John Calvin on Leviticus 7:37-38

37. This is the law of the burnt-offering. In this conclusion Moses indicates that full provision had been made lest any addition should insinuate itself from man’s inventions to vitiate the sacrifices. In the day, he says, that God appointed the sacrifices to be offered to Him on Mount Sinai, He omitted nothing which was to be observed, lest men should dare to introduce anything except what He prescribed. And surely, when He had thus carefully embraced all the ceremonies, we may easily infer from hence how earnestly we should avoid all temerity and audacity in invention. The design, therefore, of Moses was in this brief admonition to exhort the people to soberness, lest they should transgress the limits placed by God.

Numbers 15

Numbers 15:1-16

1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

1. Loquutus est autem Jehova ad Mosen, dicendo:

2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,

2. Loquere ad filios Israel, et dicas els, Quum ingressi fueritis terraim habitationum vestrarum quas ego daturus sum vobis:

3. And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:

3. Et facere voletis oblationem ignitam Jehovae holocaustum vel sacrificium, ut solvatis votum aut sponte vestra, ant in solennitatibus vestris, ut faciatis odorem quietis Jehovae de bobus aut ex pecudibus:

4. Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil.

4. Tunc offeret offerens oblationem suam Jehove pro minha similae decimam partem mistam cum quarta parte olei.

5. And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.

5. Et vini pro libamine quartam partem hin facies super holocaustum, aut ultra sacrificium pro agno uno.

6. Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.

6. Aut pro ariete facies minham similae duas decimas permistae cum olci tertia parte hin.

7. And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

7. Et vini pro libamine tertiam partem hin offeretis in odorem quietis Jehovah.

8. And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:

8. Quod si facere voles juveneum in holocaustum, aut sacrificium ad solvendum votum, aut sacrificia prosperitatum Jehovae:

9. Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.

9. Offeres una cum juvenco minham, similae tres decimas permistae cum olei dimidia parte hin.

10. And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

10. Et vinum offeres pro libamine dimidiam partem hin: oblationem ignitam odoris quietis Jehovae.

11. Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.

11. Sic facies bovi uni, aut arieti uni, aut foetui tam de ovibus quam de capris.

12. According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.

12. Juxta numerum quem facietis singulis juxta numerum illorum.

13. All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

13. Omnis civis lacier sic ista ut offerat oblationem odoris quietis Jehovah.

14. And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.

14. Et quum peregrinatus fuerit apud vos peregrinus, aut quicunque est in medio vestri per generationes vestras, feceritque oblationem ignitam odoris quietis Jehovae, quemadmodum facietis sic faciet.

15. One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.

15. O congregatio, statutum unum erit vobis et peregrino qui peregrinatur apud vos: statutum inquam perpetuum per generationes vestras: sicut vos sic et peregrinus erit coram Jehova.

16. One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

16. Lex una et norma una erit vobis et peregrino qui peregrinatur apud vos.
