Numbers 15:15-25

15As for the assembly, there shall be one [and the same] statute for you [of the congregation] and for the stranger who is a resident alien with you, a permanent statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.

16There is to be one law and one ordinance for you and for the stranger who lives with you as a resident alien.’ ”

17Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

18“Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When you enter the land to which I am bringing you,

19then, when you eat the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering (heave offering) to the Lord.

20You shall lift up a cake made of the first of your [ground grain which has been made into] dough as an offering [to the Lord]; as an offering from the threshing floor, so shall you lift it up.

21From the first of your dough (ground grain) you shall give to the Lord an offering throughout your generations.

22‘But when you unintentionally fail and do not observe all these commandments, which the Lord has spoken to Moses,

23even all that the Lord has commanded you through Moses, from the day that the Lord gave commandments and onward throughout your generations,

24then it shall be, if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull as a burnt offering, as a sweet and soothing aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat as a sin offering.

25Then the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they will be forgiven, for it was an error and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their error.
