3you will offer special gifts as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. These gifts may take the form of a burnt offering, a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, a voluntary offering, or an offering at any of your annual festivals, and they may be taken from your herds of cattle or your flocks of sheep and goats.

4When you present these offerings, you must also give the Lord a grain offering of two quarts15:4a Hebrew 1/10 of an ephah [2.2 liters]. of choice flour mixed with one quart15:4b Hebrew 1/4 of a hin [1 liter]; also in 15:5. of olive oil.

5For each lamb offered as a burnt offering or a special sacrifice, you must also present one quart of wine as a liquid offering.

6“If the sacrifice is a ram, give a grain offering of four quarts15:6a Hebrew 2/10 of an ephah [4.4 liters]. of choice flour mixed with a third of a gallon15:6b Hebrew 1/3 of a hin [1.3 liters]; also in 15:7. of olive oil,

7and give a third of a gallon of wine as a liquid offering. This will be a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

8“When you present a young bull as a burnt offering or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a peace offering to the Lord,

9you must also give a grain offering of six quarts15:9a Hebrew 3/10 of an ephah [6.6 liters]. of choice flour mixed with two quarts15:9b Hebrew 1/2 of a hin [2 liters]; also in 15:10. of olive oil,

10and give two quarts of wine as a liquid offering. This will be a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

11“Each sacrifice of a bull, ram, lamb, or young goat should be prepared in this way.

12Follow these instructions with each offering you present.

13All of you native-born Israelites must follow these instructions when you offer a special gift as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

14And if any foreigners visit you or live among you and want to present a special gift as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, they must follow these same procedures.

15Native-born Israelites and foreigners are equal before the Lord and are subject to the same decrees. This is a permanent law for you, to be observed from generation to generation.

16The same instructions and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigners living among you.”

17Then the Lord said to Moses,

18“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel.

19and you eat the crops that grow there, you must set some aside as a sacred offering to the Lord.

20Present a cake from the first of the flour you grind, and set it aside as a sacred offering, as you do with the first grain from the threshing floor.

21Throughout the generations to come, you are to present a sacred offering to the Lord each year from the first of your ground flour.

22“But suppose you unintentionally fail to carry out all these commands that the Lord has given you through Moses.

23And suppose your descendants in the future fail to do everything the Lord has commanded through Moses.

24If the mistake was made unintentionally, and the community was unaware of it, the whole community must present a young bull for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. It must be offered along with its prescribed grain offering and liquid offering and with one male goat for a sin offering.

25With it the priest will purify the whole community of Israel, making them right with the Lord,15:25 Or will make atonement for the whole community of Israel. and they will be forgiven. For it was an unintentional sin, and they have corrected it with their offerings to the Lord—the special gift and the sin offering.

26The whole community of Israel will be forgiven, including the foreigners living among you, for all the people were involved in the sin.

27“If one individual commits an unintentional sin, the guilty person must bring a one-year-old female goat for a sin offering.

28The priest will sacrifice it to purify15:28 Or to make atonement for. the guilty person before the Lord, and that person will be forgiven.

29These same instructions apply both to native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you.

30“But those who brazenly violate the Lord’s will, whether native-born Israelites or foreigners, have blasphemed the Lord, and they must be cut off from the community.

31Since they have treated the Lord’s word with contempt and deliberately disobeyed his command, they must be completely cut off and suffer the punishment for their guilt.”
