Numbers 15:15-25

15The assembly is to have the same statute for both you and the resident alien as a permanent statute throughout your generations. You and the alien will be alike before the Lord.

16The same law and the same ordinance will apply to both you and the alien who resides with you.”

17The Lord instructed Moses,

18“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land where I am bringing you,

19you are to offer a contribution to the Lord when you eat from the food of the land.

20You are to offer a loaf from your first batch of dough as a contribution; offer it just like a contribution from the threshing floor.

21Throughout your generations, you are to give the Lord a contribution from the first batch of your dough.

22“When you sin unintentionally and do not obey all these commands that the Lord spoke to Moses  —

23all that the Lord has commanded you through Moses, from the day the Lord issued the commands and onward throughout your generations —

24and if it was done unintentionally without the community’s awareness, the entire community is to prepare one young bull for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

25The priest will then make atonement for the entire Israelite community so that they may be forgiven, for the sin was unintentional. They are to bring their offering, a food offering to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord for their unintentional sin.
