(א) וַיְדַבֵּר י״י אֶל מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר. (ב) שְׁלַח לְךָ אֲנָשִׁים וְיָתֻרוּ אֶת אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי נֹתֵן לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אִישׁ אֶחָד אִישׁ אֶחָד לְמַטֵּה אֲבֹתָיו תִּשְׁלָחוּ כֹּל נָשִׂיא בָהֶם. (ג) וַיִּשְׁלַח אֹתָם מֹשֶׁה מִמִּדְבַּר פָּארָן עַל פִּי י״י כֻּלָּם אֲנָשִׁים רָאשֵׁי בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הֵמָּה. (ד) וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹתָם לְמַטֵּה רְאוּבֵן שַׁמּוּעַ בֶּן זַכּוּר.

פרק יד

(א) וַתִּשָּׂא כׇּל הָעֵדָה וַיִּתְּנוּ אֶת קוֹלָם וַיִּבְכּוּ הָעָם בַּלַּיְלָה הַהוּא. (ב) וַיִּלֹּנוּ עַל מֹשֶׁה וְעַל אַהֲרֹן כֹּל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲלֵהֶם כׇּל הָעֵדָה לוּ מַתְנוּ בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם אוֹ בַּמִּדְבָּר הַזֶּה לוּ מָתְנוּ. (ג) וְלָמָה י״י מֵבִיא אֹתָנוּ אֶל הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת לִנְפֹּל בַּחֶרֶב נָשֵׁינוּ וְטַפֵּנוּ יִהְיוּ לָבַז הֲלוֹא טוֹב לָנוּ שׁוּב מִצְרָיְמָה. (ד) וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל אָחִיו נִתְּנָה רֹאשׁ וְנָשׁוּבָה מִצְרָיְמָה. (ה) וַיִּפֹּל מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן עַל פְּנֵיהֶם לִפְנֵי כׇּל קְהַל עֲדַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל. (ו) וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן נוּן וְכָלֵב בֶּן יְפֻנֶּה מִן הַתָּרִים אֶת הָאָרֶץ קָרְעוּ בִּגְדֵיהֶם. (ז) וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶל כׇּל עֲדַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר עָבַרְנוּ בָהּ לָתוּר אֹתָהּ טוֹבָה הָאָרֶץ מְאֹד מְאֹד. (ח) אִם חָפֵץ בָּנוּ י״י וְהֵבִיא אֹתָנוּ אֶל הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת וּנְתָנָהּ לָנוּ אֶרֶץ אֲשֶׁר הִוא זָבַת חָלָב וּדְבָשׁ. (ט) אַךְ בַּי״י אַל תִּמְרֹדוּ וְאַתֶּם אַל תִּירְאוּ אֶת עַם הָאָרֶץ כִּי לַחְמֵנוּ הֵם סָר צִלָּם מֵעֲלֵיהֶם וַי״י אִתָּנוּ אַל תִּירָאֻם. (י) וַיֹּאמְרוּ כׇּל הָעֵדָה לִרְגּוֹם אֹתָם בָּאֲבָנִים וּכְבוֹד י״י נִרְאָה בְּאֹהֶל מוֹעֵד אֶל כׇּל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל. (יא) וַיֹּאמֶר י״י אֶל מֹשֶׁה עַד אָנָה יְנַאֲצֻנִי הָעָם הַזֶּה וְעַד אָנָה לֹא יַאֲמִינוּ בִי בְּכֹל הָאֹתוֹת אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי בְּקִרְבּוֹ. (יב) אַכֶּנּוּ בַדֶּבֶר וְאוֹרִשֶׁנּוּ וְאֶעֱשֶׂה אֹתְךָ לְגוֹי גָּדוֹל וְעָצוּם מִמֶּנּוּ. (יג) וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה אֶל י״י וְשָׁמְעוּ מִצְרַיִם כִּי הֶעֱלִיתָ בְכֹחֲךָ אֶת הָעָם הַזֶּה מִקִּרְבּוֹ. (יד) וְאָמְרוּ אֶל יוֹשֵׁב הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת שָׁמְעוּ כִּי אַתָּה י״י בְּקֶרֶב הָעָם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר עַיִן בְּעַיִן נִרְאָה אַתָּה י״י וַעֲנָנְךָ עֹמֵד עֲלֵהֶם וּבְעַמֻּד עָנָן אַתָּה הֹלֵךְ לִפְנֵיהֶם יוֹמָם וּבְעַמּוּד אֵשׁ לָיְלָה. (טו) וְהֵמַתָּה אֶת הָעָם הַזֶּה כְּאִישׁ אֶחָד וְאָמְרוּ הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר שָׁמְעוּ אֶת שִׁמְעֲךָ לֵאמֹר. (טז) מִבִּלְתִּי יְכֹלֶת י״י לְהָבִיא אֶת הָעָם הַזֶּה אֶל הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לָהֶם וַיִּשְׁחָטֵם בַּמִּדְבָּר. (יז) וְעַתָּה יִגְדַּל נָא כֹּחַ אֲדֹנָי כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתָּ לֵאמֹר. (יח) י״י אֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם וְרַב חֶסֶד נֹשֵׂא עָוֺן וָפָשַׁע וְנַקֵּה לֹא יְנַקֶּה פֹּקֵד עֲוֺן אָבוֹת עַל בָּנִים עַל שִׁלֵּשִׁים וְעַל רִבֵּעִים. (יט) סְלַח נָא לַעֲוֺן הָעָם הַזֶּה כְּגֹדֶל חַסְדֶּךָ וְכַאֲשֶׁר נָשָׂאתָה לָעָם הַזֶּה מִמִּצְרַיִם וְעַד הֵנָּה. (כ) וַיֹּאמֶר י״י סָלַחְתִּי כִּדְבָרֶךָ. (כא) וְאוּלָם חַי אָנִי וְיִמָּלֵא כְבוֹד י״י אֶת כׇּל הָאָרֶץ. (כב) כִּי כׇל הָאֲנָשִׁים הָרֹאִים אֶת כְּבֹדִי וְאֶת אֹתֹתַי אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי בְמִצְרַיִם וּבַמִּדְבָּר וַיְנַסּוּ אֹתִי זֶה עֶשֶׂר פְּעָמִים וְלֹא שָׁמְעוּ בְּקוֹלִי. (כג) אִם יִרְאוּ אֶת הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי לַאֲבֹתָם וְכׇל מְנַאֲצַי לֹא יִרְאוּהָ. (כד) וְעַבְדִּי כָלֵב עֵקֶב הָיְתָה רוּחַ אַחֶרֶת עִמּוֹ וַיְמַלֵּא אַחֲרָי וַהֲבִיאֹתִיו אֶל הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר בָּא שָׁמָּה וְזַרְעוֹ יוֹרִשֶׁנָּה. (כה) וְהָעֲמָלֵקִי וְהַכְּנַעֲנִי יוֹשֵׁב בָּעֵמֶק מָחָר פְּנוּ וּסְעוּ לָכֶם הַמִּדְבָּר דֶּרֶךְ יַם סוּף. (כו) וַיְדַבֵּר י״י אֶל מֹשֶׁה וְאֶל אַהֲרֹן לֵאמֹר. (כז) עַד מָתַי לָעֵדָה הָרָעָה הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר הֵמָּה מַלִּינִים עָלָי אֶת תְּלֻנּוֹת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר הֵמָּה מַלִּינִים עָלַי שָׁמָעְתִּי. (כח) אֱמֹר אֲלֵהֶם חַי אָנִי נְאֻם י״י אִם לֹא כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתֶּם בְּאׇזְנָי כֵּן אֶעֱשֶׂה לָכֶם. (כט) בַּמִּדְבָּר הַזֶּה יִפְּלוּ פִגְרֵיכֶם וְכׇל פְּקֻדֵיכֶם לְכׇל מִסְפַּרְכֶם מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וָמָעְלָה אֲשֶׁר הֲלִינֹתֶם עָלָי. (ל) אִם אַתֶּם תָּבֹאוּ אֶל הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נָשָׂאתִי אֶת יָדִי לְשַׁכֵּן אֶתְכֶם בָּהּ כִּי אִם כָּלֵב בֶּן יְפֻנֶּה וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן נוּן. (לא) וְטַפְּכֶם אֲשֶׁר אֲמַרְתֶּם לָבַז יִהְיֶה וְהֵבֵיאתִי אֹתָם וְיָדְעוּ אֶת הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר מְאַסְתֶּם בָּהּ. (לב) וּפִגְרֵיכֶם אַתֶּם יִפְּלוּ בַּמִּדְבָּר הַזֶּה. (לג) וּבְנֵיכֶם יִהְיוּ רֹעִים בַּמִּדְבָּר אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה וְנָשְׂאוּ אֶת זְנוּתֵיכֶם עַד תֹּם פִּגְרֵיכֶם בַּמִּדְבָּר. (לד) בְּמִסְפַּר הַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר תַּרְתֶּם אֶת הָאָרֶץ אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם יוֹם לַשָּׁנָה יוֹם לַשָּׁנָה תִּשְׂאוּ אֶת עֲוֺנֹתֵיכֶם אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה וִידַעְתֶּם אֶת תְּנוּאָתִי. (לה) אֲנִי י״י דִּבַּרְתִּי אִם לֹא זֹאת אֶעֱשֶׂה לְכׇל הָעֵדָה הָרָעָה הַזֹּאת הַנּוֹעָדִים עָלָי בַּמִּדְבָּר הַזֶּה יִתַּמּוּ וְשָׁם יָמֻתוּ. (לו) וְהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַח מֹשֶׁה לָתוּר אֶת הָאָרֶץ וַיָּשֻׁבוּ [וַיַּלִּינוּ] (וילונו) עָלָיו אֶת כׇּל הָעֵדָה לְהוֹצִיא דִבָּה עַל הָאָרֶץ. (לז) וַיָּמֻתוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים מוֹצִאֵי דִבַּת הָאָרֶץ רָעָה בַּמַּגֵּפָה לִפְנֵי י״י. (לח) וִיהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן נוּן וְכָלֵב בֶּן יְפֻנֶּה חָיוּ מִן הָאֲנָשִׁים הָהֵם הַהֹלְכִים לָתוּר אֶת הָאָרֶץ. (לט) וַיְדַבֵּר מֹשֶׁה אֶת הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֶל כׇּל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּתְאַבְּלוּ הָעָם מְאֹד. (מ) וַיַּשְׁכִּמוּ בַבֹּקֶר וַיַּעֲלוּ אֶל רֹאשׁ הָהָר לֵאמֹר הִנֶּנּוּ וְעָלִינוּ אֶל הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אָמַר י״י כִּי חָטָאנוּ. (מא) וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה לָמָּה זֶּה אַתֶּם עֹבְרִים אֶת פִּי י״י וְהִוא לֹא תִצְלָח. (מב) אַל תַּעֲלוּ כִּי אֵין י״י בְּקִרְבְּכֶם וְלֹא תִּנָּגְפוּ לִפְנֵי אֹיְבֵיכֶם. (מג) כִּי הָעֲמָלֵקִי וְהַכְּנַעֲנִי שָׁם לִפְנֵיכֶם וּנְפַלְתֶּם בֶּחָרֶב כִּי עַל כֵּן שַׁבְתֶּם מֵאַחֲרֵי י״י וְלֹא יִהְיֶה י״י עִמָּכֶם. (מד) וַיַּעְפִּלוּ לַעֲלוֹת אֶל רֹאשׁ הָהָר וַאֲרוֹן בְּרִית י״י וּמֹשֶׁה לֹא מָשׁוּ מִקֶּרֶב הַמַּחֲנֶה. (מה) וַיֵּרֶד הָעֲמָלֵקִי וְהַכְּנַעֲנִי הַיֹּשֵׁב בָּהָר הַהוּא וַיַּכּוּם וַיַּכְּתוּם עַד הַחׇרְמָה.

Chapter 13

(1) Hashem spoke to Moses, saying, (2) "Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the Children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince among them." (3) Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Hashem; all of them men who were heads of the Children of Israel. (4) These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. (5) Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. (6) Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. (7) Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. (8) Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun. (9) Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. (10) Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. (11) Of the tribe of Joseph, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. (12) Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. (13) Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. (14) Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. (15) Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. (16) These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua. (17) Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country. (18) And see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell there, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many; (19) and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds; (20) and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be courageous, and bring of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes. (21) So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath. (22) They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt. (23) They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs. (24) That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the Children of Israel cut down from there. (25) They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. (26) They went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the Children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and they showed them the fruit of the land. (27) They told him and said, "We came to the land where you sent us; and surely it flows with milk and honey. And this is its fruit. (28) However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the children of Anak there. (29) Amalek dwells in the land of the South, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea and along by the side of the Jordan." (30) Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it." (31) But the men who went up with him said, "We aren't able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we." (32) They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the Children of Israel, saying, "The land through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature. (33) There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."

Chapter 14

(1) All the congregation lifted up their voice and cried; and the people wept that night. (2) All the Children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole congregation said to them, "Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would that we had died in this wilderness! (3) Why does Hashem bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey. Wouldn't it be better for us to return into Egypt?" (4) They said one to another, "Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt." (5) Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the Children of Israel. (6) Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh who were of those who spied out the land tore their clothes. (7) They spoke to all the congregation of the Children of Israel, saying, "The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land. (8) If Hashem delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey. (9) Only don't rebel against Hashem. And you, do not fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from over them, and Hashem is with us. Don't fear them." (10) But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The glory of Hashem appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the Children of Israel. (11) Hashem said to Moses, "How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them? (12) I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they." (13) Moses said to Hashem, "Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them, (14) and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you Hashem are in the midst of this people; for you Hashem are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night. (15) Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard of your fame will speak, saying, (16) 'Because Hashem was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.' (17) Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying, (18) 'Hashem is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.' (19) Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now." (20) Hashem said, "I have pardoned according to your word. (21) But, as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Hashem; (22) because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice; (23) surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it. (24) But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went; and his seed shall possess it. (25) Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley. Tomorrow, turn and go into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea." (26) Hashem spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, (27) "How long shall I bear with this evil congregation that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the Children of Israel, which they murmur against me. (28) Tell them, 'As I live,' says Hashem, 'surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you. (29) Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me. (30) Surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. (31) But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, they I will bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected. (32) But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. (33) Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness. (34) According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.' (35) I, Hashem, have spoken, surely this will I do to all this evil congregation, who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die." (36) The men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up an evil report against the land, (37) those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Hashem. (38) But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land. (39) Moses told these words to all the Children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly. (40) They rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, "Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Hashem has promised, for we have sinned." (41) Moses said, "Why now do you disobey the commandment of Hashem, since it shall not prosper? (42) Don't go up, for Hashem isn't among you; that you not be struck down before your enemies. (43) For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you shall fall by the sword. Because you are turned back from following Hashem, therefore Hashem will not be with you." (44) But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain, but the ark of the covenant of Hashem, and Moses, didn't depart out of the camp. (45) Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down, even to Hormah.

Chapter 15

(1) Hashem spoke to Moses, saying, (2) "Speak to the Children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you, (3) and will make an offering by fire to Hashem, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Hashem, of the herd, or of the flock; (4) then he who offers his offering shall offer to Hashem a meal offering of a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil. (5) And you shall prepare wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb. (6) Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil. (7) And for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant aroma to Hashem. (8) When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Hashem; (9) then shall he offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil. (10) And you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Hashem. (11) Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats. (12) According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number. (13) All who are native-born shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Hashem. (14) If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Hashem; as you do, so he shall do. (15) For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner, a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the foreigner be before Hashem. (16) One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you." (17) Hashem spoke to Moses, saying, (18) "Speak to the Children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land where I bring you, (19) then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Hashem. (20) Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering, as the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall lift it up. (21) Of the first of your dough you shall give to Hashem a wave offering throughout your generations. (22) When you shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Hashem has spoken to Moses, (23) even all that Hashem has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Hashem gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations; (24) then it shall be, if it is done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Hashem, with its meal offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering. (25) The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the Children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Hashem, and their sin offering before Hashem, for their error. (26) And all the congregation of the Children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly. (27) If one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering. (28) The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly before Hashem, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. (29) You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the Children of Israel and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them. (30) But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, he is blaspheming Hashem; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. (31) Because he has despised the word of Hashem, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be on him." (32) While the Children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. (33) Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. (34) They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him. (35) Hashem said to Moses, "The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp." (36) All the congregation brought him outside of the camp and stoned him to death with stones as Hashem commanded Moses. (37) Hashem said to Moshe saying, (38) "Speak to the Children of Israel, and say to them that they shall make for themselves fringesfringes | צִיצִת – See Yechezkel 8:3 where the word refers to a lock of hair, borrowed here to refer to a tassel of threads. Alternatively, see Rashi that the word stems from the verb "לצוץ", to see or peak, and the fringes are so called because of the command of verse 39, "וְהָיָה לָכֶם לְצִיצִת וּרְאִיתֶם אֹתוֹ" ("...and you shall look at them"). on the cornersthe corners of | כַּנְפֵי – The word often refers to "wings", but it can also refer to any extremity; hence, with regards to a garment, in means the hem or corner. of their garments throughout their generations, and they shall put onon | עַל – See Chizkuni that here the connotation is: "with", or "in addition to", and compare such usage in Shemot 35:22 and Yirmeyahu 3:18. the fringes of the corners a cord of blue.⁠blue | | תְּכֵלֶת – See the note on Shemot 25:4 for discussion of this color. This blue cord is reminiscent of the blue cord which was tied to the high priest's head plate (ציץ), perhaps suggesting that these fringes serve to mark all of Israel as a "kingdom of priests" (Shemot 19:6). (39) It shall be for you as fringes, and you shall see ityou shall see it | וּרְאִיתֶם אֹתוֹ – See Ibn Ezra who learns form here that it is a commandment that the fringes be worn in a way that they are visible. and rememberand remember | וּזְכַרְתֶּם – See R"Y Bekhor Shor that just as a king marks his servants with a seal to remind them of their subjugation to him, so too the fringes should remind the people of Israel that they are servants to Hashem. all the commandments of Hashem and do them, and you shall not wanderwander | תָתוּרוּ – See Shadal on Bemidbar 13:3 that the verb means "to go around" (connecting it to the verb "תאר", to outline), with the connotation here being that one should not wander after the desires of one's heart and eyes. Elsewhere in Tanakh, the word is often translated as: "scout" or "seek out", and if adopted here, the verse might mean that one should not look into and explore thoughts and sights that might lead one astray. This specific verb might have been chosen to allude back to the story of the spies (or "scouts") of Bemidbar 13-14 where it appears twelve times (see Rashi). after your heart and after your eyes, after which you go astray; (40) so you shall remember and do all My commandments, and you shall be holy to your God.
