1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2Speak 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,
2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye are come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
3And 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:
3and will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, in fulfilment of a vow clearly uttered, or as a freewill-offering, or in your appointed seasons, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock;
4Whosoever 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:
4then shall he that bringeth his offering present unto the LORD a meal-offering of a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil;
5And he shall give the same measure of wine to pour out in libations for the holocaust or for the victim. For every lamb,
5and wine for the drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
6And 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:
6Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meal-offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil;
7And he shall offer the third part of the same measure of wine for the libation, for a sweet savour to the Lord.
7and for the drink-offering thou shalt present the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
8But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen, to fulfill thy vow or for victims of peace offerings,
8And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, in fulfilment of a vow clearly uttered, or for peace-offerings unto the LORD;
9Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered with half a hin of oil,
9then shall there be presented with the bullock a meal-offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil.
10And wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering of most sweet savour to the Lord.
10And thou shalt present for the drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
11Thus shalt thou do:
11Thus shall it be done for each bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids.
12For every ox and ram and lamb and kid.
12According to the number that ye may prepare, so shall ye do for every one according to their number.
13Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers,
13All that are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in presenting an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
14Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite.
14And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever may be among you, throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
15There shall be all one law and judgment both for you and for them who are strangers in the land.
15As for the congregation, there shall be one statute both for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you, a statute for ever throughout your generations; as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
16And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
16One law and one ordinance shall be both for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
17Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them:
17And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
18When you are come into the land which I will give you,
18Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye come into the land whither I bring you,
19And shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall separate firstfruits to the Lord,
19then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall set apart a portion for a gift unto the LORD.
20Of the things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of your barnfloors:
20Of the first of your dough ye shall set apart a cake for a gift; as that which is set apart of the threshing-floor, so shall ye set it apart.
21So also shall you give firstfruits of your dough to the Lord.
21Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD a portion for a gift throughout your generations.
22And if through ignorance you omit any of these things, which the Lord hath spoken to Moses,
22And when ye shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
23And by him hath commanded you, from the day that he began to command and thenceforward,
23even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;
24And 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:
24then it shall be, if it be done in error by the congregation, it being hid from their eyes, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD — with the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof, according to the ordinance — and one he-goat for a sin-offering.
25And 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:
25And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin-offering before the LORD, for their error.
26And 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.
26And all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; for in respect of all the people it was done in error.
27But if one soul shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer a she goat of a year old for his sin.
27And if one person sin through error, then he shall offer a she-goat of the first year for a sin-offering.
28And 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.
28And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth through error, before the LORD, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven,
29The same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance, whether they be natives or strangers.
29both he that is home-born among the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them: ye shall have one law for him that doeth aught in error.
30But 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:
30But the soul that doeth aught with a high hand, whether he be home-born or a stranger, the same blasphemeth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31For he hath contemned the word the Lord, and made void his precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall bear his iniquity.
31Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken His commandment; that soul shall utterly be cut off, his iniquity shall be upon him.
32And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and had found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day,
32And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath day.
33That they brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole multitude.
33And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
34And they put him into prison, not knowing what they should do with him.
34And they put him in ward, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
35And the Lord said to Moses: Let that man die, let all the multitude stone him without the camp.
35And the LORD said unto Moses: 'The man shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.'
36And when they had brought him out, they stoned him, and he died as the Lord had commanded.
36And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died, as the LORD commanded Moses.
37The Lord also said to Moses:
37And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
38Speak 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:
38'Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them throughout their generations fringes in the corners of their garments, and that they put with the fringe of each corner a thread of blue.
39That 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,
39And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye go not about after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go astray;
40But rather being mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and be holy to their God.
40that ye may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy unto your God.
41I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.
41I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.'
