But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!

Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.

For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”

But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp.

Then the LORD said to Moses,

“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land that I am giving you as a home

and you present an offering made by fire to the LORD from the herd or flock to produce a pleasing aroma to the LORD—either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, for a special vow or freewill offering or appointed feast—

then the one presenting his offering to the LORD shall also present a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.

and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the LORD,

Also present half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It is an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

Everyone who is native-born shall prepare these things in this way when he presents an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

And for the generations to come, if a foreigner residing with you or someone else among you wants to prepare an offering made by fire as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, he is to do exactly as you do.

The assembly is to have the same statute both for you and for the foreign resident; it is a permanent statute for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the LORD.

Then the LORD said to Moses,

“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing you

and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.

Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.

Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses—

all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come—

and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, then the whole congregation is to prepare one young bull as a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

The priest is to make atonement for the whole congregation of Israel, so that they may be forgiven; for the sin was unintentional and they have brought to the LORD an offering made by fire and a sin offering, presented before the LORD for their unintentional sin.

And the priest shall make atonement before the LORD on behalf of the person who erred by sinning unintentionally; and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven.

But the person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person shall be cut off from among his people.

He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.”
