Numbers 15New King James Version (NKJV)
Laws of Grain and Drink Offerings
15 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say
to them: ‘When you have come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am
giving to you, 3 and you make an offering by fire
to the Lord, a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as a
freewill offering or in your appointed feasts, to make a sweet aroma to
the Lord, from the herd or the flock, 4 then
he who presents his offering to the Lord shall bring a grain offering
of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth
of a hin of oil; 5 and one-fourth of a hin of wine
as a drink offering you shall prepare with the burnt offering or the sacrifice,
for each lamb. 6 Or for a ram you shall prepare as
a grain offering two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed
with one-third of a hin of oil; 7 and as a drink
offering you shall offer one-third of a hin of wine as a sweet aroma to
the Lord. 8 And when you prepare a young bull
as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as a peace offering
to the Lord, 9 then shall be offered with the
young bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of
fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil; 10 and you
shall bring as the drink offering half a hin of wine as an offering made by
fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.
11 ‘Thus it shall be done for each
young bull, for each ram, or for each lamb or young goat. 12 According
to the number that you prepare, so you shall do with everyone according to
their number. 13 All who are native-born shall do
these things in this manner, in presenting an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma
to the Lord. 14 And if a stranger dwells with
you, or whoever is among you throughout your generations, and
would present an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord, just as
you do, so shall he do. 15 One ordinance shall
be for you of the assembly and for the stranger who dwells with
you, an ordinance forever throughout your generations; as you are, so
shall the stranger be before the Lord. 16 One
law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who dwells with you.’”[a]
17 Again the Lord spoke to
Moses, saying, 18 “Speak to the children of Israel,
and say to them: ‘When you come into the land to which I bring you, 19 then
it will be, when you eat of the bread of the land, that you shall offer up a
heave offering to the Lord. 20 You shall offer
up a cake of the first of your ground meal as a heave
offering; as a heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall you offer it
up. 21 Of the first of your ground meal you shall
give to the Lord a heave offering throughout your generations.
Laws Concerning Unintentional Sin
22 ‘If you sin unintentionally, and
do not observe all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to
Moses— 23 all that the Lord has commanded
you by the hand of Moses, from the day the Lord gave commandment and
onward throughout your generations— 24 then it will
be, if it is unintentionally committed, without the knowledge of the
congregation, that the whole congregation shall offer one young bull as a burnt
offering, as a sweet aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and its
drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats as a sin
offering. 25 So the priest shall make atonement for
the whole congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven
them, for it was unintentional; they shall bring their offering, an offering
made by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for
their unintended sin. 26 It shall be forgiven the
whole congregation of the children of Israel and the stranger who dwells among
them, because all the people did it unintentionally.
27 ‘And if a person sins
unintentionally, then he shall bring a female goat in its first year as a sin
offering. 28 So the priest shall make atonement for
the person who sins unintentionally, when he sins unintentionally before
the Lord, to make atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. 29 You
shall have one law for him who sins unintentionally, for him
who is native-born among the children of Israel and for the stranger who dwells
among them.
Law Concerning Presumptuous Sin
30 ‘But the person who does anything presumptuously, whether
he is native-born or a stranger, that one brings reproach on
the Lord, and he shall be cut off from among his people. 31 Because
he has despised the word of the Lord, and has broken His commandment, that
person shall be completely cut off; his guilt shall be upon
him.’”
Penalty for Violating the Sabbath
32 Now while the children of Israel
were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath
day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks
brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 They
put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to
him.
35 Then the Lord said to
Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone
him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So, as
the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside
the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.
Tassels on Garments
37 Again the Lord spoke to
Moses, saying, 38 “Speak to the children of Israel:
Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their
generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners. 39 And
you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the
commandments of the Lord and do them, and that you may not
follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, 40 and
that you may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy for your
God. 41 I am the Lord your
God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your
God.”

BOOK FOUR: Psalms 90—106
The Eternity of God, and Man’s Frailty
A Prayer of Moses the man of God.
90 Lord, You have been our dwelling place[a] in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
3 You turn man to destruction,
And say, “Return, O children of men.”
4 For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night.
5 You carry them away like a flood;
They are like a sleep.
In the morning they are like grass which grows up:
6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
In the evening it is cut down and withers.
And say, “Return, O children of men.”
4 For a thousand years in Your sight
Are like yesterday when it is past,
And like a watch in the night.
5 You carry them away like a flood;
They are like a sleep.
In the morning they are like grass which grows up:
6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up;
In the evening it is cut down and withers.
7 For we have been consumed by Your
anger,
And by Your wrath we are terrified.
8 You have set our iniquities before You,
Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.
9 For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
We finish our years like a sigh.
10 The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
And by Your wrath we are terrified.
8 You have set our iniquities before You,
Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.
9 For all our days have passed away in Your wrath;
We finish our years like a sigh.
10 The days of our lives are seventy years;
And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,
Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;
For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord!
How long?
And have compassion on Your servants.
14 Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
15 Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us,
The years in which we have seen evil.
16 Let Your work appear to Your servants,
And Your glory to their children.
17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,
And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands.
How long?
And have compassion on Your servants.

The years in which we have seen evil.
16 Let Your work appear to Your servants,
And Your glory to their children.

And establish the work of our hands for us;
Yes, establish the work of our hands.
