NUMBERS 15

GOD PROVIDES INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPPLEMENTARY OFFERINGS

God gives Moses instructions for the sacrifices that the Israelites should make once they enter the Promised Land. Even though this is forty years away, God plans to keep His promise and bring the Israelites into Canaan. 

These laws apply to all of God’s chosen people and any foreigners who have turned to God and want to follow His ways. 

God gives instructions for sacrifices to atone for accidental sin. God takes the laws about Sabbath seriously, and He kills a man for working on the seventh day. The Israelites begin to put tassels on their clothing as a reminder of the commandments.
