2Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,
3and you will offer whole burnt offerings to the Lord, a whole burnt offeringor a meat-offering to perform a vow, or a free -will offering, or to offer in your feastsa sacrifice of sweet savor to the Lord, whether of the herdor the flock:
3and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh—a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a free will offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock
4then 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 .
4then he who offers his offering shall offer to Yahweh a meal offering of one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one fourth of a hin of oil.
5And for a drink -offering you⌃ shall offer the fourth part of a hin on the whole burnt offering, or on the meat-offering: for every lamb you shall offer so much, as a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savor to the Lord.
5You shall prepare wine for the drink offering, one fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
6And for a ram, when you⌃ offer it as a whole burnt offering or as a sacrifice, you shall prepare as a meat-offering two tenths of fine flour mingled with oil, the third part of a hin.
6“‘For a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil;
7And you⌃ shall offer for a smell of sweet savor to the Lord wine for a drink -offering, the third part of a hin .
7and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
8And if you⌃ sacrifice [a bullock] from the herd for a whole burnt offering or for a sacrifice, to perform a vowor a peace-offering to the Lord,
8When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh,
9then [the worshipper] shall offer upon the calf a meat-offering, three tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, [even] the half of a hin.
9then he shall offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil;
10And wine for a drink -offering the half of a hin , a sacrifice for a smell of sweet savor to the Lord.
10and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
11Thus shall you do to one calf or to one ram, or to one lamb of the sheep or kid of the goats.
11Thus it shall be done for each bull, for each ram, for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats.
12According to the number of what you shall offer, so shall you do to each one, according to their number.
12According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number.
13Every native of the country shall do thus to offer such things as sacrifices for a smell of sweet savor to the Lord.
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.
14And 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 savor to the Lord—as you do, so the [whole] congregation shall offer to the Lord.
14If 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.
15There shall be one law for you and for the strangers dwelling among you, a perpetual law for your generations: as you ⌃ [are], so shall the stranger be before the Lord.
15For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner, a statute forever throughout your generations. As you are, so the foreigner shall be before Yahweh.
16There shall be one law and one ordinance for you, and for the stranger that abides among you.
16One law and one ordinance shall be for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.’”

18Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you come into the land where I bring you,
19then it shall come to pass, when you⌃ shall eat of the bread of the land, you shall separate a wave -offering, a special offering to the Lord, the first fruits of your dough.
19then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh.
20You⌃ shall offer your bread a heave-offering: as a heave-offering from the threshing floor, so shall you⌃ separate it,

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

30“‘But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, blasphemes Yahweh. That soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31for he has set at nothing the word of the Lord and broken his commands: that soul shall be utterly destroyed, his sin [is] upon him.
31Because he has despised Yahweh’s word, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall be utterly cut off. His iniquity shall be on him.’”

40that you may remember and perform all my commands, and you⌃ shall be holy to your God.
40so that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.
