| 1Then the LORD told Moses, | 1The LORD instructed Moses: " |
| 2“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. “When you finally settle in the land I am giving you, | 2Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you to settle in, |
| 3you will offer special gifts as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. These gifts may take the form of a burnt offering, a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, a voluntary offering, or an offering at any of your annual festivals, and they may be taken from your herds of cattle or your flocks of sheep and goats. | 3and you make a fire offering to the LORD from the herd or flock--either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow, or as a freewill offering, or at your appointed festivals--to produce a pleasing aroma for the LORD, |
| 4When you present these offerings, you must also give the LORD a grain offering of two quarts of choice flour mixed with one quart of olive oil. | 4the one presenting his offering to the LORD must also present a grain offering of two quarts of fine flour mixed with a quart of oil. |
| 5For each lamb offered as a burnt offering or a special sacrifice, you must also present one quart of wine as a liquid offering. | 5Prepare a quart of wine as a drink offering with the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb." |
| 6“If the sacrifice is a ram, give a grain offering of four quarts of choice flour mixed with a third of a gallon of olive oil, | 6If you prepare a grain offering with a ram, it must be four quarts of fine flour mixed with a third of a gallon of oil. |
| 7and give a third of a gallon of wine as a liquid offering. This will be a pleasing aroma to the LORD. | 7Also present a third of a gallon of wine for a drink offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD." |
| 8“When you present a young bull as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the LORD, | 8If you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow, or as a fellowship offering to the LORD, |
| 9you must also give a grain offering of six quarts of choice flour mixed with two quarts of olive oil, | 9a grain offering of six quarts of fine flour mixed with two quarts of oil must be presented with the bull. |
| 10and give two quarts of wine as a liquid offering. This will be a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. | 10Also present two quarts of wine as a drink offering. It is a fire offering of pleasing aroma to the LORD. |
| 11“Each sacrifice of a bull, ram, lamb, or young goat should be prepared in this way. | 11This is to be done for each ox, ram, lamb, or goat. |
| 12Follow these instructions with each offering you present. | 12This is how you must prepare each of them, no matter how many." |
| 13All of you native-born Israelites must follow these instructions when you offer a special gift as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. | 13Every Israelite is to prepare these things in this way when he presents a fire offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. |
| 14And if any foreigners visit you or live among you and want to present a special gift as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, they must follow these same procedures. | 14When a foreigner resides with you or someone else is among you and wants to prepare a fire offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, he is to do exactly as you do throughout your generations. |
| 15Native-born Israelites and foreigners are equal before the LORD and are subject to the same decrees. This is a permanent law for you, to be observed from generation to generation. | 15The assembly is to have the same statute for both you and the foreign resident as a permanent statute throughout your generations. You and the foreigner will be alike before the LORD. |
| 16The same instructions and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigners living among you.” | 16The same law and the same ordinance will apply to both you and the foreigner who resides with you." |
| 17Then the LORD said to Moses, | 17The LORD instructed Moses: " |
| 18“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. “When you arrive in the land where I am taking you, | 18Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land where I am bringing you, |
| 19and you eat the crops that grow there, you must set some aside as a sacred offering to the LORD. | 19you are to offer a contribution to the LORD when you eat from the food of the land. |
| 20Present a cake from the first of the flour you grind, and set it aside as a sacred offering, as you do with the first grain from the threshing floor. | 20You are to offer a loaf from your first batch of dough as a contribution; offer it just like a contribution from the threshing floor. |
| 21Throughout the generations to come, you are to present a sacred offering to the LORD each year from the first of your ground flour. | 21Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD a contribution from the first batch of your dough." |
| 22“But suppose you unintentionally fail to carry out all these commands that the LORD has given you through Moses. | 22When you sin unintentionally and do not obey all these commands that the LORD spoke to Moses-- |
| 23And suppose your descendants in the future fail to do everything the LORD has commanded through Moses. | 23all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses, from the day the LORD issued the commands and onward throughout your generations-- |
| 24If the mistake was made unintentionally, and the community was unaware of it, the whole community must present a young bull for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. It must be offered along with its prescribed grain offering and liquid offering and with one male goat for a sin offering. | 24and if it was done unintentionally without the community's awareness, the entire community is to prepare one young bull for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering. |
| 25With it the priest will purify the whole community of Israel, making them right with the LORD, and they will be forgiven. For it was an unintentional sin, and they have corrected it with their offerings to the LORD—the special gift and the sin offering. | 25The priest must then make atonement for the entire Israelite community so that they may be forgiven, for the sin was unintentional. They are to bring their offering, one made by fire to the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD for their unintentional sin. |
| 26The whole community of Israel will be forgiven, including the foreigners living among you, for all the people were involved in the sin. | 26The entire Israelite community and the foreigner who resides among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally." |
| 27“If one individual commits an unintentional sin, the guilty person must bring a one-year-old female goat for a sin offering. | 27If one person sins unintentionally, he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering. |
| 28The priest will sacrifice it to purify the guilty person before the LORD, and that person will be forgiven. | 28The priest must then make atonement before the LORD on behalf of the person who acts in error sinning unintentionally, and when he makes atonement for him, he will be forgiven. |
| 29These same instructions apply both to native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you. | 29You are to have the same law for the person who acts in error, whether he is an Israelite or a foreigner who lives among you." |
| 30“But those who brazenly violate the LORD’s will, whether native-born Israelites or foreigners, have blasphemed the LORD, and they must be cut off from the community. | 30But the person who acts defiantly, whether native or foreign resident, blasphemes the LORD. That person is to be cut off from his people. |
| 31Since they have treated the LORD’s word with contempt and deliberately disobeyed his command, they must be completely cut off and suffer the punishment for their guilt.” Penalty for Breaking the Sabbath | 31He will certainly be cut off, because he has despised the LORD's word and broken His command; his guilt remains on him." |
| 32One day while the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they discovered a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day. | 32While the Israelites were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day. |
| 33The people who found him doing this took him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the community. | 33Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the entire community. |
| 34They held him in custody because they did not know what to do with him. | 34They placed him in custody because it had not been decided what should be done to him. |
| 35Then the LORD said to Moses, “The man must be put to death! The whole community must stone him outside the camp.” | 35Then the LORD told Moses, "The man is to be put to death. The entire community is to stone him outside the camp." |
| 36So the whole community took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. Tassels on Clothing | 36So the entire community brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
| 37Then the LORD said to Moses, | 37The LORD said to Moses, " |
| 38“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel: Throughout the generations to come you must make tassels for the hems of your clothing and attach them with a blue cord. | 38Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout their generations they are to make tassels for the corners of their garments, and put a blue cord on the tassel at each corner. |
| 39When you see the tassels, you will remember and obey all the commands of the LORD instead of following your own desires and defiling yourselves, as you are prone to do. | 39These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the LORD's commands and obey them and not become unfaithful by following your own heart and your own eyes. |
| 40The tassels will help you remember that you must obey all my commands and be holy to your God. | 40This way you will remember and obey all My commands and be holy to your God. |
| 41I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt that I might be your God. I am the LORD 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." |
