[15:1] The Lord gave Moses
[15:2] the following regulations for the people of Israel to observe in the land that he was going to give them.
[15:3] A bull, a ram, a sheep, or a goat may be presented to the Lord as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice in fulfillment of a vow or as a freewill offering or as an offering at your regular religious festivals; the odor of these food offerings is pleasing to the Lord.
[15:6] When a ram is offered, 4 pounds of flour mixed with 3 pints of olive oil are to be presented as a grain offering,
[15:7] together with 3 pints of wine. The odor of these sacrifices is pleasing to the Lord.
[15:8] When a bull is offered to the Lord as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice in fulfillment of a vow or as a fellowship offering,
[15:9] a grain offering of 6 pounds of flour mixed with 4 pints of olive oil is to be presented,
[15:10] together with 4 pints of wine. The odor of this sacrifice is pleasing to the Lord.
[15:11] That is what shall be offered with each bull, ram, sheep, or goat.
[15:12] When more than one animal is offered, the accompanying offering is to be increased proportionately.
[15:13] All native Israelites are to do this when they present a food offering, an odor pleasing to the Lord.
[15:14] And if at any time foreigners living among you, whether on a temporary or a permanent basis, make a food offering, an odor that pleases the Lord, they are to observe the same regulations.
[15:15] For all time to come, the same rules are binding on you and on the foreigners who live among you. You and they are alike in the Lord's sight;
[15:16] the same laws and regulations apply to you and to them.
[15:17] The Lord gave Moses
[15:18] the following regulations for the people of Israel to observe in the land that he was going to give them.
[15:19] When any food produced there is eaten, some of it is to be set aside as a special contribution to the Lord.
[15:20] When you bake bread, the first loaf of the first bread made from the new grain is to be presented as a special contribution to the Lord. This is to be presented in the same way as the special contribution you make from the grain you thresh.
[15:21] For all time to come, this special gift is to be given to the Lord from the bread you bake.
[15:22] But suppose someone unintentionally fails to keep some of these regulations which the Lord has given Moses.
[15:23] And suppose that in the future the community fails to do everything that the Lord commanded through Moses.
[15:24] If the mistake was made because of the ignorance of the community, they are to offer a bull as a burnt offering, an odor that pleases the Lord, with the proper grain offering and wine offering. In addition, they are to offer a male goat as a sin offering.
[15:25] The priest shall perform the ritual of purification for the community, and they will be forgiven, because the mistake was unintentional and they brought their sin offering as a food offering to the Lord.
[15:26] The whole community of Israel and the foreigners living among them will be forgiven, because everyone was involved in the mistake.
[15:27] If any of you sin unintentionally, you are to offer a one-year-old female goat as a sin offering.
[15:28] At the altar the priest shall perform the ritual of purification to purify you from your sin, and you will be forgiven.
[15:29] The same regulation applies to all who unintentionally commit a sin, whether they are native Israelites or resident foreigners.
[15:30] But any who sin deliberately, whether they are natives or foreigners, are guilty of treating the Lord with contempt, and they shall be put to death,
[15:31] because they have rejected what the Lord said and have deliberately broken one of his commands. They are responsible for their own death.
