| Chapter 15 |
1 |
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: |
2 |
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, |
3 |
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: |
4 |
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: |
5 |
And he shall give the same measure of wine to pour out in libations for the holocaust or for the victim. For every lamb, |
6 |
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: |
7 |
And he shall offer the third part of the same measure of wine for the libation, for a sweet savour to the Lord. |
8 |
But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen, to fulfil thy vow or for victims of peace offerings, |
9 |
Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered with half a hin of oil, |
10 |
And wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering of most sweet savour to the Lord. |
11 |
Thus shalt thou do |
12 |
For every ox and ram and lamb and kid. |
13 |
Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers |
14 |
Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite. |
15 |
There shall be all one law and judgment both for you and for them who are strangers in the land. |
16 |
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: |
17 |
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: |
18 |
When you are come into the land which I will give you, |
19 |
And shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall separate firstfruits to the Lord, |
20 |
Of the things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of your barnfloors: |
21 |
So also shall you give firstfruits of your dough to the Lord. |
22 |
And if through ignorance you omit any of these things, which the Lord hath spoken to Moses, |
23 |
And by him hath commanded you, from the day that he began to command and thenceforward, |
24 |
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: |
25 |
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: |
26 |
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. |
27 |
But if one soul shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer a she goat of a year old for his sin. |
28 |
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. |
29 |
The same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance, whether they be natives or strangers. |
30 |
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: |
31 |
For he hath contemned the word the Lord, and made void his precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall bear his iniquity. |
32 |
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, |
33 |
That they brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole multitude. |
34 |
And they put him into prison, not knowing what they should do with him. |
35 |
And the Lord said to Moses: Let that man die, let all the multitude stone him without the camp. |
36 |
And when they had brought him out, they stoned him, and he died as the Lord had commanded. |
37 |
The Lord also said to Moses: |
38 |
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: |
39 |
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, |
40 |
But rather being mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and be holy to their Cod. |
41 |
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God. |
