Chapter 15
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying ,
2 " Speak to the children of Israel , and tell them , ‘ When you have come into the land of your habitations , which I give to you ,
3 and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh — a burnt offering , or a sacrifice , to accomplish a vow , or as a free will offering , or in your set feasts , to make a pleasant aroma to Yahweh , of the herd , or of the flock —
4 then he who offers his offering shall offer to Yahweh a meal offering of one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one fourth of a hin of oil .
5 You shall prepare wine for the drink offering , one fourth of a hin , with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice , for each lamb .
6 "‘ For a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil ;
7 and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine , of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh .
8 When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering or for a sacrifice , to accomplish a vow , or for peace offerings to Yahweh ,
9 then he shall offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil ;
10 and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine , for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh .
11 Thus it shall be done for each bull , for each ram, for each of the male lambs , or of the young goats .
12 According to the number that you shall prepare , so you shall do to everyone according to their number .
13 "‘ All who are native-born shall do these things in this way , in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh .
14 If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you , or whoever may be among you throughout your generations , and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh , as you do , so he shall do .
15 For the assembly , there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner , a statute forever throughout your generations . As you are , so the foreigner shall be before Yahweh .
16 One law and one ordinance shall be for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you .’"
17 Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying ,
18 " Speak to the children of Israel , and tell them , ‘ When you come into the land where I bring you ,
19 then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh .
20 Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering . As the wave offering of the threshing floor , so you shall heave it .
21 Of the first of your dough , you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations .
22 "‘ When you err , and don’t observe all these commandments which Yahweh has spoken to Moses —
23 even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses , from the day that Yahweh gave commandment and onward throughout your generations —
24 then it shall be , if it was done unwittingly , without the knowledge of the congregation , that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering , for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh , with its meal offering and its drink offering , according to the ordinance , and one male goat for a sin offering .
25 The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel , and they shall be forgiven ; for it was an error , and they have brought their offering , an offering made by fire to Yahweh , and their sin offering before Yahweh , for their error .
26 All the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven , as well as the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them ; for with regard to all the people , it was done unwittingly .
27 "‘ If a person sins unwittingly , then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering .
28 The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs when he sins unwittingly before Yahweh . He shall make atonement for him ; and he shall be forgiven .
29 You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly , for him who is native-born among the children of Israel , and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them .
30 "‘ But the soul who does anything with a high hand , whether he is native-born or a foreigner , blasphemes Yahweh . That soul shall be cut off from among his people .
31 Because he has despised Yahweh ’s word , and has broken his commandment , that soul shall be utterly cut off . His iniquity shall be on him .’"
32 While the children of Israel were in the wilderness , they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day .
33 Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation .
34 They put him in custody , because it had not been declared what should be done to him .
35 Yahweh said to Moses , " The man shall surely be put to death . All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp ."
36 All the congregation brought him outside of the camp , and stoned him to death with stones, as Yahweh commanded Moses .
37 Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying,
38 " Speak to the children of Israel , and tell them that they should make themselves fringes on the borders of their garments throughout their generations , and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord of blue .
39 It shall be to you for a fringe , that you may see it , and remember all Yahweh ’s commandments , and do them ; and that you don’t follow your own heart and your own eyes , after which you used to play the prostitute ;
40 so that you may remember and do all my commandments , and be holy to your God.
41 I am Yahweh your God , who brought you out of the land of Egypt , to be your God : I am Yahweh your God ."
