Numbers 15
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Speak to the children of Israel and thou shalt say to
them: When you shall be come into the land of your habitation,
which I will give you,
And shall make an offering to the Lord, for a holocaust,
or a victim, paying your vows, or voluntarily offering
gifts, or in your solemnities burning a sweet savour
unto the Lord, of oxen or of sheep:
Whosoever immolateth the victim, shall offer a sacrifice
of fine flour, the tenth part of an ephi, tempered with
the fourth part of a hin of oil:
And he shall give the same measure of wine to pour out
in libations for the holocaust or for the victim. For
every lamb,
And for every ram there shall be a sacrifice of hour
of two tenths, which shall be tempered with the third
part of a hin of oil:
And he shall offer the third part of the same measure
of wine for the libation, for a sweet savour to the
Lord.
But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen,
to fulfil thy vow or for victims of peace offerings,
Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered
with half a hin of oil,
And wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering
of most sweet savour to the Lord.
Thus shalt thou do
For every ox and ram and lamb and kid.
Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers
Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite.
There shall be all one law and judgment both for you
and for them who are strangers in the land.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say
to them:
When you are come into the land which I will give you,
And shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall
separate firstfruits to the Lord,
Of the things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of
your barnfloors:
So also shall you give firstfruits of your dough to
the Lord.
And if through ignorance you omit any of these things,
which the Lord hath spoken to Moses,
And by him hath commanded you, from the day that he
began to command and thenceforward,
And the multitude have forgotten to do it: they shall
offer a calf out of the herd, a holocaust for a most
sweet savour to the Lord, and the sacrifice and libations
thereof, as the ceremonies require, and a buck goat
for sin:
And the priest shall pray for all the multitude of the
children of Israel: and it shall be forgiven them, because
they sinned ignorantly, offering notwithstanding a burnt
offering to the Lord for themselves and for their sin
and their ignorance:
And it shall be forgiven all the people of the children
of Israel: and the strangers that sojourn among them:
because it is the fault of all the people through ignorance.
But if one soul shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer
a she goat of a year old for his sin.
And the priest shall pray for him, because he sinned
ignorantly before the Lord: and he shall obtain his
pardon, and it shall be forgiven him.
The same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance,
whether they be natives or strangers.
But the soul that committeth any thing through pride,
whether he be born in the land or a stranger (because
he hath been rebellious against the Lord) shall be cut
off from among his people:
For he hath contemned the word the Lord, and made void
his precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall
bear his iniquity.
And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were
in the wilderness, and had found a man gathering sticks
on the sabbath day,
That they brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole
multitude.
And they put him into prison, not knowing what they
should do with him.
And the Lord said to Moses: Let that man die, let all
the multitude stone him without the camp.
And when they had brought him out, they stoned him,
and he died as the Lord had commanded.
The Lord also said to Moses:
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt tell
them I to make to themselves fringes in the corners
of their garments, putting in them ribands of blue:
That when they shall see them, they may remember all
the commandments of the Lord, and not follow their own
thoughts and eyes going astray after divers things,
But rather being mindful of the precepts of the Lord,
may do them and be holy to their Cod.
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land
of Egypt, that I might be your God. |
