Supplementary Offerings
1
The LORD said to Moses,
2
"Speak to the Israelites and say to them:
'After you enter the land I am giving you as a home
3
and you present the LORD offerigs made by fire, from the herd or the flock,
as an aroma pleasing to the LORD - whether burnt offerings or sacrifices,
for special vows or freewill offerings or festival offerings -
4
then the one who brings his offering shall present to the LORD a garin offering
of a tenth of an ephah of fine four mixed with a quarter of a hin of oil.
5
With each lamb for the burnt offering or the sacrifice,
prepare a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering.
6
" 'With a ram prepare a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah
of the fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil,
7
and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering. Offer it as an aroma pleasing
to the LORD.
8
" 'When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice,
for a special vow or a fellowship offering to the LORD,
9
bring with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah
of a fine flour mixed with half of a hin of oil.
10
Also bring a half of a hin of wine as a drink offering.
It will be an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
11
Each bull or ram, each lamb or young goat, is to be prepared in this manner.
12
Do this for each one, for as many as you prepare.
13
" 'Everyone who is native-born must do these things un this way when
he brings an offering made by fire as an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
14
For the generations to come, whenever an alien or anyone else living among
you presents an offering made by fire as an aroma pleasing to the LORD,
he must do exactly as you do.
15
The community is to have the same rules for you and for the alien living
among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.
You and the alilen shall be the same before the LORD:
16
The same laws and regulations will apply both to you
and to the alien living among you.'"
17
The LORD said to Moses,
18
"Speak to the Israelites and say to them:
'When you enter the land to which I am taking you
19
and you eat the food of the land, present a portion as as an offering to the LORD.
20
Present a cake from the first of your ground meal
and present it as an offering from the threshing floor.
21
Throuhout the generations to come you are to give this offering to the LORD
from the first of your ground meal.
Offerings for Unintentional Sins
22
" 'Now you unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the LORD gave Moses -
23
any of the LORD's commands to you through him, from the day the LORD
gave them and continuing through the generations to come -
24
and if this is done unintentionally without the community being aware of it,
then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering
as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, along with its prescribed grain offering
and drink offering, and a male goat for a sin offering.
25
The preist is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community,
and they will be forgiven, for it was not intentional and they have brought
to the LORD for their wrong an offering made by fire and a sin offering.
26
The whole Israelite community and the aliens living among them will be
forgiven, because all the peple were involved in the unintentional wrong.
27
" 'But if just one person sins unintentionally, he must bring a year-old
female goat for a sin offering.
28
The priest is to make atonement before the LORD for the one
who erred by sinning unintentionally, and when atonement has
been made for him, he will be forgiven.
29
One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally,
whether he is a native-born Israelite or an alien.
30
" 'But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or alien, blasphemes
the LORD, and that person must be cut off from his people.
31
Because he has despised the LORD's word and broken his commands,
that person must surely be cut off; his guilt remains on him.' "
The Sabbath-Breaker Put to Death
32
While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was found gathering wood
on the Sabbath day.
33
Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses
and Aaron and the whole assembly,
34
and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him.
35
Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must die.
The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp."
36
So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death,
as the LORD commanded Moses.
Tassels on Garments
37
The LORD said to Moses,
38
"Speak to the Israelites and say to them:
'Throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corners of
your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel.
39
You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember
all the commands of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prositute
yourselves by going after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes.
40
Then you will remember to obey all my commands
and will be consecrated to your God.
41
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God.
I am the LORD your God.' "
