1 Adonaisaid to Moshe,
2 “Tell the people of Isra’el, ‘When you have come into the land where you are going to live, which I am giving to you,
3 and want to make an offering by fire toAdonai— a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a special vow, or to be a voluntary offering, or at your designated times, to make a fragrant aroma forAdonai— then, whether it is comes from the herd or from the flock,
4 the person bringing the offering is to presentAdonaiwith a grain offering consisting of two quarts of fine flour mixed with one quart of olive oil,
5 and one quart of wine for the drink offering. This is what you are to prepare with the burnt offering or for each lamb sacrificed.
6 “‘For a ram, prepare one gallon of fine flour mixed with one-and-one-third quarts of olive oil;
7 while for the drink offering, you are to present one-and-one-third quarts of wine as a fragrant aroma forAdonai.
(v)
8 “‘When you prepare a bull as a burnt offering, as a sacrifice to fulfill a special vow or as peace offerings forAdonai,
9 there is to be presented with the bull a grain offering of one-and-a-half gallons of fine flour mixed with two quarts of olive oil.
10 For the drink offering, present two quarts of wine for an offering made by fire, a fragant aroma forAdonai.
11 “‘Do it this way for each bull, ram, male lamb or kid.
12 For as many animals as you prepare, do this for each one, regardless of how many animals there are.
13 “‘Every citizen is to do these things in this way when presenting an offering made by fire as a fragrant aroma forAdonai.
14 If a foreigner stays with you — or whoever may be with you, through all your generations — and he wants to bring an offering made by fire as a fragrant aroma forAdonai, he is to do the same as you.
15 For this community there will be the same law for you as for the foreigner living with you; this is a permanent regulation through all your generations; the foreigner is to be treated the same way beforeAdonaias yourselves.
16 The sameTorahand standard of judgment will apply to both you and the foreigner living with you.’”
(vi)
17 Adonaisaid to Moshe,
18 “Speak to the people of Isra’el; tell them, ‘When you enter the land where I am bringing you
19 and eat bread produced in the land, you are to set aside a portion as a gift forAdonai.
20 Set aside from your first dough a cake as a gift; set it aside as you would set aside a portion of the grain from the threshing-floor.
21 From your first dough you will giveAdonaia portion as a gift through all your generations.
22 “‘If by mistake you fail to observe all thesemitzvotthatAdonaihas spoken to Moshe,
23 yes, everything thatAdonaihas ordered you to do through Moshe, from the dayAdonaigave the order and onward through all your generations,
24 then, if it was done by mistake by the community and was not known to them, the whole community is to offer one young bull for a burnt offering as a fragrant aroma toAdonai, with its grain and drink offerings, in keeping with the rule, and one male goat as a sin offering.
25 Thecohenis to make atonement for the whole community of the people of Isra’el; and they will be forgiven; because it was a mistake; and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire, toAdonai, and their sin offering beforeAdonaifor their mistake.
26 The whole community of the people of Isra’el will be forgiven, likewise the foreigner staying with them; because for all the people it was a mistake.
(vii)
27 “‘If an individual sins by mistake, he is to offer a female goat in its first year as a sin offering.
28 Thecohenwill make atonement beforeAdonaifor the person who makes a mistake by sinning inadvertently; he will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven —
29 no matter whether he is a citizen of Isra’el or a foreigner living with them. You are to have one law for whoever it is that does something wrong by mistake.
30 “‘But an individual who does something wrong intentionally, whether a citizen or a foreigner, is blasphemingAdonai. That person will be cut off from his people.
31 Because he has had contempt for the word ofAdonaiand has disobeyed his command, that person will be cut off completely; his offense will remain with him.’”
32 While the people of Isra’el were in the desert, they found a man gathering wood onShabbat.
33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moshe, Aharon and the whole congregation.
34 They kept him in custody, because it had not yet been decided what to do to him.
35 ThenAdonaisaid to Moshe, “This man must be put to death; the entire community is to stone him to death outside the camp.”
36 So the whole community brought him outside the camp and threw stones at him until he died, asAdonaihad ordered Moshe.
(Maftir)
37 Adonaisaid to Moshe,
38 “Speak to the people of Isra’el, instructing them to make, through all their generations,tzitziyoton the corners of their garments, and to put with thetzitziton each corner a blue thread.
39 It is to be atzitzitfor you to look at and thereby remember all ofAdonai’smitzvotand obey them, so that you won’t go around wherever your own heart and eyes lead you to prostitute yourselves;
40 but it will help you remember and obey all mymitzvotand be holy for your God.
41 I amAdonaiyour God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt in order to be your God. I amAdonaiyour God.”
