15:1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
15:2  Speak to the children of Israel and thou shalt say to them: When you shall be come into the land of your habitation, which I will give you,
15:3  And shall make an offering to the Lord, for a holocaust, or a victim, paying your vows, or voluntarily offering gifts, or in your solemnities burning a sweet savour unto the Lord, of oxen or of sheep:
15:4  Whosoever immolateth the victim, shall offer a sacrifice of fine flour, the tenth part of an ephi, tempered with the fourth part of a hin of oil:
15:5  And he shall give the same measure of wine to pour out in libations for the holocaust or for the victim. For every lamb,
15:6  And for every ram there shall be a sacrifice of hour of two tenths, which shall be tempered with the third part of a hin of oil:
15:7  And he shall offer the third part of the same measure of wine for the libation, for a sweet savour to the Lord.
15:8  But when thou offerest a holocaust or sacrifice of oxen, to fulfil thy vow or for victims of peace offerings,
15:9  Thou shalt give for every ox three tenths of flour tempered with half a hin of oil,
15:10  And wine for libations of the same measure, for an offering of most sweet savour to the Lord.
15:11  Thus shalt thou do
15:12  For every ox and ram and lamb and kid.
15:13  Both they that are born in the land, and the strangers
15:14  Shall offer sacrifices after the same rite.
15:15  There shall be all one law and judgment both for you and for them who are strangers in the land.
15:16  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
15:17  Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them:
15:18  When you are come into the land which I will give you,
15:19  And shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall separate firstfruits to the Lord,
15:20  Of the things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of your barnfloors:
15:21  So also shall you give firstfruits of your dough to the Lord.
15:22  And if through ignorance you omit any of these things, which the Lord hath spoken to Moses,
15:23  And by him hath commanded you, from the day that he began to command and thenceforward,
15:24  And the multitude have forgotten to do it: they shall offer a calf out of the herd, a holocaust for a most sweet savour to the Lord, and the sacrifice and libations thereof, as the ceremonies require, and a buck goat for sin:
15:25  And the priest shall pray for all the multitude of the children of Israel: and it shall be forgiven them, because they sinned ignorantly, offering notwithstanding a burnt offering to the Lord for themselves and for their sin and their ignorance:
15:26  And it shall be forgiven all the people of the children of Israel: and the strangers that sojourn among them: because it is the fault of all the people through ignorance.
15:27  But if one soul shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer a she goat of a year old for his sin.
15:28  And the priest shall pray for him, because he sinned ignorantly before the Lord: and he shall obtain his pardon, and it shall be forgiven him.
15:29  The same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance, whether they be natives or strangers.
15:30  But the soul that committeth any thing through pride, whether he be born in the land or a stranger (because he hath been rebellious against the Lord) shall be cut off from among his people:
15:31  For he hath contemned the word the Lord, and made void his precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall bear his iniquity.
15:32  And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and had found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day,
15:33  That they brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole multitude.
15:34  And they put him into prison, not knowing what they should do with him.
15:35  And the Lord said to Moses: Let that man die, let all the multitude stone him without the camp.
15:36  And when they had brought him out, they stoned him, and he died as the Lord had commanded.
15:37  The Lord also said to Moses:
15:38  Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt tell them to make to themselves fringes in the corners of their garments, putting in them ribands of blue:
15:39  That when they shall see them, they may remember all the commandments of the Lord, and not follow their own thoughts and eyes going astray after divers things,
15:40  But rather being mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and be holy to their Cod.
15:41  I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.
