nsb - Numbers:15:1-31

nsb@Numbers:15:1 @ Jehovah said to Moses:

nsb@Numbers:15:2 @ Speak to the Israelites and tell them: »Once you are settled in the land I am giving you,

nsb@Numbers:15:3 @ you must bring offerings by fire to Jehovah. They may be burnt offerings or any other kind of sacrifice. They may be offered to fulfill a vow, as a freewill offering, or as one of your festival offerings. They may be cattle, sheep, or goats. These are offerings that are a soothing aroma to Jehovah.

nsb@Numbers:15:4 @ »Whoever presents the offering must also give Jehovah a grain offering of eight cups of flour mixed with one quart of oil.

nsb@Numbers:15:5 @ »With each sheep or goat for the burnt offering or any other sacrifice, also give an offering of one quart of wine.

nsb@Numbers:15:6 @ »With a ram, give a grain offering of sixteen cups of flour mixed with one and one quarter quarts of oil

nsb@Numbers:15:7 @ and an offering of one and one quarter quarts of wine. Offer them as a soothing aroma to Jehovah.

nsb@Numbers:15:8 @ »When you sacrifice a young bull as a burnt offering to Jehovah or make any other kind of sacrifice to keep a vow or as a fellowship offering.

nsb@Numbers:15:9 @ »Offer with the young bull a grain offering of twenty-four cups of flour mixed with two quarts of oil.

nsb@Numbers:15:10 @ »Also give an offering of two quarts of wine. It is an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to Jehovah.

nsb@Numbers:15:11 @ »Do this for each bull, each ram, and each sheep or goat.

nsb@Numbers:15:12 @ »Do it for each animal, however many you sacrifice.

nsb@Numbers:15:13 @ »All native-born Israelites must do it this way when they bring an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to Jehovah.

nsb@Numbers:15:14 @ »Make a food offering, an odor that pleases Jehovah. If foreigners live among you, whether on a temporary or a permanent basis, they are to observe the same regulations.

nsb@Numbers:15:15 @ »For all time to come, the same rules are binding on you and on the foreigners who live among you. You and they are alike in Jehovahs sight.

nsb@Numbers:15:16 @ »The same laws and regulations apply to you and to them.«

nsb@Numbers:15:17 @ Jehovah gave Moses

nsb@Numbers:15:18 @ the following regulations for the people of Israel. They are to observe them in the land he was going to give them.

nsb@Numbers:15:19 @ »When any food produced there is eaten, some of it is to be set aside as a special contribution to Jehovah.

nsb@Numbers:15:20 @ »When you bake bread, the first loaf of the first bread made from the new grain is to be presented as a special contribution to Jehovah. This is to be presented in the same way as the special contribution you make from the grain you thresh.

nsb@Numbers:15:21 @ »For all time to come, this special gift is to be given to Jehovah from the bread you bake.

nsb@Numbers:15:22 @ »Suppose someone unintentionally fails to keep some of these regulations Jehovah gave Moses.

nsb@Numbers:15:23 @ »Also suppose that in the future the congregation fails to do everything Jehovah commanded through Moses.

nsb@Numbers:15:24 @ »If the mistake was made because of the ignorance of the congregation, they are to offer a bull as a burnt offering, an odor that pleases Jehovah. Use the proper grain offering and wine offering. In addition, they are to offer a male goat as a sin offering.

nsb@Numbers:15:25 @ »The priest will perform the ritual of purification for the congregation. They will be forgiven since the mistake was unintentional and they brought their sin offering as a food offering to Jehovah

nsb@Numbers:15:26 @ »The whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners living among them will be forgiven, because everyone was involved in the mistake.

nsb@Numbers:15:27 @ »If any of you sin unintentionally, you should offer a one-year-old female goat as a sin offering.

nsb@Numbers:15:28 @ »The priest shall perform the ritual of purification at the altar to purify you from your sin. You will be forgiven.

nsb@Numbers:15:29 @ »The same regulation applies to all who unintentionally commit a sin, whether they are native Israelites or resident foreigners.

nsb@Numbers:15:30 @ »Any who sin deliberately, natives or foreigners, are guilty of treating Jehovah with contempt. They shall be put to death.

nsb@Numbers:15:31 @ »They have rejected what Jehovah said and have deliberately broken one of his commandments. They are responsible for their own death.«
