Laws about Offerings

1And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying: 2Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them: when ye be come into the lande of your habitations, whiche I geue vnto you: 3And will make an offering by fire vnto the Lorde, namely a burnt offering, or a sacrifice to fulfill a vowe, or a free offering, or in your principall feastes, to make a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde, of the heard, or of the flocke: 4Then let hym that offereth his offering vnto the Lord, bryng also a meate offering of a tenth deale of floure, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oyle. 5And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drinke offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering, or any other offering, for one lambe. 6Or if it be a ramme, thou shalt prepare for a meate offering two tenth deales of floure, mingled with the thirde part of an hin of oyle. 7And for a drinke offering, thou shalt offer the thirde part of an hin of wine, for a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde. 8And when thou preparest a bullocke for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice to fulfill a vowe or peace offering vnto the Lorde: 9Let him bring with a bullocke a meate offering of three tenth deales of floure, mingled with halfe an hin of oyle. 10And thou shalt bryng for a drinke offering, euen halfe an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde.

11After this maner shall it be done for a bullocke, or for a ramme, or for a lambe, or a kid, 12According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to euery one, accordyng to their number. 13All that are borne of the countrey, shal do these thynges after this maner, to offer an offering made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde.

14And if a straunger soiourne with you, or whosoeuer be among you in your generations, and wyll offer an offering made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde: euen as ye do, so he shall do. 15One ordinaunce shalbe both for you of the cogregation, and also for the straunger that dwelleth with you: It shalbe an ordinaunce for euer in your generations: as ye are, so shall the straunger be before the Lorde. 16One lawe and one maner shall serue, both for you, and for the straunger that soiourneth with you.

17And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying: 18Speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and say vnto them: When ye be come into the land to the which I bring you, 19Then when ye wyll eate of the bread of the lande, ye shall offer vp an heaue offering vnto the Lorde. 20Ye shall offer vp a cake of the first of your dowe for an heaue offering: as ye do the heaue offering of the barne, euen so ye shall heaue it. 21Of the first of your dowe ye shall geue vnto the Lorde an heaue offering in your generations.

Offerings for Unintentional Sins

22And if ye haue erred, and obserue not all these commaundementes which the Lorde hath spoken vnto Moyses, 23Euen all that the Lorde hath commaunded you by the hande of Moyses, from the first day that the Lorde commaunded Moyses, and hence forwarde among your generations. 24Yf ought be committed ignorauntly of the congregation, al the multitude shall offer a bullocke for a burnt offering, to be a sweete sauour vnto the Lord, with the meate offering and drinke offering therto accordyng to the maner, and an hee goate for a sinne offering. 25And the priest shall make an attonement for all the multitude of the chyldren of Israel, and it shalbe forgeuen them, for it is ignoraunce: And they shal bryng their offering, a sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord, & their sinne offering before the Lorde for their ignoraunce. 26And it shalbe forgeuen vnto all the congregation of the chyldren of Israel, and vnto the straunger that dwelleth among you, seyng all the people were in ignoraunce.

27If any one soule sinne through ignoraunce, he shall bryng a shee goate of a yere olde for a sinne offering. 28And the priest shall make an attonement for the soule that sinneth ignorauntly, when he sinneth by ignoraunce before the Lorde to reconcile hym, and that it may be forgeuen hym. 29And both thou that art borne of the chyldren of Israel, and the strannger that dwelleth among you, shall haue one lawe who so doth sinne thorowe ignoraunce. 30But the soule that doth ought presumptuously, whether he be borne in the lande or a straunger, the same blasphemeth the Lorde: and that soule shalbe cut of from among his people. 31Because he hath despised the worde of the Lorde, and hath broken his commaundement, that soule therefore shalbe vtterly cut of, and his sinne shalbe vppon hym.

A Sabbath-Breaker Stoned
(Exodus 31:12–17)

32And whyle the chyldre of Israel were in the wyldernesse, they founde a man that gathered stickes vpon the Sabbath day. 33And they that founde hym gathering stickes, brought hym vnto Moyses and Aaron, and vnto all the congregation. 34And they put hym in warde, seyng it was not declared what shoulde be done to hym. 35And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Let the man dye, & let all the multitude stone him with stones without ye hoast. 36And all the multitude brought hym without the hoast, and stoned hym with stones, and he dyed, as the Lorde commaunded Moyses.

The Law of Tassels

37And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying: 38Speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and byd them, that they make them fringes in the borders of their garmentes throughout their generations, and put vpon the fringe of the borders a ribande of blewe silke. 39And the fringe shalbe vnto you to loke vpon, that ye may remember all the comaundementes of the Lorde, and do them: and that ye seeke not after your owne heart, or your owne eyes, after the which ye vse to go a whoryng. 40But ye shall remember rather, and do all my commaundementes, and be holy vnto your God. 41I am the Lorde your God, which brought you out of the lande of Egypt, for to be your God: I am the Lorde your God. The rebellion of Corah, Dathan, and Abiram. 31 They perishe with their companie.
