1 - The LORD 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 The LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to The LORD, of the herd, or of the flock;

4 - then he who offers his offering shall offer to the LORD a meal offering of one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil.

5 - You shall prepare wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.

6 - "'Or 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 The LORD.

8 - When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to The LORD;

9 - then shall he 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 The LORD.

11 - Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, or 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 The LORD.

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 The LORD; 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 shall the foreigner be before The LORD.

16 - One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.'"

17 - The LORD 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 The LORD.

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 the LORD a wave offering throughout your generations.

22 - "'When you err, and don't observe all these commandments, which the LORD has spoken to Moses,

23 - even all that the LORD has commanded you by Moses, from the day that the LORD 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 The LORD, 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 The LORD, and their sin offering before The LORD, 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 one 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 The LORD, to 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, the same blasphemes The LORD. That soul shall be cut off from among his people.

31 - Because he has despised The LORD's word, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be 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 - The LORD 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 the LORD commanded Moses.
