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.”
Supplementary Offerings
1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘After you enter the land I am giving you as a home 3and you present to the Lord food offerings from the herd or the flock, as an aroma pleasing to the Lord—whether burnt offerings or sacrifices, for special vows or freewill offerings or festival offerings— 4then the person who brings an offering shall present to the Lord a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah15:4 That is, probably about 3 1/2 pounds or about 1.6 kilograms of the finest flour mixed with a quarter of a hin15:4 That is, about 1 quart or about 1 liter; also in verse 5 of olive oil. 5With each lamb for the burnt offering or the sacrifice, prepare a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering.
6“ ‘With a ram prepare a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah15:6 That is, probably about 7 pounds or about 3.2 kilograms of the finest flour mixed with a third of a hin15:6 That is, about 1 1/3 quarts or about 1.3 liters; also in verse 7 of olive oil, 7and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering. Offer it as an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
8“ ‘When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice, for a special vow or a fellowship offering to the Lord, 9bring with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah15:9 That is, probably about 11 pounds or about 5 kilograms of the finest flour mixed with half a hin15:9 That is, about 2 quarts or about 1.9 liters; also in verse 10 of olive oil, 10and also bring half a hin of wine as a drink offering. This will be a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord. 11Each bull or ram, each lamb or young goat, is to be prepared in this manner. 12Do this for each one, for as many as you prepare.
13“ ‘Everyone who is native-born must do these things in this way when they present a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the Lord. 14For the generations to come, whenever a foreigner or anyone else living among you presents a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the Lord, they must do exactly as you do. 15The 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. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the Lord: 16The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing among you.’ ”
17The Lord said to Moses, 18“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land to which I am taking you 19and you eat the food of the land, present a portion as an offering to the Lord. 20Present a loaf from the first of your ground meal and present it as an offering from the threshing floor. 21Throughout the generations to come you are to give this offering to the Lord from the first of your ground meal.
Offerings for Unintentional Sins
22“ ‘Now if you as a community unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the Lord gave Moses— 23any of the Lord’s commands to you through him, from the day the Lord gave them and continuing through the generations to come— 24and if this is done unintentionally without the community being aware of it, then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering as an aroma pleasing to the Lord, along with its prescribed grain offering and drink offering, and a male goat for a sin offering.15:24 Or purification offering; also in verses 25 and 27 25The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven, for it was not intentional and they have presented to the Lord for their wrong a food offering and a sin offering. 26The whole Israelite community and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong.
27“ ‘But if just one person sins unintentionally, that person must bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering. 28The priest is to make atonement before the Lord for the one who erred by sinning unintentionally, and when atonement has been made, that person will be forgiven. 29One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.
30“ ‘But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or foreigner, blasphemes the Lord and must be cut off from the people of Israel. 31Because they have despised the Lord’s word and broken his commands, they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.’ ”
The Sabbath-Breaker Put to Death
32While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. 33Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, 34and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. 35Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.” 36So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Tassels on Garments
37The Lord said to Moses, 38“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. 39You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the Lord, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes. 40Then you will remember to obey all my commands and will be consecrated to your God. 41I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord your God.’ ”
