| 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. |
