Bible/King James/Documentary Hypothesis/Redaction Sources/Additional Rituals

<Bible, English, King James, According to the documentary hypothesis

In the documentary hypothesis several portions of the torah that are believed to have been added by the redactor cover additional rituals and laws not explicitely specified in the 4 major sources of the Torah. Various theories exist as to whether the redactor created these laws themself, or if they are independant sources, or if they reflect a pre-existing tradition that the redactor codified.

• The instruction ordering people to actually live in tents during the feast of booths (Sukkot) - Leviticus 23:39-44
• The law of Heave offerings Numbers 15:17-21
• The law of offerings for forgivness of sin through Ignorance Numbers 15:22-31 (immediately followed by the Priestly source stating that a foreign man should be stoned to death for collecting sticks on the sabbath)
• The laws of Burnt offerings
  • The law of Meat and Drink offerings Numbers 15:1-16
  • The law of Continual Meat and Drink offerings Numbers 28:1-31
  • The law of Offerings on the Feast of Trumpets Numbers 29:1-40

The numbering exists only for the ease of modern readers, and do not reflect in any way any such numbering or partitioning in the original text

The Feast of Booths

1 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.

2 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.

3 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

4 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:

5 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

6 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.

The Law of Heave offerings

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,

3 Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.

4 Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.

5 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations.

The Law of offerings for forgivness of sin through Ignorance

1 If ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,

2 Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;

3 Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.

4 And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:

5 And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.

6 And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.

7 And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

8 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.

9 But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

10 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

The Laws of Burnt Offerings

The Law of Meat and Drink offerings

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

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,

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,

A Of the herd or of the flock:

i 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.

ii 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.

B Or for a ram,

i Thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.

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

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

ii 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.

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

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

4 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.

5 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.

A 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:

B As ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.

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

The Law of Continual Meat and Drink offerings

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
