¹ Og Herren talte til Moses og sa:

² Tal til Israels barn og si til dem: Når en mann eller kvinne gjør et hellig løfte om å ville være nasireer og vie sig til Herren,

³ så skal han holde sig fra vin og sterk drikk; eddik av vin eller annen sterk eddik skal han ikke drikke og heller ikke nogen saft som er tillaget av druer; hverken friske eller tørre druer skal han ete.

⁴ Så lenge hans innvielse varer, skal han ikke ete noget av det som tillages av vintreet, like fra kjerne til skall.

⁵ Så lenge hans innvielses-løfte gjelder, skal der ikke gå rakekniv over hans hode; inntil hans innvielses-tid er til ende, skal han være hellig, han skal la sitt hodehår vokse fritt.

⁶ Så lenge han er innvidd til Herren, skal han ikke komme nær noget lik.

⁷ Ikke engang om hans far eller mor eller bror eller søster dør, må han føre urenhet over sig for deres skyld; for han bærer på sitt hode tegnet på innvielsen til sin Gud.

⁸ Hele sin innvielses-tid er han hellig for Herren.

⁹ Men dør der nogen hos ham uventet og brått og fører urenhet over hans innvidde hode, da skal han rake sitt hode den dag han blir ren; den syvende dag skal han rake det.

¹⁰ Og på den åttende dag skal han komme til presten med to turtelduer eller to dueunger, til inngangen til sammenkomstens telt.

¹¹ Og presten skal ofre den ene til syndoffer og den andre til brennoffer og gjøre soning for ham og rense ham for den synd han har ført over sig ved å komme nær liket. Så skal han samme dag hellige sitt hode,

¹² og på ny vie sig til Herren for like sa lang tid som han først hadde lovt, og føre frem et årsgammelt lam til skyldoffer; den første tid gjelder ikke mere, fordi hans innvielse blev utskjemt.

¹³ Dette er loven for nasireeren: Den dag hans innvielses-tid er til ende, skal han føres frem til inngangen til sammenkomstens telt,

¹⁴ og han skal bære frem for Herren sitt offer, et årsgammelt værlam uten lyte til brennoffer og et årsgammelt hunlam uten lyte til syndoffer og en vær uten lyte til takkoffer

¹⁵ og en kurv med usyrede kaker av fint mel, kaker med olje i, og usyrede brødleiver smurt med olje, og matofferet og drikkofferne som hører til.

¹⁶ Og presten skal bære det frem for Herrens åsyn og ofre hans syndoffer og hans brennoffer.

¹⁷ Og væren skal han ofre som takkoffer til Herren sammen med kurven med de usyrede kaker, og så skal presten ofre hans matoffer og hans drikkoffer.

¹⁸ Derefter skal nasireeren rake sitt innvidde hode ved inngangen til sammenkomstens telt, og han skal ta sitt innvidde hodehår og legge det på ilden som er under takkofferet.

¹⁹ Og presten skal ta en bog av væren, efterat den er kokt, og en usyret kake av kurven og en usyret brødleiv og legge dem i hendene på nasireeren, efterat han har raket av sitt innvielsestegn.

²⁰ Så skal presten svinge dem for Herrens åsyn; det er helliget presten foruten svinge-brystet og løfte-låret. Siden kan nasireeren drikke vin.

²¹ Dette er loven for den som gjør et nasireer-løfte, dette er det han skal ofre til Herren på grunn av sin innvielse, foruten det han ellers har råd til; han skal holde sig efter det løfte han har gjort, foruten det loven om hans innvielse krever.

²² Og Herren talte til Moses og sa:

²³ Tal til Aron og hans sønner og si: Således skal I si når I velsigner Israels barn:

²⁴ Herren velsigne dig og bevare dig!

²⁵ Herren la sitt åsyn lyse over dig og være dig nådig!

²⁶ Herren løfte sitt åsyn på dig og gi dig fred!

²⁷ Således skal de legge mitt navn på Israels barn, og jeg vil velsigne dem.

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

² "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,

³ and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock;

⁴ then he who offers his offering shall offer to Yahweh a meal offering of a tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil:

⁵ and wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, you shall prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.

⁶ "'Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil:

⁷ and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

⁸ When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh;

⁹ then shall he offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil:

¹⁰ and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

¹¹ Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats.

¹² According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number.

¹³ "'All who are native-born shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

¹⁴ If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh; as you do, so he shall do.

¹⁵ For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner [with you], a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the foreigner be before Yahweh.

¹⁶ One law and One ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.'"

¹⁷ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁸ "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land where I bring you,

¹⁹ then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh.

²⁰ Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering: as the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it.

²¹ Of the first of your dough you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations.

²² "'When you shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Yahweh has spoken to Moses,

²³ even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;

²⁴ then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, with the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.

²⁵ The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error:

²⁶ and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.

²⁷ "'If one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering.

²⁸ The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly, before Yahweh, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.

²⁹ You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.

³⁰ "'But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, the same blasphemes Yahweh; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

³¹ Because he has despised the word of Yahweh, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.'"

³² While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.

³³ Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.

³⁴ They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

³⁵ Yahweh said to Moses, "The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp."

³⁶ All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

³⁷ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

³⁸ "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they should make themselves fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord of blue:

³⁹ and it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may look on it, and remember all the commandments of Yahweh, and do them; and that you not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to play the prostitute;

⁴⁰ that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.

⁴¹ I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God."
