Luther Bible 1545 (English)
and the LORD shall not be with you.
But they were unwilling to go up to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, came not out of the camp.
And the Amalekites and the Canaanites that dwelt in the mount came down, and smote them, and brake them in pieces, even unto Horma.
(Numbers)
Chapter 15
Desecration of the Sabbath is punished.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye come into the land of your habitation, which I will give you,
And ye shall offer sacrifices unto the LORD, whether burnt offerings, or sacrifices made by special vows, or freewill offerings, or your feast offerings, that ye may make a sweet savour unto the LORD, either of oxen, or of sheep:
Whosoever therefore shall offer his offering unto the LORD shall offer the meat offering, a tithe of fine flour mingled with oil, a fourth part of the hin,
And wine for a drink offering, and a fourth part of the hin for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice of a lamb.
And when a ram is offered, thou shalt offer for a meat offering two tenths of fine flour mingled with oil, the third part of the hin,
And wine for a drink offering, even the third part of the hin. This thou shalt offer for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
But if thou wilt offer an ox for a burnt offering, or for a special vow offering, or for a sacrifice
of peace offerings unto the LORD,
Then shalt thou offer for the bark a meat offering, three tenths of fine flour mingled with oil, half an hin,
And wine for a drink offering, even half an hin. This is an offering made unto the LORD for a sweet savour.
So shalt thou do with an ox, and with a ram, and with a sheep, and with lambs, and with kids.
After this shall be the number of these sacrifices: after this shall be the number of the meat offering and of the drink offering.
He that is a native of the land shall do this thing, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour.
And if a stranger sojourn with you, or be among you with your friends, and offer an offering made sweet unto the LORD, let him do as they do.
Let it be a statute unto all the congregation, both to you, and to the stranger. And it shall be a statute for ever unto your seed, that the stranger shall be as ye are before the LORD.
One law, one justice, shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye come into the land whither I will bring you,
That ye may eat of the bread of the land, ye shall give an heave unto the LORD; 20. For of the firstfruits of your dough ye shall give a cake for a heave; as the heave of the barn, 21. So shall ye also give unto the LORD the firstfruits of your dough for an heave unto your seed.
And if ye through ignorance of these commandments do any thing not, which the LORD
spake unto Moses,
And all that the LORD commanded you by Moses from the day that he began to command your seed;
And if the congregation do any thing ignorantly, then all the congregation shall offer a young bullock of the herd for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, as it is meet, and a kid of the goats for a sin offering.
And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them: for it is ignorance. And they shall bring their offering for a sacrifice unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD for their ignorance.
And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and also the stranger that sojourneth among you, because all the people are in such ignorance.
And if any soul sin through ignorance, he shall bring a she-goat of the first year for a sin offering;
And the priest shall make an atonement for such an ignorant soul with the sin offering for ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for it: and it shall be forgiven her.
And it shall be a law which ye shall do for ignorance, both to the native of the children of Israel, and to the stranger that sojourneth among you.
But if any soul do any thing iniquitously, whether he be a native or a stranger, he hath reproached the LORD. Such a soul shall be cut off from among his people.
For she hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath forsaken his commandment: she shall be cut off evil: the iniquity is hers.
And when the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man reading wood on the sabbath day.
And they that found him reading wood brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
And they put him in prison: for it was not plain what should be done with him.
And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall surely die, and all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
And all the congregation brought him out unto the camp, and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses.
And the LORD said unto Moses:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, That they make them lappets upon the tails of their garments among all your seed, and put yellow laces upon the lappets upon the tails.
And let the little lappets be for you, that ye may look upon them, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them, that ye judge not according to your heart, nor fornicate according to your eyes.
Therefore shall ye remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
I the LORD your God, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; I the LORD your God.
(Numbers)
Chapter 16
God takes vengeance on the rebellious mob.
And Korah the son of Jezehar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan, and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben, 2. They rebelled against Moses, and certain men of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty of the chief of the congregation, captains of the council, and honest men.
And they gathered themselves together against Moses and Aaron, and said unto them: Ye do too much! For all the congregation everywhere are holy, and the LORD is among them: wherefore exalt ye yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face.
And he said unto Korah, and unto all his company, To morrow the LORD will shew who is his, who is holy, and who shall offer unto him: whom he shall choose, he shall offer unto him.
This do: Take ye pans, Korah, and all his company,
And put fire therein, and put incense thereon before the LORD in the morning. Whom the LORD shall choose, let him be holy. Ye do too much, O children of Levi.
And Moses said unto Korah, Hear now, ye children of Levi.
Is it not enough for you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, that ye should sacrifice unto him, to minister in the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to come before the congregation to minister unto them?
He hath taken thee and all thy brethren the children of Levi unto himself with thee; and now ye also seek the priesthood.
Thou and all thy company make a rebellion against the LORD. What is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
And Moses sent and called Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab. But they said: We will not come up.
Is it not enough that thou hast brought us out of the land that floweth with milk and honey, that thou hast slain us in the wilderness? And thou hast to reign over us?
How goodly hast thou brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, and hast given us fields and vineyards for an inheritance! Wilt thou pluck out the eyes of the people also? We will not come up.
And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Turn not unto their meat offering. I have not taken an ass from them, neither have I ever harmed any of them.
And he said unto Korah, Thou and all thy company shall be before the LORD to morrow; thou, and they, and Aaron.
And take every man his pan, and put incense thereon, and come near before the LORD every man with his pan, even two hundred and fifty pans.
And every man took his pan, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; and Moses and Aaron also.
And Korah gathered all the congregation together against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And the glory of the LORD appeared before all the congregation.
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying: 21. Separate yourselves from this congregation, that I may destroy them suddenly.
And they fell on their faces, and said: O God, who art a God of the spirits of all flesh, if one man have sinned, wilt thou therefore rage against all the congregation?
And the LORD spake
