Ofrendas y sacrificios
1 Dios le ordenó a Moisés:
2 «Diles esto a los israelitas: Cuando ya estén en el país que les voy a dar para que vivan en él, deben presentar sus ofrendas de la siguiente manera:
3 »Podrán llevar como ofrenda animales de sus ganados o rebaños para sacrificarlos y quemarlos en mi honor; también podrán presentar ofrendas voluntarias, o para cumplir alguna promesa, o de las que se dan en las fiestas. Así es como me agradan las ofrendas.
4-5 »Por cada cordero deben llevar un litro de vino y dos kilos de buena harina amasada con un litro de aceite de oliva. 6-7 Si sacrifican un carnero, deben llevar más de un litro de vino y cuatro kilos de harina amasada con más de un litro de aceite. Así es como me agradan las ofrendas.
8-10 »Cuando quemen un toro en mi honor, o presenten una ofrenda para hacer la paz conmigo, o quieran cumplir con una promesa, deben llevar dos litros de vino y seis kilos de buena harina amasada con dos litros de aceite. Así es como me agradan las ofrendas.
11-16 »De esta manera todos, incluso los extranjeros, me presentarán sus ofrendas, es decir, sus toros, carneros, corderos y cabritos. No hay diferencia. Esto será siempre así».
17 Luego Dios le ordenó a Moisés:
18 «Diles a los israelitas que cuando lleguen al país que les voy a dar, 19 y empiecen a cosechar el trigo y a comérselo, deben separar una parte para mí. 20-21 Siempre deberán darme el primer trigo que limpien y el primer pan que horneen.
Las ofrendas para el perdón de los pecados
22-23 »Si no hacen lo que desde el primer día les mandé por medio de Moisés, harán lo siguiente:
24-26 »Si todo el pueblo me desobedeció, pero no era esa su intención, deben sacrificar un toro y quemarlo por completo. Deben ofrecérmelo con harina y vino. Además, ofrecerán un chivo como sacrificio para que les perdone su pecado. Así es como me agradan las ofrendas. El sacerdote presentará las ofrendas para que yo perdone a todo el pueblo de Israel y también a los extranjeros que vivan con ustedes.
27 »Si solo fue una persona la que sin querer desobedeció, entonces me ofrecerá una cabrita de un año. 28 El sacerdote hará la ceremonia y presentará la ofrenda de esa persona, y yo la perdonaré. 29 Esta es una ley acerca de los que pecan sin querer, y vale tanto para los israelitas como para los extranjeros. 30-31 Pero si sabe lo que yo quiero y a propósito no lo hace, esa persona me ha ofendido y se le deberá eliminar de mi pueblo».
Desobediencia y castigo
32 Cuando los israelitas todavía vivían en el desierto, encontraron a un hombre juntando leña en sábado. 33 Entonces lo llevaron delante de Moisés y de Aarón y de todo el pueblo. 34 Como no sabían qué hacer con él, lo detuvieron esperando a que Dios les hablara. 35 Y Dios le ordenó a Moisés: «Saquen a ese hombre del campamento, y que todos lo apedreen hasta matarlo».
36 Y así lo hicieron los israelitas.
Cordones en la ropa
37 Después Dios le ordenó a Moisés:
38 «Diles a los israelitas que ellos y sus descendientes deben poner siempre, en el borde de su ropa, cordones de color violeta. 39 Así, cada vez que vean los cordones, recordarán que deben obedecer todo lo que les he mandado. De esa manera no me desobedecerán ni seguirán sus propios deseos, ni los pensamientos que los llevan a alejarse de mí. 40 Recordarán que deben hacer todo lo que les digo, y vivirán solo para obedecerme. 41 Yo soy su Dios, que los saqué de Egipto para que fueran mi pueblo. Solo a mí me deben obedecer».
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you, 3 And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock: 4 Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil. 5 And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb. 6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil. 7 And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD. 8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD: 9 Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil. 10 And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 11 Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid. 12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number. 13 All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD. 14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do. 15 One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you , an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are , so shall the stranger be before the LORD. 16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
17 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you, 19 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD. 20 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it. 21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations.
22 ¶ And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses, 23 Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses , and henceforward among your generations; 24 Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering. 25 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance: 26 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.
27 ¶ And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. 28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. 29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
30 ¶ But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
32 ¶ And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. 33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. 34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. 35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. 36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
37 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: 39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: 40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God. 41 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
