Numbers [In the desert] 15:12-37

¹²According 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 Adonai .

¹⁴If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout all your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Adonai ; as you do, so he shall do.

¹⁵For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner, a statute forever throughout all your generations. As you are, so shall the foreigner be before Adonai .

¹⁶One Torah ·Teaching· and one judgement shall be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.’” (6)

¹⁷Adonai spoke to Moses Drawn out, saying,

¹⁸“Speak to the children of Israel God prevails, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land where I bring you,

¹⁹then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Adonai .

²⁰Of 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.

²¹Of the first of your dough, you shall give to Adonai a wave offering throughout all your generations.

²²“‘If by mistake you fail to observe all these mitzvot ·instructions·, which Adonai has spoken to Moses Drawn out,

²³even all that Adonai has enjoined you by Moses Drawn out, from the day that Adonai gave commandment, and onward throughout all your generations;

²⁴then 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 Adonai , with its meal offering, and its drink offering, according to the judgement, and one male goat for a sin offering.

²⁵The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel God prevails, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Adonai , and their sin offering before Adonai , for their error.

²⁶All the congregation of the children of Israel God prevails 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. (7)

²⁷“‘If one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering.

²⁸The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errors, when he sins unwittingly before Adonai , to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.

²⁹You shall have one Torah ·Teaching· for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel God prevails, 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, the same blasphemes Adonai . That soul shall be cut off from among his people.

³¹Because he has despised Adonai ’s word, and has broken his order, that soul shall utterly be cut off. His iniquity shall be on him.’”

³²While the children of Israel God prevails were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath ·To cease· day.

³³Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses Drawn out and Aaron Light-bringer, and to all the congregation.

³⁴They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

³⁵Adonai said to Moses Drawn out, “The man shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp.”

³⁶All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as Adonai enjoined Moses Drawn out. (Maftir ·Conclusion·)
