15:19. And shall eat of the bread of that country, you shall separate
firstfruits to the Lord,
15:20. Of the things you eat. As you separate firstfruits of your
barnfloors:
15:21. So also shall you give firstfruits of your dough to the Lord.
15:22. And if through ignorance you omit any of these things, which the
Lord hath spoken to Moses,
15:23. And by him hath commanded you from the day that he began to
command and thenceforward,
15:24. And the multitude have forgotten to do it: they shall offer a
calf out of the herd, a holocaust for a most sweet savour to the Lord,
and the sacrifice and libations thereof, as the ceremonies require, and
a buck goat for sin:
15:25. And the priest shall pray for all the multitude of the children
of Israel: and it shall be forgiven them, because they sinned
ignorantly, offering notwithstanding a burnt offering to the Lord for
themselves and for their sin and their Ignorance:
15:26. And it shall be forgiven all the people of the children of
Israel: and the strangers that sojourn among them: because it is the
fault of all the people through ignorance.
15:27. But if one soul shall sin ignorantly, he shall offer a she goat
of a year old for his sin.
15:28. And the priest shall pray for him, because he sinned ignorantly
before the Lord: and he shall obtain his pardon, and it shall be
forgiven him.
15:29. The same law shall be for all that sin by ignorance, whether
they be natives or strangers.
15:30. But the soul that committeth any thing through pride, whether he
be born in the land or a stranger (because he hath been rebellious
against the Lord) shall be cut off from among his people:
15:31. For he hath contemned the word of the Lord, and made void his
precept: therefore shall he be destroyed, and shall bear his iniquity.
15:32. And it came to pass, when the children of Israel were in the
wilderness, and had found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day,
15:33. That they brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole
multitude.
15:34. And they put him into prison, not knowing what they should do
with him.
15:35. And the Lord said to Moses: Let that man die, let all the
multitude stone him without the camp.
15:36. And when they had brought him out, they stoned him, and he died
as the Lord had commanded.
15:37. The Lord also said to Moses:
15:38. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt tell them to
make to themselves fringes in the corners of their garments, putting in
them ribands of blue:
Fringes.... The Pharisees enlarged these fringes through hypocrisy,
Matt. 23.5, to appear more zealous than other men for the law of God.
15:39. That when they shall see them, they may remember all the
commandments of the Lord, and not follow their own thoughts and eyes
going astray after divers things,
15:40. But rather being mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do
them and be holy to their God.
15:41. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of
Egypt, that I might be your God.
