Numbers 15 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Laws for Canaan

Num 15:1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

Num 15:2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,

Num 15:3

Num 15:3and will make an offering by fire unto Jehovah, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill-offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor unto Jehovah, of the herd, or of the flock;

Num 15:4

Num 15:4then shall he that offereth his oblation offer unto Jehovah a meal-offering of a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil:

Num 15:5

Num 15:5and 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.

Num 15:6

Num 15:6Or 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:

Num 15:7

Num 15:7and for the drink-offering thou shalt offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

Num 15:8

Num 15:8And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace-offerings unto Jehovah;

Num 15:9

Num 15:9then shall he offer with the bullock a meal-offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil:

Num 15:10

Num 15:10and thou shalt offer for the drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

Num 15:11

Num 15:11Thus shall it be done for each bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids.

Num 15:12

Num 15:12According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.

Num 15:13

Num 15:13All that are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.

Law of the Sojourner

Num 15:14

Num 15:14And 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 savor unto Jehovah; as ye do, so he shall do.

Num 15:15

Num 15:15For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you, a statute for ever throughout your generations: as ye are, so shall the sojourner be before Jehovah.

Num 15:16

Num 15:16One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

Num 15:17

Num 15:17And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

Num 15:18

Num 15:18Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,

Num 15:19

Num 15:19then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave-offering unto Jehovah.

Num 15:20

Num 15:20Of the first of your dough ye shall offer up a cake for a heave-offering: as the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye heave it.

Num 15:21

Num 15:21Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto Jehovah a heave-offering throughout your generations.

Num 15:22

Num 15:22And when ye shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses,

Num 15:23

Num 15:23even all that Jehovah hath commanded you by Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;

Num 15:24

Num 15:24then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor unto Jehovah, with the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof, according to the ordinance, and one he-goat for a sin-offering.

Num 15:25

Num 15:25And 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 oblation, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah, and their sin-offering before Jehovah, for their error:

Num 15:26

Num 15:26and 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 unwittingly.

Num 15:27

Num 15:27And if one person sin unwittingly, then he shall offer a she-goat a year old for a sin-offering.

Num 15:28

Num 15:28And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth unwittingly, before Jehovah, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.

Num 15:29

Num 15:29Ye shall have one law for him that doeth aught unwittingly, for him that is home-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.

Num 15:30

Num 15:30But the soul that doeth aught with a high hand, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, the same blasphemeth Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Num 15:31

Num 15:31Because he hath despised the word of Jehovah, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

Sabbath-breaking Punished

(Exo 31:12–17 )

Num 15:32

Num 15:32And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath day.

Num 15:33

Num 15:33And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

Num 15:34

Num 15:34And they put him in ward, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

Num 15:35

Num 15:35And Jehovah said unto Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

Num 15:36

Num 15:36And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

Num 15:37

Num 15:37And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

Num 15:38

Num 15:38Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of each border a cord of blue:

Num 15:39

Num 15:39and it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that ye follow not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to play the harlot;

Num 15:40

Num 15:40that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

Num 15:41

Num 15:41I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah your God.
