Leis acerca das ofertas

15 Então o Senhor disse a Moisés: “Dê as seguintes instruções ao povo de Israel.

“Quando vocês se estabelecerem na terra que eu lhes dou, apresentarão ofertas especiais como aroma agradável ao Senhor. Essas ofertas poderão ser apresentadas de diferentes formas: um holocausto, um sacrifício para cumprir um voto, uma oferta voluntária ou uma oferta em alguma das festas anuais, e serão de seus rebanhos de bois ou ovelhas. Quando apresentarem essas ofertas, também entregarão ao Senhor uma oferta de cereal de dois litros[a] de farinha da melhor qualidade misturada com um litro[b] de azeite. Para cada cordeiro apresentado como holocausto ou sacrifício, vocês entregarão também um litro de vinho como oferta derramada.

“Se o sacrifício for um carneiro, apresentem uma oferta de cereal de quatro litros[c] de farinha da melhor qualidade misturada com um litro e um terço[d] de azeite e um litro e um terço de vinho como oferta derramada. Será um aroma agradável ao Senhor.

“Quando apresentarem um novilho como holocausto, como sacrifício para cumprir um voto, ou como oferta de paz ao Senhor, também entregarão uma oferta de cereal de seis litros[e] de farinha da melhor qualidade misturada com dois litros[f] de azeite 10 e dois litros de vinho como oferta derramada. Será uma oferta especial, um aroma agradável ao Senhor.

11 “Cada sacrifício de novilho, carneiro, cordeiro ou cabrito deverá ser preparado dessa maneira. 12 Sigam essas instruções para cada sacrifício que apresentarem. 13 Todos os israelitas de nascimento seguirão essas instruções quando apresentarem uma oferta especial como aroma agradável ao Senhor. 14 E, se algum estrangeiro que os visita ou que vive entre vocês ou entre seus descendentes quiser apresentar uma oferta especial como aroma agradável ao Senhor, deverá seguir os mesmos procedimentos. 15 Os israelitas de nascimento e os estrangeiros são iguais diante do Senhor e estão sujeitos aos mesmos decretos da comunidade. Essa é uma lei permanente para vocês, a ser cumprida de geração em geração. 16 As mesmas instruções e ordens se aplicam tanto a vocês como aos estrangeiros que vivem em seu meio”.

17 Então o Senhor disse a Moisés: 18 “Dê as seguintes instruções ao povo de Israel.

“Quando chegarem à terra para onde os levo 19 e comerem das colheitas que ela produz, separarão uma parte como oferta para o Senhor. 20 Apresentem um bolo feito da primeira farinha que moerem e separem-no como oferta, como fazem com os primeiros cereais da eira. 21 Todas as gerações futuras apresentarão ao Senhor uma oferta da primeira farinha que moerem.

22 “Se vocês, sem intenção, deixarem de cumprir todos esses mandamentos que o Senhor ordenou a Moisés, 23 sim, tudo que o Senhor lhes ordenou por meio de Moisés, desde o dia em que ele o ordenou, para vocês e para as gerações futuras, 24 e a comunidade não se der conta de seu erro, toda a comunidade apresentará um novilho como holocausto de aroma agradável ao Senhor. O sacrifício será apresentado junto com a oferta de cereal e a oferta derramada, conforme prescrito, e também com um bode como oferta pelo pecado. 25 Com essa oferta, o sacerdote fará expiação por toda a comunidade de Israel, e ela será perdoada. O pecado não foi intencional e foi expiado com as ofertas apresentadas ao Senhor, a oferta especial e a oferta pelo pecado. 26 Toda a comunidade de Israel será perdoada, incluindo os estrangeiros que vivem entre vocês, pois o pecado envolveu todo o povo.

27 “Se um único indivíduo cometer um pecado não intencional, apresentará uma cabra de um ano como oferta pelo pecado. 28 O sacerdote a sacrificará a fim de fazer expiação pelo culpado diante do Senhor, e ele será perdoado. 29 Essas instruções sobre o pecado involuntário se aplicam tanto aos israelitas de nascimento como aos estrangeiros que vivem em seu meio.

30 “Mas aquele que arrogantemente fizer algo contrário à vontade de Deus, seja israelita de nascimento ou estrangeiro, blasfema contra o Senhor e deverá ser eliminado do meio do povo. 31 Uma vez que tratou a palavra do Senhor com desprezo e desobedeceu à sua ordem de propósito, deverá ser eliminado e sofrer o castigo por sua culpa”.

O castigo por não guardar o sábado

32 Certo dia, enquanto o povo de Israel estava no deserto, encontraram um homem recolhendo lenha no sábado. 33 As pessoas que o encontraram recolhendo lenha o levaram perante Moisés, Arão e o restante da comunidade. 34 Como ainda não estava determinado o que fariam com ele, mantiveram o homem preso. 35 Então o Senhor disse a Moisés: “O homem deve ser executado! Toda a comunidade o apedrejará fora do acampamento”. 36 Assim, toda a comunidade levou o homem para fora do acampamento e o apedrejou até a morte, conforme o Senhor havia ordenado a Moisés.

Franjas nas roupas

37 O Senhor disse a Moisés: 38 “Dê as seguintes instruções ao povo de Israel. Vocês e as gerações futuras farão franjas na bainha da roupa e as prenderão com um fio azul. 39 Quando virem as franjas, recordarão todos os mandamentos do Senhor e os cumprirão. Assim, não serão infiéis, seguindo os desejos de seu coração e de seus olhos. 40 As franjas os ajudarão a lembrar que devem obedecer a todos os meus mandamentos e ser santos para o seu Deus. 41 Eu sou o Senhor, seu Deus, que os tirou da terra do Egito para ser o seu Deus. Eu sou o Senhor, seu Deus”.

Supplementary Offerings

15 The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘After you enter the land I am giving you(A) as a home and you present to the Lord food offerings from the herd or the flock,(B) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord(C)—whether burnt offerings(D) or sacrifices, for special vows or freewill offerings(E) or festival offerings(F) then the person who brings an offering shall present to the Lord a grain offering(G) of a tenth of an ephah[a] of the finest flour(H) mixed with a quarter of a hin[b] of olive oil. With each lamb(I) for the burnt offering or the sacrifice, prepare a quarter of a hin of wine(J) as a drink offering.(K)

“‘With a ram(L) prepare a grain offering(M) of two-tenths of an ephah[c](N) of the finest flour mixed with a third of a hin[d] of olive oil,(O) and a third of a hin of wine(P) as a drink offering.(Q) Offer it as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(R)

“‘When you prepare a young bull(S) as a burnt offering or sacrifice, for a special vow(T) or a fellowship offering(U) to the Lord, bring with the bull a grain offering(V) of three-tenths of an ephah[e](W) of the finest flour mixed with half a hin[f] of olive oil, 10 and also bring half a hin of wine(X) as a drink offering.(Y) This will be a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(Z) 11 Each bull or ram, each lamb or young goat, is to be prepared in this manner. 12 Do this for each one, for as many as you prepare.(AA)

13 “‘Everyone who is native-born(AB) must do these things in this way when they present a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.(AC) 14 For the generations to come,(AD) whenever a foreigner(AE) or anyone else living among you presents a food(AF) offering(AG) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord, they must do exactly as you do. 15 The community is to have the same rules for you and for the foreigner residing among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.(AH) You and the foreigner shall be the same before the Lord: 16 The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing among you.(AI)’”

17 The Lord said to Moses, 18 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land to which I am taking you(AJ) 19 and you eat the food of the land,(AK) present a portion as an offering to the Lord.(AL) 20 Present a loaf from the first of your ground meal(AM) and present it as an offering from the threshing floor.(AN) 21 Throughout the generations to come(AO) you are to give this offering to the Lord from the first of your ground meal.(AP)

Offerings for Unintentional Sins

22 “‘Now if you as a community unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the Lord gave Moses(AQ) 23 any of the Lord’s commands to you through him, from the day the Lord gave them and continuing through the generations to come(AR) 24 and if this is done unintentionally(AS) without the community being aware of it,(AT) then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering(AU) as an aroma pleasing to the Lord,(AV) along with its prescribed grain offering(AW) and drink offering,(AX) and a male goat for a sin offering.[g](AY) 25 The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven,(AZ) for it was not intentional(BA) and they have presented to the Lord for their wrong a food offering(BB) and a sin offering.(BC) 26 The whole Israelite community and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong.(BD)

27 “‘But if just one person sins unintentionally,(BE) that person must bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering.(BF) 28 The priest is to make atonement(BG) before the Lord for the one who erred by sinning unintentionally, and when atonement has been made, that person will be forgiven.(BH) 29 One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.(BI)

30 “‘But anyone who sins defiantly,(BJ) whether native-born or foreigner,(BK) blasphemes the Lord(BL) and must be cut off from the people of Israel.(BM) 31 Because they have despised(BN) the Lord’s word and broken his commands,(BO) they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.(BP)’”

The Sabbath-Breaker Put to Death

32 While the Israelites were in the wilderness,(BQ) a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.(BR) 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, 34 and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him.(BS) 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must die.(BT) The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.(BU) 36 So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him(BV) to death,(BW) as the Lord commanded Moses.(BX)

Tassels on Garments

37 The Lord said to Moses, 38 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Throughout the generations to come(BY) you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments,(BZ) with a blue cord on each tassel. 39 You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember(CA) all the commands of the Lord, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves(CB) by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts(CC) and eyes. 40 Then you will remember to obey all my commands(CD) and will be consecrated to your God.(CE) 41 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God.(CF) I am the Lord your God.(CG)’”

Laws of Grain and Drink Offerings

15 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, (A)“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, and you (B)make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, (C)to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or (D)in your appointed feasts, to make a (E)sweet[a] aroma to the Lord, from the herd or the flock, then (F)he who presents his offering to the Lord shall bring (G)a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed (H)with one-fourth of a hin of oil; (I)and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering you shall prepare with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for each (J)lamb. (K)Or 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; and as a drink offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a sweet aroma to the Lord. And when you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a (L)peace offering to the Lord, then shall be offered (M)with the young bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil; 10 and 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 (N)‘Thus it shall be done for each young bull, for each ram, or for each lamb or young goat. 12 According to the number that you prepare, so you shall do with everyone according to their number. 13 All who are native-born shall do these things in this manner, in presenting an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. 14 And if a stranger [b]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. 15 (O)One [c]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. 16 One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who dwells with you.’ ”

17 Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18 (P)“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land to which I bring you, 19 then it will be, when you eat of (Q)the bread of the land, that you shall offer up a heave offering to the Lord. 20 (R)You shall offer up a cake of the first of your ground meal as a heave offering; as (S)a heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall you offer it up. 21 Of the first of your ground meal you shall give to the Lord a heave offering throughout your generations.

Laws Concerning Unintentional Sin

22 (T)‘If you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to Moses— 23 all that the Lord has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day the Lord gave commandment and onward throughout your generations— 24 then it will be, (U)if it is unintentionally committed, [d]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, (V)with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and (W)one kid of the goats as a sin offering. 25 (X)So 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. 26 It 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 (Y)if a person sins unintentionally, then he shall bring a female goat in its first year as a sin offering. 28 (Z)So 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. 29 (AA)You 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 (AB)‘But the person who does anything [e]presumptuously, whether he is native-born or a stranger, that one [f]brings reproach on the Lord, and he shall be [g]cut off from among his people. 31 Because he has (AC)despised the word of the Lord, and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his [h]guilt shall be upon him.’ ”

Penalty for Violating the Sabbath(AD)

32 Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, (AE)they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 They put him (AF)under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.

35 Then the Lord said to Moses, (AG)“The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall (AH)stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.

Tassels on Garments

37 Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 38 “Speak to the children of Israel: Tell (AI)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. 39 And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and (AJ)remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them, and that you (AK)may not (AL)follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, 40 and that you may remember and do all My commandments, and be (AM)holy for your God. 41 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.”
