Numbers 15

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,	1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,	2 "Give the Israelites these instructions: When you have entered the land that I will give you for your homesteads,
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:	3 if you make to the LORD a sweet-smelling oblation from the herd or from the flock, in holocaust, in fulfillment of a vow, or as a freewill offering, or for one of your festivals,
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.	4 whoever does so shall also present to the LORD a cereal offering consisting of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a fourth of a 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.	5 as well as a libation of a fourth of a hin of wine, with each lamb sacrificed in holocaust or otherwise.
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.	6 With each sacrifice of a ram you shall present a cereal offering of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a 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.	7 and a libation of a third of a hin of wine, thus making a sweet-smelling offering to 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:	8 When you sacrifice an ox as a holocaust, or in fulfillment of a vow, or as a peace offering to 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.	9 with it you shall present a cereal offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a 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.	10 and a libation of half a hin of wine, as a sweet-smelling oblation to the LORD.
11 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.	11 The same is to be done for each ox, ram, lamb or goat.
12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.	12 Whatever the number you offer, do the same for each of them.
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.	13 "All the native-born shall make these offerings in the same way, whenever they present a sweet-smelling oblation to 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.	14 Likewise, in any future generation, any alien residing with you permanently or for a time, who presents a sweet-smelling oblation to the LORD, shall do as you 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.	15 There is but one rule for you and for the resident alien, a perpetual rule for all your descendants. Before the LORD you and the alien are alike,
16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.	16 with the same law and the same application of it for the alien residing among you as for yourselves."
17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,	17 The LORD said to Moses,
18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,	18 "Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land into which I will 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.	19 and begin to eat of the food of that land, you shall offer the LORD a contribution
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.	20 consisting of a cake of your first batch of dough. You shall offer it just as you offer a contribution from the threshing floor.
21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations.	21 Throughout your generations you shall give a contribution to the LORD from your first batch of dough.
22 And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,	22 "When through inadvertence you fail to carry out any of these commandments which the LORD gives to 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;	23 and through Moses to you, from the time the LORD first issues the commandment down through 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.	24 if the community itself unwittingly becomes guilty of the fault of inadvertence, the whole community shall offer the holocaust of one young bull as a sweet-smelling oblation pleasing to the LORD, along with its prescribed cereal offering and libation, as well as one he-goat as 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:	25 Then the priest shall make atonement for the whole Israelite community; thus they will be forgiven the inadvertence for which they have brought their holocaust as an oblation to the LORD.
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.	26 Not only the whole Israelite community, but also the aliens residing among you, shall be forgiven, since the fault of inadvertence affects all the people.
27 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.	27 "However, if it is an individual who sins inadvertently, he shall bring a yearling she-goat as 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.	28 and the priest shall make atonement before the LORD for him who sinned inadvertently; when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven.
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.	29 You shall have but one law for him who sins inadvertently, whether he be a native Israelite or an alien residing with you.
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.	30 "But anyone who sins defiantly, whether he be a native or an alien, insults the LORD, and 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.	31 Since he has despised the word of the LORD and has broken his commandment, he must be cut off. He has only himself to blame."
32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.	32 While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was discovered gathering wood on the sabbath day.
33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.	33 Those who caught him at it brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly.
34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.	34 But they kept him in custody, for there was no clear decision as to what should be done with 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.	35 Then the LORD said to Moses, "This man shall be put to death; let the whole community stone him outside 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.	36 So the whole community led him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
37 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,	37 The LORD said to Moses,
38 Speak unto the children 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:	38 "Speak to the Israelites and tell them that they and their descendants must put tassels on the corners of their garments, fastening each corner tassel with a violet cord.
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:	39 When you use these tassels, let the sight of them remind you to keep all the commandments of the LORD, without going wantonly astray after the desires of your hearts and eyes.
40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.	40 Thus you will remember to keep all my commandments and be holy to 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.	41 I, the LORD, am your God who, as God, brought you out of Egypt that I, the LORD, may be your God."
