Laws about Offerings
1 AND our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:📜💬📚
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall be entered into the Land of your habitation, which I will give you,📜💬📚
3 and shall make oblation to the Lord for an holocaust, or victim, paying 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 flour, the tenth part of an ephi tempered with oil, which shall have in measure the fourth part of an hin:📜💬📚
5 and wine of the same measure to pour the libaments shall he give for the holocaust or for the victim. For every lamb📜💬📚
6 and ram there shall be a sacrifice of flour of two tenths, which shall be tempered with oil the third part of an hin:📜💬📚
7 and wine for the libament, the third part of the same measure, shall he offer for a sweet savour to the Lord.📜💬📚
8 But when thou makest an holocaust or host of oxen, to fulfill thy vow, or for pacific victims,📜💬📚
9 thou shalt give for every oxe three tenths of flour tempered with oil, which shall have half the measure of a hin:📜💬📚
10 and wine to pour libaments of the same measure for an oblation of most sweet savour to the Lord.📜💬📚
11 So shalt thou do📜💬📚
12 for every oxe and ram and lamb & buck goat.📜💬📚
13 As well they that are born in the country as the strangers📜💬📚
14 after one rite shall offer sacrifices.📜💬📚
15 There shall be all one precept & judgment as well to your selves as to the strangers of the land.📜💬📚
16 Our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:📜💬📚
17 Speak to the children of Israel, & thou shalt say to them:📜💬📚
18 When you are come into the land, which I will give you,📜💬📚
19 and shall eat of the breads of that country, you shall separate first fruits to the Lord.📜💬📚
20 of your meats. As of your barn floors you separate first fruits,📜💬📚
21 so of your pasts shall you give first fruits to the Lord.📜💬📚
Offerings for Unintentional Sins
22 And if through ignorance you omit any of these things, which the Lord hath spoken to Moyses,📜💬📚
23 and by him hath commanded you, from the day that he began to command and so forward,📜💬📚
24 and the multitude have forgotten to do it: they shall offer a calf out of the herd, an holocaust for a most sweet savour to the Lord, and the sacrifice and libaments, 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 not wittingly, offering notwithstanding burnt sacrifice to the Lord for themselves and for their sin and error:📜💬📚
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 unwitting, he shall offer a she goat of a year old for his sin:📜💬📚
28 and the Priest shall pray for him, because he sinned unwitting before the Lord: and he shall obtain him pardon, and it shall be forgiven him.📜💬📚
29 As well to them that are born in the country as to the strangers one law shall be for all, that sin by ignorance.📜💬📚
30 But the soul, that through pride committeth any thing, whether he be born in the country, or a stranger, (because he hath been rebellious against the Lord) shall perish out of his people:📜💬📚
31 for he hath contemned the word of the Lord, and made his precept of no effect: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall bear his iniquity.📜💬📚
A Sabbath-Breaker Stoned
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 they presented him to Moyses and Aaron and the whole multitude.📜💬📚
34 Who shut him into prison, not knowing what they should do with him.📜💬📚
35 And our Lord said to Moyses, dying let this 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 our Lord had commanded.📜💬📚
Law of Tassels
37 Our Lord also said to Moyses:📜💬📚
38 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, that they make themselves fringes in the corners of their garments, putting in them ribands of hyacinth:📜💬📚
39 which when they shall see, they may remember all the commandments of the Lord, and not follow their own cogitations and eyes, fornicating after diverse things,📜💬📚
40 but rather mindful of the precepts of the Lord may do them, and be holy to their God.📜💬📚
41 I, the Lord your God, that brought you out of the Land of AEgypt, that I might be your God.📜💬📚
