Numbers 15:1–29

Various Sacrifices and Offerings

15 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the Israelitesa and say to them, ‘When you come into the land of your dwellings that I am about to give to you, you will make an offering by fire for Yahweh from the cattle or from the flock, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering or at your feasts, to make a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh. And the one who presents an offeringb for Yahweh, he will present a grain offering of finely milled flour; a tenth will be mixed with a fourth of the liquid measure of oil; and you will add a fourth of wine for the libation upon the burnt offering, or to the sacrifice for each ram-lamb. Or for the ram you will make a grain offering of two-tenths of finely milled flour mixed into a third of a liquid measure of oil. You will present a third of the liquid measure of wine for the libation, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh. When you prepare a bullc as a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow or a fellowship offering for Yahweh, you will present with the bulld a grain offering of three-tenths of finely milled flour mixed with half a liquid measure of oil, 10 and you will present half a liquid measure of wine as a libation, as an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh.

11 “ ‘This is how it should be done for each bull, or for the each ram, or for the small four-footed mammal, or ram-lambs, or goats. 12 According to the number that you prepare, so should you do to each according to their number. 13 Every native must do these things to present an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh. 14 If an alien dwells among you, or whoever is in your midst throughout your generations,e and prepares an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, he should do as you do. 15 For the assembly, there will be one decree for you and for the alien who dwells among you; it is an eternal decree for all your generations. You as well as the alienf will be before Yahweh.g 16 There will be one law and one stipulation for you and for the alien dwelling among you.’ ”

17 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 18 “Speak to the Israelitesh and say to them, ‘When you come into the land to which I am about to bring you, 19 whenever you eat from the food of the land, you will lift up a contribution to Yahweh. 20 You must lift up a contribution of the first batch of your ring-shaped dough bread; you must lift it up as a contribution of the threshing floor. 21 You will give to Yahweh a contribution from the first of your dough throughout your generations.i

22 “ ‘But if you go astray and you do not followj all these commandments that Yahweh commanded to Moses, 23 all that Yahweh commanded you by the hand of Mosesk from the day that Yahweh commanded and beyond, throughout your generations,l 24 and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledgem of the community, then the entire community must prepare one young bulln as a burnt offering, as a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, and its grain offering and its libation, according to the stipulation, and one male goat as a sin offering. 25 The priest will make atonement for all of the community of the Israelites,o and they will be forgivenp because it was unintentional; they will bring their offering, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, their sin offering before Yahwehq for their unintentional sin. 26 All of the community of the Israelitesr will be forgiven, as well as the alien that dwells in their midst, because the whole community was involved in the unintentional wrong.

27 “ ‘If one person sins unintentionally, that person will present a female goat in its first years as a sin offering. 28 And the priest will make atonement for the person who sinned unintentionallyt before Yahweh,u to make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven. 29 For the native among the Israelitesv and the alien that dwells in their midst, there will be one law for anyone who commits an unintentional wrong.
