Numbers 15 (WEBP)
[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[2] “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,
[3] and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh—a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a free will offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock—
[4] then he who offers his offering shall offer to Yahweh a meal offering of one tenth of an ephah° of fine flour mixed with one fourth of a hin° of oil.
[5] You shall prepare wine for the drink offering, one fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
[6] “‘For a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenths of an ephah° of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil;
[7] and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
[8] When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh,
[9] then he shall offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenths of an ephah° of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil;
[10] and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
[11] Thus it shall be done for each bull, for each ram, for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats.
[12] According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number.
[13] “‘All who are native-born shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
[14] If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, as you do, so he shall do.
[15] For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner, a statute forever throughout your generations. As you are, so the foreigner shall be before Yahweh.
[16] One law and one ordinance shall be for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.’”
[17] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[18] “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land where I bring you,
[19] then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh.
[20] Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering. As the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it.
[21] Of the first of your dough, you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations.
[22] “‘When you err, and don’t observe all these commandments which Yahweh has spoken to Moses—
[23] even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment and onward throughout your generations—
[24] then it shall be, if it was done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, with its meal offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.
[25] 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 offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error.
[26] All the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, as well as the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for with regard to all the people, it was done unwittingly.
[27] “‘If a person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering.
[28] The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs when he sins unwittingly before Yahweh. He shall make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.
[29] You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.
[30] “‘But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, blasphemes Yahweh. That soul shall be cut off from among his people.
[31] Because he has despised Yahweh’s word, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall be utterly cut off. His iniquity shall be on him.’”
[32] While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.
[33] Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
[34] They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
[35] Yahweh said to Moses, “The man shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp.”
[36] All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
[37] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[38] “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they should make themselves fringes§ on the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe§ of each border a cord of blue.
[39] It shall be to you for a fringe,§ that you may see it, and remember all Yahweh’s commandments, and do them; and that you don’t follow your own heart and your own eyes, after which you used to play the prostitute;
[40] so that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.
[41] I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God.”

Numbers 15 (KJVS)
[1] And the Lord H3068 spake H1696 (PielImpf) unto Moses, H4872 saying, H559 (QalInf)
[2] Speak H1696 (PielImpv) unto the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and say H559 (QalPerf) unto them, When ye be come H935 (QalImpf) into the land H776 of your habitations, H4186 which I give H5414 (QalActPtc) unto you,
[3] and will make H6213 (QalPerf) an offering by fire H801 unto the Lord, H3068 a burnt offering, H5930 or a sacrifice H2077 in performing§ H6381 (PielInf) a vow, H5088 or in a freewill offering, H5071 or in your solemn feasts, H4150 to make H6213 (QalInf) a sweet H5207 savour H7381 unto the Lord, H3068 of the herd, H1241 or of the flock: H6629
[4] then shall he that offereth H7126 (HiphPtc) his offering H7133 unto the Lord H3068 bring H7126 (HiphPerf) a meat offering H4503 of a tenth deal H6241 of flour H5560 mingled H1101 (QalPasPtc) with the fourth H7243 part of an hin H1969 of oil. H8081
[5] And the fourth H7243 part of an hin H1969 of wine H3196 for a drink offering H5262 shalt thou prepare H6213 (QalImpf) with the burnt offering H5930 or sacrifice, H2077 for one H259 lamb. H3532
[6] Or for a ram, H352 thou shalt prepare H6213 (QalImpf) for a meat offering H4503 two H8147 tenth deals H6241 of flour H5560 mingled H1101 (QalPasPtc) with the third H7992 part of an hin H1969 of oil. H8081
[7] And for a drink offering H5262 thou shalt offer H7126 (HiphImpf) the third H7992 part of an hin H1969 of wine, H3196 for a sweet H5207 savour H7381 unto the Lord. H3068
[8] And when thou preparest H6213 (QalImpf) a bullock H1121 H1241 for a burnt offering, H5930 or for a sacrifice H2077 in performing H6381 (PielInf) a vow, H5088 or peace offerings H8002 unto the Lord: H3068
[9] then shall he bring H7126 (HiphPerf) with a bullock H1241 H1121 a meat offering H4503 of three H7969 tenth deals H6241 of flour H5560 mingled H1101 (QalPasPtc) with half H2677 an hin H1969 of oil. H8081
[10] And thou shalt bring H7126 (HiphImpf) for a drink offering H5262 half H2677 an hin H1969 of wine, H3196 for an offering made by fire, H801 of a sweet H5207 savour H7381 unto the Lord. H3068
[11] Thus shall it be done H6213 (NiphImpf) for one H259 bullock, H7794 or for one H259 ram, H352 or for a lamb, H3532 H7716 or a kid. H5795
[12] According to the number H4557 that ye shall prepare, H6213 (QalImpf) so H3602 shall ye do H6213 (QalImpf) to every one H259 according to their number. H4557
[13] All that are born of the country H249 shall do H6213 (QalImpf) these things after this manner, in offering H7126 (HiphInf) an offering made by fire, H801 of a sweet H5207 savour H7381 unto the Lord. H3068
[14] And if a stranger H1616 sojourn H1481 (QalImpf) with you, or whosoever be among H8432 you in your generations, H1755 and will offer H6213 (QalPerf) an offering made by fire, H801 of a sweet H5207 savour H7381 unto the Lord; H3068 as ye do, H6213 (QalImpf) so he shall do. H6213 (QalImpf)
[15] One H259 ordinance H2708 shall be both for you of the congregation, H6951 and also for the stranger H1616 that sojourneth H1481 (QalActPtc) with you, an ordinance H2708 for ever H5769 in your generations: H1755 as ye are, so shall the stranger H1616 be before H6440 the Lord. H3068
[16] One H259 law H8451 and one H259 manner H4941 shall be for you, and for the stranger H1616 that sojourneth H1481 (QalActPtc) with you.
[17] And the Lord H3068 spake H1696 (PielImpf) unto Moses, H4872 saying, H559 (QalInf)
[18] Speak H1696 (PielImpv) unto the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and say H559 (QalPerf) unto them, When ye come H935 (QalInf) into the land H776 whither I bring H935 (HiphPtc) you,
[19] then it shall be, that, when ye eat H398 (QalInf) of the bread H3899 of the land, H776 ye shall offer up H7311 (HiphImpf) an heave offering H8641 unto the Lord. H3068
[20] Ye shall offer up H7311 (HiphImpf) a cake H2471 of the first H7225 of your dough H6182 for an heave offering: H8641 as ye do the heave offering H8641 of the threshingfloor, H1637 so shall ye heave H7311 (HiphImpf) it.
[21] Of the first H7225 of your dough H6182 ye shall give H5414 (QalImpf) unto the Lord H3068 an heave offering H8641 in your generations. H1755
[22] And if ye have erred, H7686 (QalImpf) and not observed H6213 (QalImpf) all these commandments, H4687 which the Lord H3068 hath spoken H1696 (PielPerf) unto Moses, H4872
[23] even all that the Lord H3068 hath commanded H6680 (PielPerf) you by the hand H3027 of Moses, H4872 from the day H3117 that the Lord H3068 commanded H6680 (PielPerf) Moses, and henceforward H1973 among your generations; H1755
[24] then it shall be, if ought be committed H6213 (NiphPerf) by ignorance H7684 without the knowledge§ H5869 of the congregation, H5712 that all the congregation H5712 shall offer H6213 (QalPerf) one H259 young H1121 H1241 bullock H6499 for a burnt offering, H5930 for a sweet H5207 savour H7381 unto the Lord, H3068 with his meat offering, H4503 and his drink offering, H5262 according to the manner,§ H4941 and one H259 kid H8163 of the goats H5795 for a sin offering. H2403
[25] And the priest H3548 shall make an atonement H3722 (PielPerf) for all the congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and it shall be forgiven H5545 (NiphPerf) them; for it is ignorance: H7684 and they shall bring H935 (HiphPerf) their offering, H7133 a sacrifice made by fire H801 unto the Lord, H3068 and their sin offering H2403 before H6440 the Lord, H3068 for their ignorance: H7684
[26] and it shall be forgiven H5545 (NiphPerf) all the congregation H5712 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and the stranger H1616 that sojourneth H1481 (QalActPtc) among H8432 them; seeing all the people H5971 were in ignorance. H7684
[27] And if any H259 soul H5315 sin H2398 (QalImpf) through ignorance, H7684 then he shall bring H7126 (HiphPerf) a she goat H5795 of the first H1323 year H8141 for a sin offering. H2403
[28] And the priest H3548 shall make an atonement H3722 (PielPerf) for the soul H5315 that sinneth ignorantly, H7683 (QalActPtc) when he sinneth H2398 (QalInf) by ignorance H7684 before H6440 the Lord, H3068 to make an atonement H3722 (PielInf) for him; and it shall be forgiven H5545 (NiphPerf) him.
[29] Ye shall have one H259 law H8451 for him that sinneth§ H6213 (QalActPtc) through ignorance, H7684 both for him that is born H249 among the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and for the stranger H1616 that sojourneth H1481 (QalActPtc) among H8432 them.
[30] But the soul H5315 that doeth H6213 (QalImpf) ought presumptuously,§ H7311 (QalActPtc) H3027 whether he be born in the land, H249 or a stranger, H4480 H1616 the same reproacheth H1442 (PielPtc) the Lord; H3068 and that soul H5315 shall be cut off H3772 (NiphPerf) from among H7130 his people. H5971
[31] Because he hath despised H959 (QalPerf) the word H1697 of the Lord, H3068 and hath broken H6565 (HiphPerf) his commandment, H4687 that soul H5315 shall utterly H3772 (NiphInf) be cut off; H3772 (NiphImpf) his iniquity H5771 shall be upon him.
[32] And while the children H1121 of Israel H3478 were in the wilderness, H4057 they found H4672 (QalImpf) a man H376 that gathered H7197 (PoelPtc) sticks H6086 upon the sabbath H7676 day. H3117
[33] And they that found H4672 (QalActPtc) him gathering H7197 (PoelPtc) sticks H6086 brought H7126 (HiphImpf) him unto Moses H4872 and Aaron, H175 and unto all the congregation. H5712
[34] And they put H3240 (HiphImpf) him in ward, H4929 because it was not declared H6567 (PualPerf) what should be done H6213 (NiphImpf) to him.
[35] And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Moses, H4872 The man H376 shall be surely H4191 (QalInf) put to death: H4191 (HophImpf) all the congregation H5712 shall stone H7275 (QalInf) him with stones H68 without H2351 the camp. H4264
[36] And all the congregation H5712 brought H3318 (HiphImpf) him without H2351 the camp, H4264 and stoned H7275 (QalImpf) him with stones, H68 and he died; H4191 (QalImpf) as the Lord H3068 commanded H6680 (PielPerf) Moses. H4872
[37] And the Lord H3068 spake H559 (QalImpf) unto Moses, H4872 saying, H559 (QalInf)
[38] Speak H1696 (PielImpv) unto the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and bid H559 (QalPerf) them that they make H6213 (QalPerf) them fringes H6734 in the borders H3671 of their garments H899 throughout their generations, H1755 and that they put H5414 (QalPerf) upon the fringe H6734 of the borders H3671 a ribband H6616 of blue: H8504
[39] and it shall be unto you for a fringe, H6734 that ye may look H7200 (QalPerf) upon it, and remember H2142 (QalPerf) all the commandments H4687 of the Lord, H3068 and do H6213 (QalPerf) them; and that ye seek H8446 (QalImpf) not after H310 your own heart H3824 and your own eyes, H5869 after H310 which ye use to go a whoring: H2181 (QalActPtc)
[40] that ye may remember, H2142 (QalImpf) and do H6213 (QalPerf) all my commandments, H4687 and be H1961 (QalPerf) holy H6918 unto your God. H430
[41] I am the Lord H3068 your God, H430 which brought you out H3318 (HiphPerf) of the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 to be your God: H430 I am the Lord H3068 your God. H430

[1] και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων
[2] λαλησον τοις υιοις ισραηλ και ερεις προς αυτους οταν εισελθητε εις την γην της κατοικησεως υμων ην εγω διδωμι υμιν
[3] και ποιησεις ολοκαυτωματα κυριω ολοκαρπωμα η θυσιαν μεγαλυναι ευχην η καθ εκουσιον η εν ταις εορταις υμων ποιησαι οσμην ευωδιας κυριω ει μεν απο των βοων η απο των προβατων
[4] και προσοισει ο προσφερων το δωρον αυτου κυριω θυσιαν σεμιδαλεως δεκατον του οιφι αναπεποιημενης εν ελαιω εν τεταρτω του ιν
[5] και οινον εις σπονδην το τεταρτον του ιν ποιησετε επι της ολοκαυτωσεως η επι της θυσιας τω αμνω τω ενι ποιησεις τοσουτο καρπωμα οσμην ευωδιας τω κυριω
[6] και τω κριω οταν ποιητε αυτον η εις ολοκαυτωμα η εις θυσιαν ποιησεις θυσιαν σεμιδαλεως δυο δεκατα αναπεποιημενης εν ελαιω το τριτον του ιν
[7] και οινον εις σπονδην το τριτον του ιν προσοισετε εις οσμην ευωδιας κυριω
[8] εαν δε απο των βοων ποιητε εις ολοκαυτωμα η εις θυσιαν μεγαλυναι ευχην η εις σωτηριον κυριω
[9] και προσοισει επι του μοσχου θυσιαν σεμιδαλεως τρια δεκατα αναπεποιημενης εν ελαιω ημισυ του ιν
[10] και οινον εις σπονδην το ημισυ του ιν καρπωμα οσμην ευωδιας κυριω

[13] πας ο αυτοχθων ποιησει ουτως τοιαυτα προσενεγκαι καρπωματα εις οσμην ευωδιας κυριω
[14] εαν δε προσηλυτος εν υμιν προσγενηται εν τη γη υμων η ος αν γενηται εν υμιν εν ταις γενεαις υμων και ποιησει καρπωμα οσμην ευωδιας κυριω ον τροπον ποιειτε υμεις ουτως ποιησει η συναγωγη κυριω
[15] νομος εις εσται υμιν και τοις προσηλυτοις τοις προσκειμενοις εν υμιν νομος αιωνιος εις γενεας υμων ως υμεις και ο προσηλυτος εσται εναντι κυριου
[16] νομος εις εσται και δικαιωμα εν εσται υμιν και τω προσηλυτω τω προσκειμενω εν υμιν
[17] και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων
[18] λαλησον τοις υιοις ισραηλ και ερεις προς αυτους εν τω εισπορευεσθαι υμας εις την γην εις ην εγω εισαγω υμας εκει
[19] και εσται οταν εσθητε υμεις απο των αρτων της γης αφελειτε αφαιρεμα αφορισμα κυριω
[20] απαρχην φυραματος υμων αρτον αφαιρεμα αφοριειτε αυτο ως αφαιρεμα απο αλω ουτως αφελειτε αυτον
[21] απαρχην φυραματος υμων και δωσετε κυριω αφαιρεμα εις τας γενεας υμων
[22] οταν δε διαμαρτητε και μη ποιησητε πασας τας εντολας ταυτας ας ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην
[23] καθα συνεταξεν κυριος προς υμας εν χειρι μωυση απο της ημερας ης συνεταξεν κυριος προς υμας και επεκεινα εις τας γενεας υμων
[24] και εσται εαν εξ οφθαλμων της συναγωγης γενηθη ακουσιως και ποιησει πασα η συναγωγη μοσχον ενα εκ βοων αμωμον εις ολοκαυτωμα εις οσμην ευωδιας κυριω και θυσιαν τουτου και σπονδην αυτου κατα την συνταξιν και χιμαρον εξ αιγων ενα περι αμαρτιας
[25] και εξιλασεται ο ιερευς περι πασης συναγωγης υιων ισραηλ και αφεθησεται αυτοις οτι ακουσιον εστιν και αυτοι ηνεγκαν το δωρον αυτων καρπωμα κυριω περι της αμαρτιας αυτων εναντι κυριου περι των ακουσιων αυτων
[26] και αφεθησεται κατα πασαν συναγωγην υιων ισραηλ και τω προσηλυτω τω προσκειμενω προς υμας οτι παντι τω λαω ακουσιον
[27] εαν δε ψυχη μια αμαρτη ακουσιως προσαξει αιγα μιαν ενιαυσιαν περι αμαρτιας
[28] και εξιλασεται ο ιερευς περι της ψυχης της ακουσιασθεισης και αμαρτουσης ακουσιως εναντι κυριου εξιλασασθαι περι αυτου
[29] τω εγχωριω εν υιοις ισραηλ και τω προσηλυτω τω προσκειμενω εν αυτοις νομος εις εσται αυτοις ος αν ποιηση ακουσιως
[30] και ψυχη ητις ποιησει εν χειρι υπερηφανιας απο των αυτοχθονων η απο των προσηλυτων τον θεον ουτος παροξυνει εξολεθρευθησεται η ψυχη εκεινη εκ του λαου αυτης
[31] οτι το ρημα κυριου εφαυλισεν και τας εντολας αυτου διεσκεδασεν εκτριψει εκτριβησεται η ψυχη εκεινη η αμαρτια αυτης εν αυτη
[32] και ησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ εν τη ερημω και ευρον ανδρα συλλεγοντα ξυλα τη ημερα των σαββατων
[33] και προσηγαγον αυτον οι ευροντες αυτον συλλεγοντα ξυλα τη ημερα των σαββατων προς μωυσην και ααρων και προς πασαν συναγωγην υιων ισραηλ
[34] και απεθεντο αυτον εις φυλακην ου γαρ συνεκριναν τι ποιησωσιν αυτον
[35] και ελαλησεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων θανατω θανατουσθω ο ανθρωπος λιθοβολησατε αυτον λιθοις πασα η συναγωγη
[36] και εξηγαγον αυτον πασα η συναγωγη εξω της παρεμβολης και ελιθοβολησαν αυτον πασα η συναγωγη λιθοις εξω της παρεμβολης καθα συνεταξεν κυριος τω μωυση
[37] και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων
[38] λαλησον τοις υιοις ισραηλ και ερεις προς αυτους και ποιησατωσαν εαυτοις κρασπεδα επι τα πτερυγια των ιματιων αυτων εις τας γενεας αυτων και επιθησετε επι τα κρασπεδα των πτερυγιων κλωσμα υακινθινον
[39] και εσται υμιν εν τοις κρασπεδοις και οψεσθε αυτα και μνησθησεσθε πασων των εντολων κυριου και ποιησετε αυτας και ου διαστραφησεσθε οπισω των διανοιων υμων και οπισω των οφθαλμων υμων εν οις υμεις εκπορνευετε οπισω αυτων
[40] οπως αν μνησθητε και ποιησητε πασας τας εντολας μου και εσεσθε αγιοι τω θεω υμων
[41] εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων ο εξαγαγων υμας εκ γης αιγυπτου ειναι υμων θεος εγω κυριος ο θεος υμων
