1 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων 2 λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς ὅταν εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν γῆν τῆς κατοικήσεως ὑμῶν ἣν ἐγὼ δίδωμι ὑμῖν 3 καὶ ποιήσεις ὁλοκαυτώματα κυρίῳ ὁλοκάρπωμα ἢ θυσίαν μεγαλῦναι εὐχὴν ἢ κα{Q'} ἑκούσιον ἢ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς ὑμῶν ποιῆσαι ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας κυρίῳ εἰ μὲν ἀπὸ τῶν βοῶν ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων 4 καὶ προσοίσει ὁ προσφέρων τὸ δῶρον αὐτοῦ κυρίῳ θυσίαν σεμιδάλεως δέκατον τοῦ οιφι ἀναπεποιημένης ἐν ἐλαίῳ ἐν τετάρτῳ τοῦ ιν 5 καὶ οἶνον εἰς σπονδὴν τὸ τέταρτον τοῦ ιν ποιήσετε ἐπὶ τῆς ὁλοκαυτώσεως ἢ ἐπὶ τῆς θυσίας τῷ ἀμνῷ τῷ ἑνὶ ποιήσεις τοσοῦτο κάρπωμα ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας τῷ κυρίῳ 6 καὶ τῷ κριῷ ὅταν ποιῆτε αὐτὸν ἢ εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα ἢ εἰς θυσίαν ποιήσεις θυσίαν σεμιδάλεως δύο δέκατα ἀναπεποιημένης ἐν ἐλαίῳ τὸ τρίτον τοῦ ιν 7 καὶ οἶνον εἰς σπονδὴν τὸ τρίτον τοῦ ιν προσοίσετε εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας κυρίῳ 8 ἐὰν δὲ ἀπὸ τῶν βοῶν ποιῆτε εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα ἢ εἰς θυσίαν μεγαλῦναι εὐχὴν ἢ εἰς σωτήριον κυρίῳ 9 καὶ προσοίσει ἐπὶ τοῦ μόσχου θυσίαν σεμιδάλεως τρία δέκατα ἀναπεποιημένης ἐν ἐλαίῳ ἥμισυ τοῦ ιν 10 καὶ οἶνον εἰς σπονδὴν τὸ ἥμισυ τοῦ ιν κάρπωμα ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας κυρίῳ 11 οὕτως ποιήσεις τῷ μόσχῳ τῷ ἑνὶ ἢ τῷ κριῷ τῷ ἑνὶ ἢ τῷ ἀμνῷ τῷ ἑνὶ ἐκ τῶν προβάτων ἢ ἐκ τῶν αἰγῶν 12 κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν ὧν ἐὰν ποιήσητε οὕτω ποιήσετε τῷ ἑνὶ κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν αὐτῶν 13 πᾶς ὁ αὐτόχθων ποιήσει οὕτως τοιαῦτα προσενέγκαι καρπώματα εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας κυρίῳ 14 ἐὰν δὲ προσήλυτος ἐν ὑμῖν προσγένηται ἐν τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν ἢ ὃς ἂν γένηται ἐν ὑμῖν ἐν ταῖς γενεαῖς ὑμῶν καὶ ποιήσει κάρπωμα ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας κυρίῳ ὃν τρόπον ποιεῖτε ὑμεῖς οὕτως ποιήσει ἡ συναγωγὴ κυρίῳ 15 νόμος εἷς ἔσται ὑμῖν καὶ τοῖς προσηλύτοις τοῖς προσκειμένοις ἐν ὑμῖν νόμος αἰώνιος εἰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν ὡς ὑμεῖς καὶ ὁ προσήλυτος ἔσται ἔναντι κυρίου

1 The Lord gave Moses this message 2 for the sons of Israel: Here are rules to be kept, when you have reached the settled home I mean to give you. 3 When you offer the Lord ox or sheep in burnt-sacrifice, or by way of welcome-offering (whether in payment of a vow, or out of devotion, or because you would greet the Lord with acceptable fragrance on occasion of some solemn feast), 4 the man who is immolating such a victim must make the Lord a bloodless offering as well. This must be a tenth of a bushel of flour, kneaded in three pints of oil, 5 with the same measure of wine for a libation, for every lamb offered.[1] 6 For every ram a fifth of a bushel of flour, two quarts of oil, 7 and the same measure of wine, a fragrant offering for the Lord’s acceptance. 8 But when, by way of burnt-sacrifice, or offering for a vow, or welcome-offering, thy victim is a bullock, 9 with each bullock thou must use three tenths of a bushel of flour, six pints of oil, 10 and the same measure of wine, a fragrant offering, this too, for the Lord’s acceptance. 11 A separate offering must be made 12 to go with each bullock, or ram, or lamb, or kid. 13 Native-born or foreign residents, 14 all must use the same rite in doing sacrifice; 15 precept and award are binding on you and on the aliens that dwell with you, without distinction.

1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: 2 Loquere ad filios Israël, et dices ad eos: Cum ingressi fueritis terram habitationis vestræ, quam ego dabo vobis, 3 et feceritis oblationem Domino in holocaustum, aut victimam, vota solventes, vel sponte offerentes munera, aut in solemnitatibus vestris adolentes odorem suavitatis Domino, de bobus sive de ovibus: 4 offeret quicumque immolaverit victimam, sacrificium similæ, decimam partem ephi, conspersæ oleo, quod mensuram habebit quartam partem hin: 5 et vinum ad liba fundenda ejusdem mensuræ dabit in holocaustum sive in victimam. Per agnos singulos 6 et arietes erit sacrificium similæ duarum decimarum, quæ conspersa sit oleo tertiæ partis hin: 7 et vinum ad libamentum tertiæ partis ejusdem mensuræ offeret in odorem suavitatis Domino. 8 Quando vero de bobus feceris holocaustum aut hostiam, ut impleas votum vel pacificas victimas, 9 dabis per singulos boves similæ tres decimas conspersæ oleo, quod habeat medium mensuræ hin: 10 et vinum ad liba fundenda ejusdem mensuræ in oblationem suavissimi odoris Domino. 11 Sic facies 12 per singulos boves et arietis et agnos et hædos. 13 Tam indigenæ quam peregrini 14 eodem ritu offerent sacrificia. 15 Unum præceptum erit atque judicium tam vobis quam advenis terræ.

16 νόμος εἷς ἔσται καὶ δικαίωμα ἓν ἔσται ὑμῖν καὶ τῷ προσηλύτῳ τῷ προσκειμένῳ ἐν ὑμῖν 17 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων 18 λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν γῆν εἰς ἣν ἐγὼ εἰσάγω ὑμᾶς ἐκεῖ 19 καὶ ἔσται ὅταν ἔσθητε ὑμεῖς ἀπὸ τῶν ἄρτων τῆς γῆς ἀφελεῖτε ἀφαίρεμα ἀφόρισμα κυρίῳ 20 ἀπαρχὴν φυράματος ὑμῶν ἄρτον ἀφαίρεμα ἀφοριεῖτε αὐτό ὡς ἀφαίρεμα ἀπὸ ἅλω οὕτως ἀφελεῖτε αὐτόν 21 ἀπαρχὴν φυράματος ὑμῶν καὶ δώσετε κυρίῳ ἀφαίρεμα εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν

16 And the Lord gave Moses this command, 17 to be laid on the sons of Israel: 18 When you have reached the land I mean to give you, 19 you must not eat the bread its harvest yields without assigning to the Lord first-fruits 20 from your table. Just as you set apart first-fruits when your corn is threshed, 21 you must give the Lord the first share when your dough is kneaded.

16 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: 17 Loquere filiis Israël, et dices ad eos: 18 Cum veneritis in terram, quam dabo vobis, 19 et comederitis de panibus regionis illius, separabitis primitias Domino 20 de cibis vestris. Sicut de areis primitias separatis, 21 ita et de pulmentis dabitis primitiva Domino.

22 ὅταν δὲ διαμάρτητε καὶ μὴ ποιήσητε πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς ταύτας ἃς ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν 23 καθὰ συνέταξεν κύριος πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἧς συνέταξεν κύριος πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐπέκεινα εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν 24 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἐξ ὀφθαλμῶν τῆς συναγωγῆς γενηθῇ ἀκουσίως καὶ ποιήσει πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ μόσχον ἕνα ἐκ βοῶν ἄμωμον εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας κυρίῳ καὶ θυσίαν τούτου καὶ σπονδὴν αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὴν σύνταξιν καὶ χίμαρον ἐξ αἰγῶν ἕνα περὶ ἁμαρτίας 25 καὶ ἐξιλάσεται ὁ ἱερεὺς περὶ πάσης συναγωγῆς υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ ἀφεθήσεται αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἀκούσιόν ἐστιν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἤνεγκαν τὸ δῶρον αὐτῶν κάρπωμα κυρίῳ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν ἔναντι κυρίου περὶ τῶν ἀκουσίων αὐτῶν 26 καὶ ἀφεθήσεται κατὰ πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ τῷ προσηλύτῳ τῷ προσκειμένῳ πρὸς ὑμᾶς ὅτι παντὶ τῷ λαῷ ἀκούσιον 27 ἐὰν δὲ ψυχὴ μία ἁμάρτῃ ἀκουσίως προσάξει αἶγα μίαν ἐνιαυσίαν περὶ ἁμαρτίας 28 καὶ ἐξιλάσεται ὁ ἱερεὺς περὶ τῆς ψυχῆς τῆς ἀκουσιασθείσης καὶ ἁμαρτούσης ἀκουσίως ἔναντι κυρίου ἐξιλάσασθαι περὶ αὐτοῦ 29 τῷ ἐγχωρίῳ ἐν υἱοῖς Ισραηλ καὶ τῷ προσηλύτῳ τῷ προσκειμένῳ ἐν αὐτοῖς νόμος εἷς ἔσται αὐτοῖς ὃς ἂν ποιήσῃ ἀκουσίως 30 καὶ ψυχή ἥτις ποιήσει ἐν χειρὶ ὑπερηφανίας ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτοχθόνων ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν προσηλύτων τὸν θεὸν οὗτος παροξύνει ἐξολεθρευθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ἐκείνη ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτῆς 31 ὅτι τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου ἐφαύλισεν καὶ τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ διεσκέδασεν ἐκτρίψει ἐκτριβήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ἐκείνη ἡ ἁμαρτία αὐτῆς ἐν αὐτῇ

22 It may be you will neglect one of these commandments through inadvertence; so many has the Lord given to Moses 23 to be handed on to you, from the day when first he spoke to you till now. 24 If it is the whole congregation that has thus unwittingly offended, they must offer a bullock, a burnt-sacrifice to please the Lord with the smell of its burning, and the bloodless offering and libations which due order demands; a goat, too, by way of offering for a fault.[2] 25 So the priest will make intercession for the whole congregation of Israel, and their fault shall be pardoned. It was an unwitting offence, and even so they have brought the Lord burnt-sacrifice, and a victim for fault, to atone for their error. 26 When the whole congregation is guilty of such a fault through inadvertence, not only the people of Israel, but all the aliens that dwell among them, will receive forgiveness. 27 If it is one person only that has unwittingly offended, the sacrifice due for the fault will be a yearling she-goat; 28 and when the priest makes intercession for what was inadvertently done amiss, grace and pardon will be given. 29 This law about faults of inadvertence must be observed by all alike, native-born or foreign resident. 30 But if anyone, citizen or alien, is guilty of an offence through pride, and in a spirit of rebellion against the Lord, he is lost to his people. 31 Would he despise the Lord’s word, annul his commandment? That fault deserves death, and he will be held to account for it.

22 Quod si per ignorantiam præterieritis quidquam horum, quæ locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, 23 et mandavit per eum ad vos, a die qua cœpit jubere et ultra, 24 oblitaque fuerit facere multitudo: offeret vitulum de armento, holocaustum in odorem suavissimum Domino, et sacrificum ejus ac liba, ut cæremoniæ postulant, hircumque pro peccato: 25 et rogabit sacerdos pro omni multitudine filiorum Israël, et dimittetur eis, quoniam non sponte peccaverunt, nihilominus offerentes incensum Domino pro se et pro peccato atque errore suo: 26 et dimittetur universæ plebi filiorum Israël, et advenis qui peregrinantur inter eos: quoniam culpa est omnis populi per ignorantiam. 27 Quod si anima una nesciens peccaverit, offeret capram anniculam pro peccato suo: 28 et deprecabitur pro ea sacerdos, quod inscia peccaverit coram Domino: impetrabitque ei veniam, et dimittetur illi. 29 Tam indigenis quam advenis una lex erit omnium, qui peccaverint ignorantes. 30 Anima vero, quæ per superbiam aliquid commiserit, sive civis sit ille, sive peregrinus (quoniam adversus Dominum rebellis fuit), peribit de populo suo: 31 verbum enim Domini contempsit, et præceptum illius fecit irritum: idcirco delebitur, et portabit iniquitatem suam.

32 καὶ ἦσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ εὗρον ἄνδρα συλλέγοντα ξύλα τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων 33 καὶ προσήγαγον αὐτὸν οἱ εὑρόντες αὐτὸν συλλέγοντα ξύλα τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ααρων καὶ πρὸς πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν υἱῶν Ισραηλ 34 καὶ ἀπέθεντο αὐτὸν εἰς φυλακήν οὐ γὰρ συνέκριναν τί ποιήσωσιν αὐτόν 35 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων θανάτῳ θανατούσθω ὁ ἄνθρωπος λιθοβολήσατε αὐτὸν λίθοις πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγή 36 καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ ἐλιθοβόλησαν αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ λίθοις ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς καθὰ συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ

32 It happened once, as the Israelites were passing through the desert that a man was found gathering firewood on the sabbath day. 33 When he was brought before Moses and Aaron and the common assembly of the people, 34 they put him in ward, uncertain what they should do with him. 35 But the Lord said to Moses, His life must pay for it; he must be stoned by the whole multitude, away from the camp. 36 So they took him out and stoned him to death, as the Lord had bidden them.

32 Factum est autem, cum essent filii Israël in solitudine, et invenissent hominem colligentem ligna in die sabbati, 33 obtulerunt eum Moysi et Aaron et universæ multitudini. 34 Qui recluserunt eum in carcerem, nescientes quid super eo facere deberent. 35 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Morte moriatur homo iste: obruat eum lapidibus omnis turba extra castra. 36 Cumque eduxissent eum foras, obruerunt lapidibus, et mortuus est, sicut præceperat Dominus.

37 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων 38 λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ ποιησάτωσαν ἑαυτοῖς κράσπεδα ἐπὶ τὰ πτερύγια τῶν ἱματίων αὐτῶν εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπιθήσετε ἐπὶ τὰ κράσπεδα τῶν πτερυγίων κλῶσμα ὑακίνθινον 39 καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν ἐν τοῖς κρασπέδοις καὶ ὄψεσθε αὐτὰ καὶ μνησθήσεσθε πασῶν τῶν ἐντολῶν κυρίου καὶ ποιήσετε αὐτὰς καὶ οὐ διαστραφήσεσθε ὀπίσω τῶν διανοιῶν ὑμῶν καὶ ὀπίσω τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν ὑμῶν ἐν οἷς ὑμεῖς ἐκπορνεύετε ὀπίσω αὐτῶν 40 ὅπως ἂν μνησθῆτε καὶ ποιήσητε πάσας τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ ἔσεσθε ἅγιοι τῷ θεῷ ὑμῶν 41 ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ὁ ἐξαγαγῶν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου εἶναι ὑμῶν θεός ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν

37 This, too, was the Lord’s word to Moses, 38 Bid the Israelites pass blue cords through the corners of their cloaks, and hang tassels on them; 39 reminding themselves, as they look on these, of all the commandments the Lord has given them. They must not let their thoughts and eyes wander free, into all manner of unfaithfulness, 40 but rather bethink them of the Lord’s decrees and carry them out, a people set apart for their God; 41 and that God the Lord, who brought them out of the land of Egypt to make them his own people.

37 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen: 38 Loquere filiis Israël, et dices ad eos ut faciant sibi fimbrias per angulos palliorum, ponentes in eis vittas hyacinthinas: 39 quas cum viderint, recordentur omnium mandatorum Domini, nec sequantur cogitationes suas et oculos per res varias fornicantes, 40 sed magis memores præceptorum Domini faciant ea, sintque sancti Deo suo. 41 Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Ægypti, ut essem Deus vester.

[1] The Latin text here appears to join the words ‘for every lamb offered’ with the sentence which follows; probably through some error, since it destroys the meaning of verse 5 by leaving the victim unspecified.

[2] In Lev. 4.13 sqq. the people, in similar circumstances, offers the bullock as a victim for fault, not in burnt-sacrifice, and there is no mention of the goat. Some think the reference there is to faults of commission, here to faults of omission. There is a similar discrepancy between verse 27 here and verses 27 sqq. of Lev. 4.
