New Testament

Numbers 15:10-27 God's Word Translation (GW)

10. Also give an offering of two quarts of wine. It is an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.

11. Do this for each bull, each ram, and each sheep or goat.

12. Do it for each animal, however many you sacrifice.

13. All native-born Israelites must do it this way when they bring an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.

14. “Suppose foreigners are visiting you or living among you in future generations. If they bring an offering by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord, they must do as you do.

15. There is one law for the whole assembly: for you and foreigners who are living with you. It is a permanent law for future generations. As far as the Lord is concerned, you and foreigners are the same.

16. The instructions and rules are the same for you as well as foreigners who are living with you.”

17. The Lord said to Moses,

18. “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land where I’m taking you

19. and eat any of the food from the land, give some of it as a contribution to the Lord.

20. Shape one part of your dough into a ring the same way you do with the contribution you make from the threshing floor.

21. For generations to come, you must give one part of your dough as a contribution to the Lord.

22. “Suppose you unintentionally do something wrong by not obeying all these commands the Lord gave Moses.

23. (Everything the Lord commanded you through Moses holds as true for generations to come as it did the day the Lord gave the commands.)

24. If it was unintentional and no one else knows about it, the whole community must sacrifice a young bull as a burnt offering, a soothing aroma to the Lord, along with the proper grain and wine offerings, and a male goat as an offering for sin.

25. The priest will make peace with the Lord for the whole community of Israel. Then they will be forgiven because the wrongdoing was unintentional and they brought these two offerings to the Lord for their sin: an offering by fire and an offering for sin.

26. So the whole community of Israel will be forgiven, including foreigners who are living among them, since all the people were involved in the unintentional wrongdoing.

27. “If one person unintentionally does something wrong, a one-year-old female goat must be sacrificed as an offering for sin.
