The Fourth Book of Moses: Called Numbers, Chapter 15
|
1 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
|
2 |
Speak unto thechildren of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land
of your habitations, which I give unto 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 savour unto the LORD, of the herd or of the flock:
|
4 |
Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a
meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of
an hin of oil.
|
5 |
And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt
thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
|
6 |
Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth
deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
|
7 |
And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an
hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto 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:
|
9 |
Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth
deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
|
10 |
And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine,
for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
|
11 |
Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a
lamb, or a kid.
|
12 |
According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to
every one according to their number.
|
13 |
All that are born of the country shall do these things after
this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour
unto 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
savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
|
15 |
One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and
also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever
in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the
LORD.
|
16 |
One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger
that sojourneth with you.
|
17 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
|
18 |
Speak unto thechildren of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land
whither I bring you,
|
19 |
Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the
bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
|
20 |
Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave
offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall
ye heave it.
|
21 |
Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave
offering in your generations.
|
22 |
And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments,
which the LORD hath spoken unto 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;
|
24 |
Then
it shall be, if ought 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 savour unto the LORD, with
his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner,
and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
|
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:
|
26 |
And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the
children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them;
seeing all the people were in ignorance.
|
27 |
And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she
goat of the first year for a sin offering.
|
28 |
And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth
ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an
atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
|
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 that sojourneth among them.
|
30 |
But the soul that doeth ought 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.
|
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.
|
32 |
And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they
found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
|
33 |
And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses
and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
|
34 |
And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what
should be done to him.
|
35 |
And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to
death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the
camp.
|
36 |
And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and
stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
|
37 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
|
38 |
Speak unto thechildren 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 ribband of blue:
|
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:
|
40 |
That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and
be holy unto your God.
|
41 |
I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of
Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
