Numbers 15:3Easy To Read Versionyou must give special offerings made by fire to the Lord. Their smell will please the Lord. You will use your cows, sheep, and goats for burnt offerings, sacrifices, special promises, special gifts, fellowship offerings, or special holidays. See the chapter |
“Tell the people of Israel: A person might make a special promise to the Lord. That person might promise to give a person to the Lord. {That person will then serve the Lord in a special way.} The priest must set a price for that person. {People will have to pay that price if they want to buy the person back from the Lord.}
Then the Lord will choose a place to be his special house. The Lord will put his name there. And you must bring all the things I command you to that place. Bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices, one tenth of your crops and animals, [75] your special gifts, any gifts you promised to the Lord, and the first animals born in your herd and flock.
“There are some things you must not eat in the places where you live. These things are: the part of your grain that belongs to God, the part of your new wine and oil that belongs to God, the first animals born in your herd or flock, any gift that you promised to God, any special gifts you want to give or any other gifts for God.
