Lamsa Bible Par ▾ 
1AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land of your habitation, which I give to you for an inheritance, 3You shall offer an offering to the LORD, a burnt offering or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour to the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock; 4Then shall he who offers his offering to the LORD bring a meal offering of a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a fourth part of a hin of oil. 5And a fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering shall you offer with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb. 6Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third part of a hin of oil. 7And for a drink offering you shall offer a third part of a hin of wine, for a sweet savour to the LORD. 8And when you offer a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or as a peace offering to the LORD; 9Then you shall offer with the bullock a meal offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil. 10And you shall bring for a drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.

11Thus shall you do for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid of the goats. 12According to the number that you shall prepare, so shall you do to every one according to their number. 13All the house of Israel shall do these things after this manner, and shall offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.

14And if a proselyte, sojourn with you, or whoever is among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD; as you do, so shall he do. 15One ordinance shall be both for .you and for the proselyte who sojourns with you, an ordinance for ever throughout your generations; the proselyte shall be like you before the LORD. 16One law and one ordinance shall be for you and for the proselyte who sojourns with you.

17The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 18Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land whither I will bring you, 19Then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a heave offering to the LORD. 20You shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough as an offering to the LORD; as you make the offering of the threshing floor, so shall you offer it. 21Of the first of your dough you shall give to the LORD a heave offering throughout your generations.

22And if you err, and do not observe all these commandments which the LORD has spoken to Moses, 23Even all that the LORD has commanded you by the hand of Moses from the day that the LORD commanded Moses and henceforward throughout your generations; 24Then it shall be, if the error was committed in the presence of the congregation, all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour to the LORD, with its meal offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance thereof, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering. 25And the priest shall make atonement for the whole congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it was an error; and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire to the LORD, and their sin offering to the LORD for their folly; 26And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel and the proselyte who sojourns among them, because all the people had erred.

27And if any person sins through an error, then he shall offer a she-goat of the first year for a sin offering. 28And the priest shall make atonement for the person who sins, when he sins by an error before the LORD. to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. 29You shall have one law for him who does anything through ignorance, both for the children of Israel and for the proselytes who sojourn among you. 30But the person who commits sin wittingly, whether he be of you or of the proselytes, the same blasphemes before the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from among his people. 31Because he has despised the word of the LORD and has broken his commandments, that person shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

32And while the children 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. 34And they put him in prison, because it had not been declared what should be done to him. 35And the LORD said to Moses, The man shall be surely 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 with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.

37And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 38Speak to the children of Israel and bid them that they make fringes on the borders of their mantles throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringes of the borders a ribbon of blue; 39And it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the LORD your God and do them; and that you may not go astray, seeking after your own hearts and your own mind, after which you used to go astray; 40That you may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy to 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.
