Numbers 15 : 14 (ERVEN)
Foreigners will live among you. If they give gifts to please the Lord, they must offer them the same way you do.
Numbers 15 : 15 (ERVEN)
The same rules will be for everyone�the Israelites and the foreigners living among you. This law will continue forever. You and the people living among you will be the same before the Lord.
Numbers 15 : 16 (ERVEN)
This means that you must follow the same laws and the same rules. These laws and rules are for you Israelites and for the other people who are living among you."
Numbers 15 : 17 (ERVEN)
The Lord said to Moses,
Numbers 15 : 18 (ERVEN)
"Tell the Israelites this: I am taking you to another land.
Numbers 15 : 19 (ERVEN)
When you eat the food that grows in that land, you must give part of that food as an offering to the Lord.
Numbers 15 : 20 (ERVEN)
You will gather grain and grind it into flour to make dough for bread. You must give the first of that dough as a gift to the Lord. It will be like the grain offering that comes from the threshing floor.
Numbers 15 : 21 (ERVEN)
This rule will continue forever, you must give the first of that dough as a gift to the Lord.
Numbers 15 : 22 (ERVEN)
"As you try to obey all the commands that the Lord gave Moses, you might fail and make a mistake.
Numbers 15 : 23 (ERVEN)
God gave you those commands through Moses, and they have been in effect from the day they were given throughout the generations until today.
Numbers 15 : 24 (ERVEN)
If you made this mistake where everyone could see it, the whole community must offer a young bull as a burnt offering, as a sweet-smelling gift to the Lord. You must also offer the grain offering and the drink offering with the bull. And you must also give a male goat as a sin offering.
Numbers 15 : 25 (ERVEN)
"So the priest will make the whole community of Israel pure, and they will be forgiven for the mistake they made. Since they made the mistake, they must bring a gift and a sin offering to the Lord.
Numbers 15 : 26 (ERVEN)
Then the whole community of Israel and any foreigners among them will be forgiven for the mistake.
Numbers 15 : 27 (ERVEN)
"But if only one person makes a mistake and sins, that person must bring a female goat that is one year old. That goat will be the sin offering.
Numbers 15 : 28 (ERVEN)
The priest will make the one who sinned pure and that person will be forgiven.
Numbers 15 : 29 (ERVEN)
This law is for everyone who makes a mistake and sins. The same law is for the people born in the family of Israel and for the foreigners living among you.
Numbers 15 : 30 (ERVEN)
"If someone sins and knows they are doing wrong, they are rebelling against the Lord. They must be separated from their people. The same law applies to citizens of Israel and to foreigners living among you.
Numbers 15 : 31 (ERVEN)
They thought the Lord's word was not important, so they broke his commands. That is why they must be separated from their people�they must bear the responsibility for their guilt."
Numbers 15 : 32 (ERVEN)
While the Israelites were in the desert, some of them saw a man gathering firewood on the Sabbath day.
Numbers 15 : 33 (ERVEN)
The people who saw him gathering the wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of Israel.
Numbers 15 : 34 (ERVEN)
They guarded the man carefully because they did not know how they should punish him.
Numbers 15 : 35 (ERVEN)
Then the Lord said to Moses, "The man must die. All the people must throw stones at him outside the camp."
Numbers 15 : 36 (ERVEN)
So the people took him outside the camp and killed him with stones. They did this just as the Lord commanded Moses.
Numbers 15 : 37 (ERVEN)
The Lord said to Moses,
Numbers 15 : 38 (ERVEN)
"Speak to the Israelites. Tell them this: Tie several pieces of thread together and tie them in the corner of your clothes. Put a piece of blue thread in each one of these tassels. You must wear these things now and forever.
Numbers 15 : 39 (ERVEN)
You will be able to look at these tassels and remember all the commands that the Lord has given you. Then you will obey the commands. You will not do wrong by forgetting about the commands and doing the things that your own bodies and eyes want.
Numbers 15 : 40 (ERVEN)
You will remember to obey all my commands. Then you will be God's special people.
Numbers 15 : 41 (ERVEN)
I am the Lord your God. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt. I did this to be your God. I am the Lord your God."
