Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Numbers 15:4-31

4then 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.
5With the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb, you are to prepare a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering.
6With a ram you are to prepare a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,
7and a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
8When you prepare a young bull as a burnt offering or sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the LORD,
9present with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil.
10Also present half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It is an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
11This is to be done for each bull, ram, lamb, or goat.
12This is how you must prepare each one, no matter how many.
13Everyone 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.
14And 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.
15The 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.
16The same law and the same ordinance will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing with you.”
17Then the LORD said to Moses,
18“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land to which I am bringing you
19and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.
20From the first of your dough, you are to lift up a cake as a contribution; offer it just like an offering from the threshing floor.
21Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.
22Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses —
23all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come—
24and 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.
25The 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.
26Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.
27Also, if one person sins unintentionally, he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.
28And 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.
29You shall have the same law for the one who acts in error, whether he is a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.
30But the person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person shall be cut off from among his people.
31He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.”
