Numbers - Chapter 15

	Num 15:1	Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
	Num 15:2	"Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you enter the land [fn]where you are to live, which I am giving you,
	Num 15:3	then make an offering by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to [fn]fulfill a special vow, or as a freewill offering or in your appointed times, to make a soothing aroma to the LORD, from the herd or from the flock.
	Num 15:4	'The one who presents his offering shall present to the LORD a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a [fn]hin of oil,
	Num 15:5	and you shall prepare wine for the drink offering, one-fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
	Num 15:6	'Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-third of a hin of oil;
	Num 15:7	and for the drink offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a soothing aroma to the LORD.
	Num 15:8	'When you prepare a bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to [fn]fulfill a special vow, or for peace offerings to the LORD,
	Num 15:9	then you shall offer with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-half a hin of oil;
	Num 15:10	and you shall offer as the drink offering one-half a hin of wine as an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the LORD.
	Num 15:11	'Thus it shall be done for each ox, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the goats.
	Num 15:12	'According to the number that you prepare, so you shall do for everyone according to their number.
	Num 15:13	'All who are native shall do these things in this manner, in presenting an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the LORD.
	Num 15:14	'If an alien sojourns with you, or one who may be among you throughout your generations, and he wishes to make an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the LORD, just as you do so he shall do.
	Num 15:15	'As for the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the alien who sojourns with you, a perpetual statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the alien be before the LORD.
	Num 15:16	'There is to be one law and one ordinance for you and for the alien who sojourns with you.'"
	Num 15:17	Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
	Num 15:18	"Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you enter the land where I bring you,
	Num 15:19	then it shall be, that when you eat of the [fn]food of the land, you shall lift up [fn]an offering to the LORD.
	Num 15:20	'Of the first of your [fn]dough you shall lift up a cake as an [fn]offering; as the [fn]offering of the threshing floor, so you shall lift it up.
	Num 15:21	'From the first of your [fn]dough you shall give to the LORD an [fn]offering throughout your generations.
	Num 15:22	'But when you unwittingly fail and do not observe all these commandments, which the LORD has spoken to Moses,
	Num 15:23	even all that the LORD has commanded you [fn]through Moses, from the day when the LORD gave commandment and onward throughout your generations,
	Num 15:24	then it shall be, if it is done unintentionally, [fn]without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one bull for a burnt offering, as a soothing aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.
	Num 15:25	'Then the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they will be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their error.
	Num 15:26	'So all the congregation of the sons of Israel will be forgiven, with the alien who sojourns among them, for it happened to all the people through error.
	Num 15:27	'Also if one person sins unintentionally, then he shall offer a one year old female goat for a sin offering.
	Num 15:28	'The priest shall make atonement before the LORD for the person who goes astray when he sins unintentionally, making atonement for him [fn]that he may be forgiven.
	Num 15:29	'You shall have one law for him who does anything unintentionally, for him who is native among the sons of Israel and for the alien who sojourns among them.
	Num 15:30	'But the person who does anything defiantly, whether he is native or an alien, that one is blaspheming the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.
	Num 15:31	'Because he has despised the word of the LORD and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his [fn]guilt will be on him.'"
	Num 15:32	Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the sabbath day.
	Num 15:33	Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation;
	Num 15:34	and they put him in [fn]custody because it had not been [fn]declared what should be done to him.
	Num 15:35	Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp."
	Num 15:36	So all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him [fn]to death with stones, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
	Num 15:37	The LORD also spoke to Moses, saying,
	Num 15:38	"Speak to the sons of Israel, and tell them that they shall make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put on the tassel of each corner a cord of blue.
	Num 15:39	"It shall be a tassel for you [fn]to look at and remember all the commandments of the LORD, so as to do them and not [fn]follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot,
	Num 15:40	so that you may remember to do all My commandments and be holy to your God.
	Num 15:41	"I am the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the LORD your God."
