Numbers 15

1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them: when ye be come into the lande of your habitations, whiche I geue vnto you:3 And will make an offering by fire vnto the Lorde, namely a burnt offering, or a sacrifice to fulfill a vowe, or a free offering, or in your principall feastes, to make a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde, of the heard, or of the flocke:4 Then let hym that offereth his offering vnto the Lord, bryng also a meate offering of a tenth deale of floure, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oyle.5 And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drinke offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering, or any other offering, for one lambe.6 Or if it be a ramme, thou shalt prepare for a meate offering two tenth deales of floure, mingled with the thirde part of an hin of oyle.7 And for a drinke offering, thou shalt offer the thirde part of an hin of wine, for a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde.8 And when thou preparest a bullocke for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice to fulfill a vowe or peace offering vnto the Lorde:9 Let him bring with a bullocke a meate offering of three tenth deales of floure, mingled with halfe an hin of oyle.10 And thou shalt bryng for a drinke offering, euen halfe an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde.11 After this maner shall it be done for a bullocke, or for a ramme, or for a lambe, or a kid,12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to euery one, accordyng to their number.13 All that are borne of the countrey, shal do these thynges after this maner, to offer an offering made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde.14 And if a straunger soiourne with you, or whosoeuer be among you in your generations, and wyll offer an offering made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde: euen as ye do, so he shall do.15 One ordinaunce shalbe both for you of the cogregation, and also for the straunger that dwelleth [with you:] It shalbe an ordinaunce for euer in your generations: as ye are, so shall the straunger be before the Lorde.16 One lawe and one maner shall serue, both for you, and for the straunger that soiourneth with you.17 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:18 Speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and say vnto them: When ye be come into the land to the which I bring you,19 Then when ye wyll eate of the bread of the lande, ye shall offer vp an heaue offering vnto the Lorde.20 Ye shall offer vp a cake of the first of your dowe for an heaue offering: as ye do the heaue offering of the barne, euen so ye shall heaue it.21 Of the first of your dowe ye shall geue vnto the Lorde an heaue offering in your generations.

22 And if ye haue erred, and obserue not all these commaundementes which the Lorde hath spoken vnto Moyses,23 Euen all that the Lorde hath commaunded you by the hande of Moyses, from the [first] day that the Lorde commaunded Moyses, and hence forwarde among your generations.24 Yf ought be committed ignorauntly of the congregation, al the multitude shall offer a bullocke for a burnt offering, to be a sweete sauour vnto the Lord, with the meate offering and drinke offering therto accordyng to the maner, and an hee goate for a sinne offering.25 And the priest shall make an attonement for all the multitude of the chyldren of Israel, and it shalbe forgeuen them, for it is ignoraunce: And they shal bryng their offering, a sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord, & their sinne offering before the Lorde for their ignoraunce.26 And it shalbe forgeuen vnto all the congregation of the chyldren of Israel, and vnto the straunger that dwelleth among you, seyng all the people were in ignoraunce.27 If any one soule sinne through ignoraunce, he shall bryng a shee goate of a yere olde for a sinne offering.28 And the priest shall make an attonement for the soule that sinneth ignorauntly, when he sinneth by ignoraunce before the Lorde to reconcile hym, and that it may be forgeuen hym.29 And both thou that art borne of the chyldren of Israel, and the strannger that dwelleth among you, shall haue one lawe who so doth sinne thorowe ignoraunce.

30 But the soule that doth ought presumptuously, whether he be borne in the lande or a straunger, the same blasphemeth the Lorde: and that soule shalbe cut of from among his people.31 Because he hath despised the worde of the Lorde, and hath broken his commaundement, that soule therefore shalbe vtterly cut of, and his sinne shalbe vppon hym.32 And whyle the chyldre of Israel were in the wyldernesse, they founde a man that gathered stickes vpon the Sabbath day.33 And they that founde hym gathering stickes, brought hym vnto Moyses and Aaron, and vnto all the congregation.34 And they put hym in warde, seyng it was not declared what shoulde be done to hym.35 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Let the man dye, & let all the multitude stone him with stones without ye hoast.36 And all the multitude brought hym without the hoast, and stoned hym with stones, and he dyed, as the Lorde commaunded Moyses.

37 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:38 Speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and byd them, that they make them fringes in the borders of their garmentes throughout their generations, and put vpon the fringe of the borders a ribande of blewe silke.39 And the fringe shalbe vnto you to loke vpon, that ye may remember all the comaundementes of the Lorde, and do them: and that ye seeke not after your owne heart, or your owne eyes, after the which ye vse to go a whoryng.40 But ye shall remember rather, and do all my commaundementes, and be holy vnto your God.41 I am the Lorde your God, which brought you out of the lande of Egypt, for to be your God: I am the Lorde your God.
