Laws about Offerings
1 TheLordinstructed Moses:
2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you to settle in,
3 and you make a fire offeringto theLordfrom the herd or flock — either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow,or as a freewill offering, or at your appointed festivals — to produce a pleasing aroma for theLord,
4 the one presenting his offering to theLordmust also present a grain offering of two quartsof fine flour mixed with a quartof oil.
5 Prepare a quartof wine as a drink offeringwith the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb.
6 “If you prepare a grain offering with a ram, it must be four quartsof fine flour mixed with a third of a gallonof oil.
7 Also present a third of a gallonof wine for a drink offering as a pleasing aroma to theLord.
8 “If you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow, or as a fellowship offering to theLord,
9 a grain offering of six quartsof fine flour mixed with two quartsof oil must be presented with the bull.
10 Also present two quartsof wine as a drink offering. It is a fire offering of pleasing aroma to theLord.
11 This is to be done for each ox, ram, lamb, or goat.
12 This is how you must prepare each of them, no matter how many.
13 “Every Israelite is to prepare these things in this way when he presents a fire offering as a pleasing aroma to theLord.
14 When a foreigner resides with you or someone else is among you and wants to prepare a fire offering as a pleasing aroma to theLord, he is to do exactly as you do throughout your generations.
15 The assembly is to have the same statute forboth you and the foreign resident as a permanent statute throughout your generations.You and the foreigner will be alike before theLord.
16 The same law and the same ordinance will apply to both you and the foreigner who resides with you.”
17 TheLordinstructed Moses:
18 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land where I am bringing you,
19 you are to offer a contribution to theLordwhen you eat from the food of the land.
20 You are to offer a loaf from your first batch of doughas a contribution; offer it just like a contribution from the threshing floor.
21 Throughout your generations, you are to give theLorda contribution from the first batch of your dough.
22 “When you sin unintentionally and do not obey all these commands that theLordspoke to Moses—
23 all that theLordhas commanded you through Moses, from the day theLordissued the commands and onward throughout your generations —
24 and if it was done unintentionally without the community’s awareness, the entire community is to prepare one young bull for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to theLord, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.
25 The priest must then make atonement for the entire Israelite community so that they may be forgiven,for the sin was unintentional. They are to bring their offering, one made by fire to theLord, and their sin offering before theLordfor their unintentional sin.
26 The entire Israelite community and the foreigner who resides among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.
27 “If one person sins unintentionally,he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.
28 The priest must then make atonement before theLordon behalf of the person who acts in error sinning unintentionally, and when he makes atonement for him, he will be forgiven.
29 You are to have the same law for the person who acts in error, whether he is an Israelite or a foreigner who lives among you.
30 “But the person who acts defiantly,whether native or foreign resident, blasphemes theLord.That person is to be cut off from his people.
31 He will certainly be cut off, because he has despised theLord’s word and broken His command; his guilt remains on him.”
Sabbath Violation
32 While the Israelites were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the entire community.
34 They placed him in custody because it had not been decided what should be done to him.
35 Then theLordtold Moses, “The man is to be put to death. The entire community is to stone him outside the camp.”
36 So the entire community brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as theLordhad commanded Moses.
Tassels for Remembrance
37 TheLordsaid to Moses,
38 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout their generations they are to make tasselsfor the corners of their garments, and put a blue cord on the tassel at each corner.
39 These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all theLord’s commands and obey them and not become unfaithful by following your own heartand your own eyes.
40 This way you will remember and obey all My commands 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.”
