LORD.Verse 14And for the generations to come, if a foreigner residing with you or someone else among you wants to prepare a food offering as a soothing aroma to the LORD, he is to do exactly as you do.Verse 15The assembly is to have the same statute both for you and for the foreign resident; it is a permanent statute for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the LORD.Verse 16The same law and the same ordinance will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing with you.”Verse 17Then the LORD said to Moses,Verse 18“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing youVerse 19and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.Verse 20From 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.Verse 21Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.
Offerings for Unintentional Sins
Verse 22Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses—Verse 23all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come—Verse 24and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, then the whole congregation is to prepare one young bull as an ascension offering, a soothing aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a purification offering.Verse 25The priest is to effect purgation for the whole congregation of Israel, so that they may be forgiven; for the sin was unintentional and they have brought to the LORD a food offering and a purification offering, presented before the LORD for their unintentional sin.Verse 26Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.Verse 27Also, if one person sins unintentionally, he is to present a year-old female goat as a purification offering.Verse 28And the priest shall effect purgation before the LORD on behalf of the person who erred by sinning unintentionally; and when purgation has been effected for him, he will be forgiven.Verse 29You shall have the same law for the one who acts in error, whether he is a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.Verse 30But the person who sins defiantly,+whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person shall be cut off from among his people.Verse 31He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.”
A Sabbath-Breaker Stoned
Verse 32While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.Verse 33Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation,Verse 34and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody.Verse 35And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.”Verse 36So the whole congregation took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
The Law of Tassels
Verse 37And the LORD said to Moses,Verse 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.Verse 39These 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.Verse 40Then you will remember and obey all My commandments, and you will be holy to your God.Verse 41I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.”
