Offerings in the Land to Come
1Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said, 2“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land where you will live, which I am giving you, 3and you make an offering by fire to Yahweh — a burnt offering or a sacrifice, in fulfillment of a vow or as a freewill offering, or at your appointed festivals — to make a pleasing aroma to Yahweh from the herd or the flock, 4then whoever brings his offering to Yahweh shall bring as a grain offering a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil. 5You shall also prepare a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb. 6Or for a ram, you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil, 7and as a drink offering you shall offer a third of a hin of wine, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh. 8When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice, in fulfillment of a vow or as a peace offering to Yahweh, 9then with the young bull you shall bring as a grain offering three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil, 10and you shall bring as a drink offering half a hin of wine, an offering by fire, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh. 11This is what shall be done for each ox, or for each ram, or for each lamb or young goat. 12According to the number you prepare, so you shall do for each one, according to their number. 13Every native shall do these things in this way, when he presents an offering by fire, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh. 14If a foreigner resides with you, or anyone else is among you throughout your generations, and he wants to make an offering by fire, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh, he shall do just as you do. 15For the congregation, there shall be one statute for you and for the foreigner residing with you, a lasting statute throughout your generations. You and the foreigner shall be alike before Yahweh. 16One law and one ordinance shall apply to you and to the foreigner residing with you.”
The Contribution of the Dough
17Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said, 18“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you come into the land where I am bringing you, 19and you eat of the food of the land, you shall present a contribution to Yahweh. 20From the first of your dough you shall present a loaf as a contribution; you shall present it just as you present the contribution from the threshing floor. 21From the first of your dough you shall give a contribution to Yahweh throughout your generations.
Unintentional Sins
22If you sin unintentionally and fail to observe all these commandments that Yahweh has spoken to Moses — 23everything Yahweh has commanded you through Moses, from the day Yahweh gave the command and onward, throughout your generations — 24then if it was done unintentionally, without the knowledge of the congregation, the whole congregation shall offer one young bull as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat as a sin offering. 25The priest shall make atonement for the whole congregation of the Israelites, and they will be forgiven, for it was unintentional, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their unintentional sin. 26The whole congregation of the Israelites will be forgiven, along with the foreigner residing among them, since the whole people was involved unintentionally. 27But if one person sins unintentionally, he shall bring a year-old female goat as a sin offering. 28The priest shall make atonement before Yahweh for the person who erred, when he sinned unintentionally, to make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven. 29There shall be one law for you, for the native among the Israelites and for the foreigner residing among them, for anyone who sins unintentionally. 30But the person who sins defiantly, whether native or foreigner, reviles Yahweh, and that person shall be cut off from among his people. 31Because he has despised the word of Yahweh and broken his commandment, that person shall surely be cut off; his guilt is on him.”
The Man Who Gathered Wood
32While the Israelites were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day. 33Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation. 34They put him in custody, because it had not been made clear what should be done to him. 35Then Yahweh said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36So the whole congregation took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
The Tassels
37Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said, 38“Speak to the Israelites and tell them to make tassels for themselves on the corners of their garments, throughout their generations, and to put a blue cord on the tassel at each corner. 39This shall be a tassel for you to look at, so that you will remember all the commandments of Yahweh and do them, and not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, which lead you to be unfaithful, 40so that you may remember and do all my commandments and be holy to your God. 41I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am Yahweh your God.”
