Yderligere regler for ofringer
1Herren sagde til Moses: 2„Giv Israels folk denne besked fra mig: Når folket engang kommer ind i det land, jeg vil give dem, 3-5og de ønsker at glæde mig med et ildoffer, hvad enten det er et brændoffer eller et slagtoffer, skal de udvælge offerdyret blandt deres småkvæg eller hornkvæg. Hvert eneste offer—hvad enten det drejer sig om et almindeligt offer, et løfteoffer, et frivilligt offer eller et særligt offer i forbindelse med de årlige festdage—skal bringes sammen med et afgrødeoffer. Hvis det er et lam, de ofrer, skal afgrødeofferet bestå af to liter fint mel blandet med en liter olivenolie. Desuden skal der ofres et drikoffer bestående af en liter vin.
6Hvis de ofrer en vædder, skal det medfølgende afgrødeoffer bestå af fire liter fint mel blandet med godt en liter olivenolie 7og drikofferet skal bestå af godt en liter vin. Duften af dette offer vil glæde mig.
8-9Hvis de ofrer en ung tyr, skal det medfølgende afgrødeoffer bestå af seks liter fint mel blandet med to liter olivenolie, 10og drikofferet skal bestå af to liter vin. Duften af dette offer vil glæde mig.
11-12Det er reglerne for de ofre, der skal følge med, hvad enten offerdyret er en tyr, en vædder, et lam eller et gedekid— 13-14og reglerne er de samme for israelitter som for de fremmede, der bor iblandt dem. 15-16Denne lov skal gælde fremover fra slægt til slægt. Samme lov skal gælde for alle.”
17Herren sagde også dette til Moses: 18„Sig til Israels folk: Når I kommer ind i det land, jeg vil give jer, 19-21skal I ofre en smagsprøve af landets første høst til mig ved at tage noget korn fra tærskepladsen og bage et grovbrød af det. Loven om et offer fra den første høst skal gælde fremover fra slægt til slægt.
22-24Hvis I eller jeres efterkommere som folk betragtet uforvarende kommer til at overtræde de love, som jeg har givet jer gennem Moses indtil nu, skal hele folket, så snart fejltagelsen er opdaget, ofre en ung tyr som brændoffer. Da vil jeg anerkende duften af brændofferet som et lifligt offer, når det ofres sammen med det sædvanlige afgrødeoffer og drikoffer samt et syndoffer bestående af en gedebuk. 25Præsten skal på den måde skaffe soning for hele folket, og da skal de blive tilgivet, fordi der var tale om en fejltagelse, som er rettet, efter at der er ofret et brændoffer og et syndoffer. 26Da skal hele folket få tilgivelse, også de fremmede, der bor iblandt jer, fordi der var tale om uforvarende, kollektiv synd.
27Hvis en enkeltperson uforvarende kommer til at overtræde lovene, skal han ofre en etårs hun-ged som syndoffer; 28og præsten skal skaffe ham soning, hvorefter han er tilgivet. 29Denne lov gælder også de fremmede, der bor iblandt jer.
30-31Men enhver der synder forsætligt—hvad enten han er indfødt israelit eller fremmed—skal udryddes, fordi han har vist ringeagt for mig og mine bud og med vilje overtrådt min lov. Derfor skal han bære sin straf.”
Straffen for at bryde sabbatsloven
32En sabbatsdag, da Israels folk opholdt sig i ørkenen, blev en mand taget på fersk gerning i at gå og samle brænde. 33Manden blev ført til Moses og Aron og de øvrige ledere, 34som fængslede ham, indtil de kunne få en afgørelse fra Herren angående mandens forseelse.
35Da sagde Herren til Moses: „Manden skal føres uden for lejren og stenes til døde af hele folket.” 36Så førte man ham uden for lejren og henrettede ham, som Herren havde befalet.
Om kvaster på kappen
37Herren sagde til Moses: 38„Sig til Israels folk, at de fremover fra slægt til slægt skal gøre det til en vane at sætte kvaster i hjørnerne af deres kapper; kvasterne skal sys i med purpurtråd. 39Hensigten med denne ordning er at minde jer selv om at følge mine befalinger. Hver gang I får øje på kvasten, skal I tænke på at adlyde mig i stedet for at adlyde jeres egne lyster og indskydelser, som I har så let ved at gøre. 40Når I ser kvasten, skal I rette jeres indre blik på mig, så I kommer til at ligne mig i hellighed; 41for jeg er Herren, jeres Gud, der førte jer ud af Egyptens land—ja, jeg er Herren, jeres Gud.”
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you, 3And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:15.3 performing: Heb. separating 4Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil. 5And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb. 6Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil. 7And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD. 8And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD: 9Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil. 10And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 11Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid. 12According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number. 13All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 14And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do. 15One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD. 16One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
17¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 18Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you, 19Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD. 20Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it. 21Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations.
22¶ And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses, 23Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations; 24Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.15.24 without…: Heb. from the eyes15.24 manner: or, ordinance 25And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance: 26And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.
27¶ And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. 28And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. 29Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.15.29 sinneth: Heb. doth
30¶ But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.15.30 presumptuously: Heb. with an high hand 31Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
32¶ And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. 33And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. 34And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. 35And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. 36And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
37¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 38Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: 39And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: 40That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. 41I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
