Laws About Sacrifices

Numbers 15

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 2 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land of your dwellings, which I am giving to you, 3 then ye have prepared a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, at separating a vow or free-will-offering, or in your appointed things, to make a sweet fragrance to Jehovah, out of the herd, or out of the flock. 4 `And he who is bringing near his offering to Jehovah hath brought near a present of flour, a tenth deal, mixed with a fourth of the hin of oil; 5 and wine for a libation, a fourth of the hin thou dost prepare for the burnt-offering or for a sacrifice, for the one lamb; 6 or for a ram thou dost prepare a present of flour, two-tenth deals, mixed with oil, a third of the hin; 7 and wine for a libation, a third part of the hin, thou dost bring near -- a sweet fragrance to Jehovah. 8 `And when thou makest a son of the herd a burnt-offering or a sacrifice, at separating a vow or peace-offerings to Jehovah, 9 then he hath brought near for the son of the herd a present of flour, three-tenth deals, mixed with oil, a half of the hin; 10 and wine thou bringest near for a libation, a half of the hin -- a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah;

11 thus it is done for the one ox, or for the one ram, or for a lamb of the sheep or of the goats. 12 `According to the number that ye prepare, so ye do to each, according to their number; 13 every native doth thus with these, at bringing near a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah; 14 and when a sojourner sojourneth with you, or whoso [is] in your midst to your generations, and he hath made a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah, as ye do so he doth. 15 `One statute is for you of the congregation and for the sojourner who is sojourning, a statute age-during to your generations: as ye [are] so is the sojourner before Jehovah; 16 one law and one ordinance is to you and to the sojourner who is sojourning with you.'

17 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 18 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, In your coming in unto the land whither I am bringing you in, 19 then it hath been, in your eating of the bread of the land, ye heave up a heave-offering to Jehovah; 20 the beginning of your dough a cake ye heave up -- a heave-offering; as the heave-offering of a threshing-floor, so ye do heave it. 21 Of the beginning of your dough ye do give to Jehovah a heave-offering -- to your generations.
