"‘For a ram, prepare one gallon of fine flour mixed with one-and-one-third quarts of olive oil;

while for the drink offering, you are to present one-and-one-third quarts of wine as a fragrant aroma for Adonai .

(v) "‘When you prepare a bull as a burnt offering, as a sacrifice to fulfill a special vow or as peace offerings for Adonai ,

For the drink offering, present two quarts of wine for an offering made by fire, a fragant aroma for Adonai .

"‘Do it this way for each bull, ram, male lamb or kid.

For as many animals as you prepare, do this for each one, regardless of how many animals there are.

"‘Every citizen is to do these things in this way when presenting an offering made by fire as a fragrant aroma for Adonai .

If a foreigner stays with you — or whoever may be with you, through all your generations — and he wants to bring an offering made by fire as a fragrant aroma for Adonai , he is to do the same as you.

For this community there will be the same law for you as for the foreigner living with you; this is a permanent regulation through all your generations; the foreigner is to be treated the same way before Adonai as yourselves.

and eat bread produced in the land, you are to set aside a portion as a gift for Adonai .

then, if it was done by mistake by the community and was not known to them, the whole community is to offer one young bull for a burnt offering as a fragrant aroma to Adonai , with its grain and drink offerings, in keeping with the rule, and one male goat as a sin offering.

The cohen is to make atonement for the whole community of the people of Isra'el; and they will be forgiven; because it was a mistake; and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire, to Adonai , and their sin offering before Adonai for their mistake.

The whole community of the people of Isra'el will be forgiven, likewise the foreigner staying with them; because for all the people it was a mistake.

The cohen will make atonement before Adonai for the person who makes a mistake by sinning inadvertently; he will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven —

no matter whether he is a citizen of Isra'el or a foreigner living with them. You are to have one law for whoever it is that does something wrong by mistake.

Because he has had contempt for the word of Adonai and has disobeyed his command, that person will be cut off completely; his offense will remain with him.'"

It is to be a tzitzit for you to look at and thereby remember all of Adonai 's mitzvot and obey them, so that you won't go around wherever your own heart and eyes lead you to prostitute yourselves;

but it will help you remember and obey all my mitzvot and be holy for your God.

I am Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt in order to be your God. I am Adonai your God." Haftarah Shlach L'kha: Y'hoshua (Joshua) 2:1–24 B'rit Hadashah suggested reading for Parashah Shlach L'kha: Messianic Jews (Hebrews) 3:7–19

Is it for you a mere trifle that the God of Isra'el has separated you from the community of Isra'el to bring you close to himself, so that you can do the work in the tabernacle of Adonai and stand before the community serving them?
