BEMIḎBAR 15 (Numbers 15)

1 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spoke to Mosheh, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When you have come into the land of your dwellings, which I am giving you,

3 and you make an offering by fire to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, a burnt offering or a slaughtering, to accomplish a vow or as a voluntary offering or in your Appointed Times, to make a sweet fragrance to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, from the herd or the flock,

4 then he who brings near his offering to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall bring near a grain offering of one-tenth part of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of oil,

5 and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering you prepare with the burnt offering or the slaughtering, for each lamb.

6 ‘Or for a ram you prepare as a grain offering two-tenth parts of fine flour mixed with one-third of a hin of oil,

7 and as a drink offering you bring one-third of a hin of wine as a sweet fragrance to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

8 ‘And when you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering, or as a slaughtering to accomplish a vow, or as a peace offering to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,

9 then shall be brought with the young bull a grain offering of three-tenth parts of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil,

10 and bring as the drink offering half a hin of wine as an offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

11 ‘This is what is done for each young bull, for each ram, or for each lamb or young goat.

12 ‘According to the number that you prepare, so you do for each one according to their number.

13 ‘Let all who are native do so with them, in bringing near an offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

14 ‘And when a stranger sojourns with you, or whoever is among you throughout your generations, and would make an offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, as you do, so he does.

15 ‘One Law is for you of the assembly and for the stranger who sojourns with you – a Law forever throughout your generations. As you are, so is the stranger before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

16 ‘One Torah and one Right-Ruling is for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.’ ”

17 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spoke to Mosheh, saying,

18 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When you come into the land to which I bring you,

19 then it shall be, when you eat of the bread of the land, that you present a contribution to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.

20 ‘Present a cake of the first of your dough as a contribution – as a contribution of the threshing-floor you present it.

21 ‘Of the first of your dough you are to give to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 a contribution throughout your generations.

22 ‘And when you sin by mistake, and do not do all these Commands which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has spoken to Mosheh,

23 all that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 has commanded you by the hand of Mosheh, from the day 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 gave command and onward throughout your generations,

24 then it shall be, if it is done by mistake, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall prepare one young bull as a burnt offering, as a sweet fragrance to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the Right-Ruling, and one male goat as a sin offering.

25 ‘Then the kohĕn shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, and it shall be forgiven them, for it was by mistake. And they shall bring their offering, an offering made by fire to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and their sin offering before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, for their mistake.

26 ‘And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl and the stranger who sojourns in their midst, because all the people did it by mistake.

27 ‘And if a being sins by mistake, then he shall bring a female goat a year old as a sin offering.

28 ‘And the kohĕn shall make atonement for the being who strays by mistake, when he sins by mistake before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, to make atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

29 ‘For him who makes a mistake there is one Torah, both for him who is native among the children of Yisra’ĕl and for the stranger who sojourns in their midst.

30 ‘But the being who acts defiantly, whether he is native or a stranger, he reviles 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and that being shall be cut off from among his people.

31 ‘Because he has despised the Word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and has broken His Command, that being shall certainly be cut off, his wickedness is upon him.’ ”

32 And while the children of Yisra’ĕl were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Shabbath day.

33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Mosheh and to Aharon, and to all the congregation.

34 And they put him in under guard, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

35 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said to Mosheh, “The man shall certainly be put to death, all the congregation stoning him with stones outside the camp.”

36 And all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded Mosheh, and he died.

37 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spoke to Mosheh, saying,

38 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them to make tsitsit on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue cord in the tsitsit of the corners.

39 “And it shall be to you for a tsitsit, and you shall see it, and shall remember all the Commands of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and shall do them, and not search after your own heart and your own eyes after which you went whoring,

40 so that you remember, and shall do all My Commands, and be qodesh unto your Elohim.

41 “I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, to be your Elohim. I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim.”
