15:1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
15:2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land ①where you are going to live, which I am giving you,
▷ ①Lit of your dwellings
15:3 and you make an offering by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to ①fulfill a special vow, or as a ②voluntary offering or at your appointed times, to make a soothing aroma to the LORD from the herd or from the flock,
▷ ①Or make a special votive offering ②Or freewill offering
15:4 then the one who presents his offering shall present to the LORD a grain offering of a tenth of an ①ephah of fine flour mixed with a fourth of a ②hin of oil,
▷ ①An ephah was about 7.4 gallons or 28 liters ②A hin also was about 1 gallon or 3.8 liters
15:5 and you shall prepare wine for the drink offering, a fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
15:6 Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil;
15:7 and for the drink offering you shall offer a third of a hin of wine as a soothing aroma to the LORD.
15:8 And when you prepare a bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to ①fulfill a special vow, or for peace offerings to the LORD,
▷ ①Or make a special votive offering
15:9 then you shall offer with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil;
15:10 and you shall offer as the drink offering half a hin of wine as an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the LORD.
15:11 ‘This is how it shall be done for each ox, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the goats.
15:12 According to the number that you prepare, so you shall do for each one according to their number.
15:13 Everyone who is a native shall do these things in this way, in presenting an offering by fire as a soothing aroma to the LORD.
15:14 Now if a stranger resides among you, or one who may be among you throughout your generations, and he wants to make an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the LORD, just as you do so shall he do.
15:15 As for the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who resides among you, a permanent statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
15:16 There is to be one law and one ordinance for you and for the stranger who resides with you.’ ”
15:17 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
15:18 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land where I am bringing you,
15:19 then it shall be, that when you eat from the ①food of the land, you shall lift up an ②offering to the LORD.
▷ ①Lit bread ②Or uplifted offering
15:20 Of the first of your ①dough you shall lift up a loaf as an ②offering; as an ③offering of the threshing floor, so you shall lift it up.
▷ ①Or coarse meal ②Or uplifted offering ③Or uplifted offering
15:21 From the first of your ①dough you shall give to the LORD an ②offering throughout your generations.
▷ ①Or coarse meal ②Or uplifted offering
15:22 ‘But when you unintentionally do wrong and fail to ①comply with all these commandments which the LORD has spoken to Moses,
▷ ①Lit perform all
15:23 that is, all that the LORD has commanded you ①through Moses from the day that the LORD gave commandments and onward, throughout your generations,
▷ ①Lit by the hand of
15:24 then it shall be, if it is done unintentionally, ①without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one bull as a burnt offering, as a soothing aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat as a sin offering.
▷ ①Lit away from the eyes of the congregation
15:25 Then the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they will be forgiven; for it was an unintentional wrong, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their unintentional wrong.
15:26 So all the congregation of the sons of Israel will be forgiven, as well as the stranger who resides among them, for guilt was attributed to all the people through an unintentional wrong.
15:27 ‘Also, if one person sins unintentionally, then he shall offer a one-year-old female goat as a sin offering.
15:28 And the priest shall make atonement before the LORD for the person who goes astray by an unintentional sin, making atonement for him ①so that he may be forgiven.
▷ ①Or and he shall
15:29 You shall have one law for the native among the sons of Israel and for the stranger who resides among them, for one who does anything wrong unintentionally.
15:30 But the person who does wrong ①defiantly, whether he is a native or a stranger, that one is blaspheming the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.
▷ ①Lit with upraised hand
15:31 Since he has despised the word of the LORD and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his ①guilt will be on him.’ ”
▷ ①Or wrongdoing
15:32 Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
15:33 And those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation;
15:34 and they placed him in custody, because it had not been decided what should be done to him.
15:35 Then the LORD said to Moses, “The man must be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.”
15:36 So all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him ①to death with stones, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
▷ ①Lit with stones and he died
15:37 The LORD also spoke to Moses, saying,
15:38 “Speak to the sons of Israel and tell them that they shall make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put on the tassel of each corner a ①violet thread.
▷ ①Or bluish; LXX hyacinth in color, and so throughout the ch
15:39 It shall be a tassel for you ①to look at and remember all the commandments of the LORD, so that you will do them and not ②follow your own heart and your own eyes, ③which led you to prostitute yourselves,
▷ ①Lit and you shall look at it ②Lit seek ③Lit after which you played
15:40 so that you will remember and do all My commandments and be holy to your God.
15:41 I am the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the LORD your God.”
