3 Brenton and thou wilt offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord, a whole-burnt-offering or a meat-offering to perform a vow, or a free-will offering, or to offer in your feasts a sacrifice of sweet savour to the Lord, whether of the herd or the flock: BSB BSB: and you present a food offering to the LORD from the herd or flock to produce a pleasing aroma to the LORD—either a burnt offering or a sacrifice, for a special vow or freewill offering or appointed feast—
4 Brenton then he that offers his gift to the Lord shall bring a meat-offering of fine flour, a tenth part of an ephah mingled with oil, even with the fourth part of a hin. BSB BSB: then 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.
5 Brenton And for a drink-offering ye shall offer the fourth part of a hin on the whole-burnt-offering, or on the meat-offering: for every lamb thou shalt offer so much, as a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. BSB BSB: With the burnt offering or sacrifice of each lamb, you are to prepare a quarter hin of wine as a drink offering.

10 Brenton And wine for a drink-offering the half of a hin, a sacrifice for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. BSB BSB: Also present half a hin of wine as a drink offering. It is a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
11 Brenton Thus shalt thou do to one calf or to one ram, or to one lamb of the sheep or kid of the goats. BSB BSB: This is to be done for each bull, ram, lamb, or goat.
12 Brenton According to the number of what ye shall offer, so shall ye do to each one, according to their number. BSB BSB: This is how you must prepare each one, no matter how many.
13 Brenton Every native of the country shall do thus to offer such things as sacrifices for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord. BSB BSB: Everyone who is native-born shall prepare these things in this way when he presents a food offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
14 Brenton And if there should be a stranger among you in your land, or one who should be born to you among your generations, and he will offer a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord—as ye do, so the whole congregation shall offer to the Lord. BSB BSB: And for the generations to come, if a foreigner residing with you or someone else among you wants to prepare a food offering as a pleasing aroma to the LORD, he is to do exactly as you do.
15 Brenton There shall be one law for you and for the strangers abiding among you, a perpetual law for your generations: as ye are , so shall the stranger be before the Lord.

19 Brenton then it shall come to pass, when ye shall eat of the bread of the land, ye shall separate a wave-offering, a special offering to the Lord, the first-fruits of your dough. BSB BSB: and you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the LORD.
20 Brenton Ye shall offer your bread a heave-offering: as a heave-offering from the threshing-floor, so shall ye separate it, BSB BSB: From 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.
21 Brenton even the first-fruits of your dough, and ye shall give the Lord a heave-offering throughout your generations. BSB BSB: Throughout your generations, you are to give the LORD an offering from the first of your dough.
Offerings for Unintentional Sins 22 Brenton But whensoever ye shall transgress, and not perform all these commands, which the Lord spoke to Moses; BSB BSB: Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses—
23 Brenton as the Lord appointed you by the hand of Moses, from the day which the Lord appointed you and forward throughout your generations, BSB BSB: all that the LORD has commanded you through Moses from the day the LORD gave them and continuing through the generations to come—
24 Brenton then it shall come to pass, if a trespass be committed unwillingly, unknown to the congregation, then shall all the congregation offer a calf of the herd without blemish for a whole-burnt-offering of sweet savour to the Lord, and its meat-offering and its drink-offering according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering. BSB BSB: and 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.
25 Brenton And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the trespass shall be forgiven them, because it is involuntary; and they have brought their gift, a burnt-offering to the Lord for their trespass before the Lord, even for their involuntary sins. BSB BSB: The 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 a food offering and a sin offering, presented before the LORD for their unintentional sin.
26 Brenton And it shall be forgiven as respects all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that is abiding among you, because it is involuntary to all the people. BSB BSB: Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.
27 Brenton And if one soul sin unwillingly, he shall bring one she-goat of a year old for a sin-offering. BSB BSB: Also, if one person sins unintentionally, he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.
28 Brenton And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that committed the trespass unwillingly, and that sinned unwillingly before the Lord, to make atonement for him.

30 Brenton And whatever soul either of the natives or of the strangers shall do any thing with a presumptuous hand, he will provoke God; that soul shall be cut off from his people, BSB BSB: But the person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person shall be cut off from among his people.
31 Brenton for he has set at nought the word of the Lord and broken his commands: that soul shall be utterly destroyed, his sin is upon him. BSB BSB: He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.”
A Sabbath-Breaker Stoned (Exodus 31:12–17)
32 Brenton And the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath-day. BSB BSB: While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
33 Brenton And they who found him gathering sticks on the sabbath-day brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel. BSB BSB: Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation,
34 Brenton And they placed him in custody, for they did not determine what they should do to him. BSB BSB: and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody.
35 Brenton And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Let the man be by all means put to death: do ye all the congregation, stone him with stones. BSB BSB: And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.”
36 Brenton And all the congregation brought him forth out of the camp; and all the congregation stoned him with stones outside the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses. BSB BSB: So the whole congregation took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

BSB BSB: “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.
39 Brenton And it shall be on your fringes, and ye shall look on them, and ye shall remember all the commands of the Lord, and do them: and ye shall not turn back after your imaginations, and after the sight of your eyes in the things after which ye go a whoring; BSB BSB: These 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.
40 Brenton that ye may remember and perform all my commands, and ye shall be holy unto your God. BSB BSB: Then you will remember and obey all My commandments, and you will be holy to your God.
41 Brenton I am the Lord your God that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God. BSB BSB: I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD your God.”
