The Wilderness Years

`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land of your dwellings, which I am giving to you,

then ye have prepared a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, at separating a vow or free-will-offering, or in your appointed things, to make a sweet fragrance to Jehovah, out of the herd, or out of the flock.

`And he who is bringing near his offering to Jehovah hath brought near a present of flour, a tenth deal, mixed with a fourth of the hin of oil;

and wine for a libation, a fourth of the hin thou dost prepare for the burnt-offering or for a sacrifice, for the one lamb;

or for a ram thou dost prepare a present of flour, two-tenth deals, mixed with oil, a third of the hin;

and wine for a libation, a third part of the hin, thou dost bring near--a sweet fragrance to Jehovah.

`And when thou makest a son of the herd a burnt-offering or a sacrifice, at separating a vow or peace-offerings to Jehovah,

then he hath brought near for the son of the herd a present of flour, three-tenth deals, mixed with oil, a half of the hin;

and wine thou bringest near for a libation, a half of the hin--a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah;

thus it is done for the one ox, or for the one ram, or for a lamb of the sheep or of the goats.

`According to the number that ye prepare, so ye do to each, according to their number;

every native doth thus with these, at bringing near a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah;

and when a sojourner sojourneth with you, or whoso is in your midst to your generations, and he hath made a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah, as ye do so he doth.

`One statute is for you of the congregation and for the sojourner who is sojourning, a statute age-during to your generations: as ye are so is the sojourner before Jehovah;

one law and one ordinance is to you and to the sojourner who is sojourning with you.'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, In your coming in unto the land whither I am bringing you in,

then it hath been, in your eating of the bread of the land, ye heave up a heave-offering to Jehovah;

the beginning of your dough a cake ye heave up--a heave-offering; as the heave-offering of a threshing-floor, so ye do heave it.

Of the beginning of your dough ye do give to Jehovah a heave-offering--to your generations.

`And when ye err, and do not all these commands which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses,

the whole that Jehovah hath charged upon you by the hand of Moses, from the day that Jehovah hath commanded, and henceforth, to your generations,

then it hath been, if from the eyes of the company it hath been done in ignorance, that all the company have prepared one bullock, a son of the herd, for a burnt-offering, for sweet fragrance to Jehovah, and its present, and its libation, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering.

`And the priest hath made atonement for all the company of the sons of Israel, and it hath been forgiven them, for it is ignorance, and they--they have brought in their offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah, even their sin-offering before Jehovah for their ignorance;

and it hath been forgiven to all the company of the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst; for to all the company it is done in ignorance.
