Numbers 15 · Parashat Shelach

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, When you come to the land of your habitations, which I give to you,

and will make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, in performing a pronounced 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:

then shall he that offers his offering to the Lord bring a meal offering of a tenth measure of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil.

And the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.

Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meal offering two tenth measures of flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil.

And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of a hin of wine, for a sweet savour to the Lord.

And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, in performing a pronounced vow, or in offering a peace offering to the Lord:

then shall he bring with a bullock a meal offering of three tenth measures of flour mingled with half a hin of oil.

And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord.

Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.

According to the number that you shall prepare, so shall you do to every one according to their number.

All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord.

And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the Lord; as you do, so he shall do.

One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourns with you, an ordinance for ever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.

One Tora and one code shall there be for you, and for the stranger that sojourns with you.

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, When you come into the land into which I bring you,

then it shall be, that, when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a gift to the Lord.

You shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for a gift: as you do the gift of the threshingfloor, so shall you set it apart.

Of the first of your dough you shall give to the Lord an offering throughout your generations.

And if you have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the Lord spoke to Moshe,

all that the Lord has commanded you by the hand of Moshe, from the day that the Lord gave command, and henceforward throughout your generations;

then it shall be, if it be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that 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, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.

And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Yisra᾽el, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance, and they have brought their offering, a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their ignorance.

And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Yisra᾽el, and the stranger that sojourns among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.

And if a single person sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.

And the priest shall make atonement for the person that sins ignorantly, when he sins by ignorance before the Lord, to make atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

You shall have one Tora for him who sins through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Yisra᾽el, and for the stranger that sojourns among them.

But the person that acts presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, that person dishonours the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Because he has despised the word of the Lord, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

And while the children of Yisra᾽el were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath day.

And they that found him gathering sticks brought him to Moshe and Aharon, and to all the congregation.

And they put him in custody, because it was not declared what should be done to him.

And the Lord said to Moshe, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.

And all the congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moshe.

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and bid them that they make them fringes in the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of each corner a thread of blue:

and it shall be to you as a fringe, that you may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that you seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you go astray:

that you may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Miżrayim, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.
