| 13"'Everyone who is native-born must do these things in this way when they present a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the LORD. | 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. |
| 14For the generations to come, whenever a foreigner or anyone else living among you presents a food offering as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, they must do exactly as you do. | 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 community is to have the same rules for you and for the foreigner residing among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the LORD: | 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 laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing among you.'" | 16The same law and the same ordinance will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing with you.” |
| 17The LORD said to Moses, | 17Then the LORD said to Moses, |
| 18"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When you enter the land to which I am taking you | 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, present a portion as an offering to the LORD. | 19and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD. |
| 20Present a loaf from the first of your ground meal and present it as an offering from the threshing floor. | 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 the generations to come you are to give this offering to the LORD from the first of your ground meal. | 21Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough. |
| 22"'Now if you as a community unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the LORD gave Moses-- | 22Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses— |
| 23any of the LORD's commands to you through him, from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come-- | 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 this is done unintentionally without the community being aware of it, then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering as an aroma pleasing to the LORD, along with its prescribed grain offering and drink offering, and a male goat for a sin offering. | 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. |

| 26The whole Israelite community and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong. | 26Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally. |
| 27"'But if just one person sins unintentionally, that person must bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering. | 27Also, if one person sins unintentionally, he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering. |
| 28The priest is to make atonement before the LORD for the one who erred by sinning unintentionally, and when atonement has been made, that person will be forgiven. | 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. |
| 29One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you. | 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. |
| 30"'But anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD and must be cut off from the people of Israel. | 30But the person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person shall be cut off from among his people. |
| 31Because they have despised the LORD's word and broken his commands, they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.'" | 31He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.” |

| 33Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, | 33Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation, |
| 34and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. | 34and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody. |
| 35Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp." | 35And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.” |
| 36So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses. | 36So the whole congregation took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
| 37The LORD said to Moses, | 37Later, the LORD said to Moses, |
| 38"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'Throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. | 38“Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout the generations to come they are to make for themselves tassels for the corners of their garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. |
| 39You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts and eyes. | 39These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the commandments of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by following your own heart and your own eyes. |
| 40Then you will remember to obey all my commands and will be consecrated to your God. | 40Then you will remember and obey all My commandments, and you will be holy to your God. |
| 41I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.'" | 41I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.” |
