³And 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:

⁴Whosoever 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:

⁵And he shall give the same measure of wine to pour out in libations for the holocaust or for the victim. For every lamb,

⁶And for every ram there shall be a sacrifice of flour of two tenths, which shall be tempered with the third part of a hin of oil:

⁷And he shall offer the third part the same measure of wine for the libation, for a sweet savour to the Lord.

⁸But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen, to fulfil thy vow or for victims of peace offerings,

⁹Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered with half a hin of oil,

¹⁰And wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering of most sweet savour to the Lord.

¹¹Thus shalt thou do

¹²For every ox and ram and lamb and kid.

¹³Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers

¹⁴Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite.

¹⁵There shall be all one law and judgment both for you and for them who are strangers in the land.

¹⁶And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

¹⁷Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them:

¹⁸When you are come into the land which I will give you,

¹⁹And shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall separate firstfruits to the Lord,

²⁰Of the things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of your barnfloors:

²¹So also shall you give firstfruits of your dough to the Lord.

²²And if through ignorance you omit any of these things, which the Lord hath spoken to Moses,

²³And by him hath commanded you from the day that he began to command and thenceforward,

²⁴And 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:

²⁵And 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:

²⁶And 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.

²⁷But if one soul shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer a she goat of a year old for his sin.

²⁸And 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.

²⁹The same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance, whether they be natives or strangers.

³⁰But 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:

³¹For he hath contemned the word of the Lord, and made void his precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall bear his iniquity.

³²And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and had found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day,

³³That they brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole multitude.

³⁴And they put him into prison, not knowing what they should do with him.

³⁵And the Lord said to Moses: Let that man die, let all the multitude stone him without the camp.

³⁶And when they had brought him out, they stoned him, and he died as the Lord had commanded.

³⁷The Lord also said to Moses:

³⁸Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt tell them to make to themselves fringes in the corners of their garments, putting in them ribands of blue:

³⁹That 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,

⁴⁰But rather being mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and be holy to their God.

⁴¹I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.
