献祭的条例

1耶和华吩咐摩西说: 2“你要吩咐以色列人,对他们说:你们到了我所赐给你们居住的地, 3你们要从牛群羊群中取牲畜献给耶和华为火祭,无论是燔祭或祭物,为要还所许特别的愿或甘心祭,或节期的祭,作为献给耶和华的馨香之祭, 4那献供物的要将十分之一伊法细面和四分之一欣油调和作素祭,献给耶和华。 5无论是燔祭或祭物,要为每只小绵羊预备四分之一欣酒作浇酒祭。 6要为每只公绵羊预备十分之二伊法细面,和三分之一欣油调和作素祭, 7又用三分之一欣酒作浇酒祭,献给耶和华为馨香之祭。 8你预备公牛献给耶和华作燔祭或祭物,为要还所许特别的愿,或平安祭, 9就要把十分之三伊法细面和半欣油调和作素祭,和公牛一同献上, 10又用半欣酒作浇酒祭,献给耶和华为馨香的火祭。
11“献公牛、或公绵羊、或小绵羊、或小山羊,每只都要这样处理; 12无论你们所献的数目多少,照着数目每只都要这样处理。 13凡本地人将馨香的火祭献给耶和华,都要照样处理。 14若有外人寄居在你们那里,或有人世世代代住在你们中间,愿意将馨香的火祭献给耶和华,你们怎样处理,他也要照样处理。 15至于会众,无论是你们或寄居的外人都要遵守同一条例;这是你们世世代代永远的定例。在耶和华面前,你们怎样,寄居的也要怎样。 16你们和寄居在你们那里的外人要遵守同一律法,同一典章。”
17耶和华吩咐摩西说: 18“你要吩咐以色列人,对他们说:你们到了我领你们进去的那地, 19吃那地的粮食时,要把举祭献给耶和华。 20你们要用初熟的麦子磨面,做成饼当举祭献上。你们要举上,如同举禾场的举祭。 21你们世世代代要用初熟的麦子磨面,当举祭献给耶和华。
22“你们若犯了错,不遵守耶和华所吩咐摩西的这一切命令, 23就是耶和华藉摩西一切所命令你们的,从耶和华命令的那日直到你们的世世代代, 24会众因没有察觉而犯了无心之过,全会众就要将一头公牛犊作燔祭,遵照典章把素祭和浇酒祭一同献给耶和华为馨香的祭,又要献一只公山羊作赎罪祭。 25祭司要为以色列全会众赎罪,他们就必蒙赦免,因为这是无心之过。他们要因自己的无心之过,把供物,就是向耶和华当献的火祭和赎罪祭,带到耶和华面前。 26以色列全会众和寄居在他们中间的外人就必蒙赦免,因为这是众百姓的无心之过。
27“若有一个人无意中犯了罪,他就要献一只一岁的母山羊作赎罪祭。 28这误犯罪的人因无意中犯了罪,祭司要在耶和华面前为他赎罪,他就必蒙赦免。 29以色列中的本地人和寄居在他们中间的外人,若无意中犯了罪,都要遵守同一律法。 30但那故意犯罪的人,无论是本地人是寄居的,亵渎了耶和华,这人必从百姓中剪除。 31因为他藐视耶和华的话,违背耶和华的命令,这人一定要剪除;他的罪孽要归到自己身上。”

违反安息日的人

32以色列人还在旷野的时候,发现有一个人在安息日捡柴。 33发现他捡柴的人把他带到摩西亚伦以及全会众那里。 34他们把他收押在监里,因为还不知道要怎样惩罚他。 35耶和华吩咐摩西说:“这人应当处死;全会众要在营外用石头打死他。” 36于是全会众把他带到营外,用石头打死他,是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的。

有关衣服繸子的条例

37耶和华对摩西说: 38“你吩咐以色列人,对他们说,他们世世代代要在衣服边上缝繸子,并在边上的繸子钉一条蓝色带子。 39你们要佩带这繸子,好叫你们看见它就记起耶和华一切的命令,并且遵行,不随从自己内心和眼目的情欲而跟着行淫。 40这样,你们就必记得并遵行我一切的命令,成为圣,归你们的上帝。
41“我是耶和华-你们的上帝,曾把你们从埃及地领出来,要作你们的上帝。我是耶和华-你们的上帝。”

Laws of Grain and Drink Offerings

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you have come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving to you, 3and you make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or in your appointed feasts, to make a sweet aroma to the Lord, from the herd or the flock, 4then he who presents his offering to the Lord shall bring a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of oil; 5and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering you shall prepare with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each lamb. 6Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-third of a hin of oil; 7and as a drink offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a sweet aroma to the Lord. 8And when you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a peace offering to the Lord, 9then shall be offered with the young bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil; 10and you shall bring as the drink offering half a hin of wine as an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.
11‘Thus it shall be done for each young bull, for each ram, or for each lamb or young goat. 12According to the number that you prepare, so you shall do with everyone according to their number. 13All who are native-born shall do these things in this manner, in presenting an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. 14And if a stranger dwells with you, or whoever is among you throughout your generations, and would present an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord, just as you do, so shall he do. 15One ordinance shall be for you of the assembly and for the stranger who dwells with you, an ordinance forever throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord. 16One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who dwells with you.’ ”
17Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land to which I bring you, 19then it will be, when you eat of the bread of the land, that you shall offer up a heave offering to the Lord. 20You shall offer up a cake of the first of your ground meal asa heave offering; as a heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall you offer it up. 21Of the first of your ground meal you shall give to the Lord a heave offering throughout your generations.

Laws Concerning Unintentional Sin

22‘If you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to Moses— 23all that the Lord has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day the Lord gave commandment and onward throughout your generations— 24then it will be, if it is unintentionally committed, without the knowledge of the congregation, that the whole congregation shall offer one young bull as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats as a sin offering. 25So the priest shall make atonement for the whole congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it was unintentional; they shall bring their offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their unintended sin. 26It shall be forgiven the whole congregation of the children of Israel and the stranger who dwells among them, because all the people did it unintentionally.
27‘And if a person sins unintentionally, then he shall bring a female goat in its first year as a sin offering. 28So the priest shall make atonement for the person who sins unintentionally, when he sins unintentionally before the Lord, to make atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. 29You shall have one law for him who sins unintentionally, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel and for the stranger who dwells among them.

Law Concerning Presumptuous Sin

30‘But the person who does anything presumptuously, whether he is native-born or a stranger, that one brings reproach on the Lord, and he shall be cut off from among his people. 31Because he has despised the word of the Lord, and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his guilt shall be upon him.’ ”

Penalty for Violating the Sabbath

32Now 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. 34They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.
35Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.

Tassels on Garments

37Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 38“Speak to the children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners. 39And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, 40and that you may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy for 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.”
