1Yahweh said to Moses, 2"Say to the people of Israel, When you come into the land you are to inhabit, which I give you, 3and you offer to Yahweh from the herd or from the flock an offering by fire or a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfil a vow or as a freewill offering or at your appointed feasts, to make a pleasing odour to Yahweh, 4then he who brings his offering shall offer to Yahweh a cereal offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil; 5and wine for the drink offering, a fourth of a hin, you shall prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb. 6Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a cereal offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil; 7and for the drink offering you shall offer a third of a hin of wine, a pleasing odour to Yahweh. 8And when you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to fulfil a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh, 9then one shall offer with the bull a cereal offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with half a hin of oil, 10and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, as an offering by fire, a pleasing odour to Yahweh.
11"Thus it shall be done for each bull or ram, or for each of the male lambs or the kids. 12According to the number that you prepare, so shall you do with every one according to their number. 13All who are native shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering by fire, a pleasing odour to Yahweh. 14And if a stranger is sojourning with you, or any one is among you throughout your generations, and he wishes to offer an offering by fire, a pleasing odour to Yahweh, he shall do as you do. 15For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you, a perpetual statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the sojourner be before Yahweh. 16One law and one ordinance shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you."
17Yahweh said to Moses, 18"Say to the people of Israel, When you come into the land to which I bring you 19and when you eat of the food of the land, you shall present an offering to Yahweh. 20Of the first of your coarse meal you shall present a cake as an offering; as an offering from the threshing floor, so shall you present it. 21Of the first of your coarse meal you shall give to Yahweh an offering throughout your generations.
22"But if you err, and do not observe all these commandments which Yahweh has spoken to Moses, 23all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations, 24then if it was done unwittingly without the knowledge of the congregation, all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, a pleasing odour to Yahweh, with its cereal offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering. 25And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the people of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; because it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error. 26And all the congregation of the people of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who sojourns among them, because the whole population was involved in the error.
27"If one person sins unwittingly, he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering. 28And the priest shall make atonement before Yahweh for the person who commits an error, when he sins unwittingly, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. 29You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native among the people of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourns among them. 30But the person who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native or a sojourner, reviles Yahweh, and that person shall be cut off from among his people. 31Because he has despised the word of Yahweh, and has broken his commandment, that person shall be utterly cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him."
32While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day. 33And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34They put him in custody, because it had not been made plain what should be done to him. 35And Yahweh said to Moses, "The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp." 36And all the congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
37Yahweh said to Moses, 38"Speak to the people of Israel, and bid them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put upon the tassel of each corner a cord of blue; 39and it shall be to you a tassel to look upon and remember all the commandments of Yahweh, to do them, not to follow after your own heart and your own eyes, which you are inclined to go after wantonly. 40So you shall 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."
