Numbers 15:15-25

15These rules will be the same for the Israelites and for all foreign people who live with them. These rules are for now and for all future time. Both you and the foreign person must obey the Lord's rules.

16There is the same law for you and for the foreign person who is living among you. There is only one set of rules.” ’

17The Lord said to Moses,

18‘Tell the Israelites this. I am bringing them into the land of Canaan. After they have gone into it, they must obey my rules.

19When they first eat the food from that land, they must give a special offering to the Lord.

20You must give a cake as a special offering from the first of your flour. You must do it as you give your special gift from your threshing floor.

21From the first of your flour, you must give to the Lord a special offering. And your descendants must continue to do that.

22The people might not obey a rule that the Lord told Moses about. But they might not know that they are not obeying a rule.

23It might be any rule that the Lord gave to you by Moses.

24Perhaps somebody does not know that they are not obeying one of my rules. When that happens, they must sacrifice a young bull as a burnt offering. The smell of the smoke from this sacrifice will please the Lord. Also, they must give a grain offering, a drink offering and a male goat as a sin offering.

25Then the priest will make things right with God for all the Israelites. The Lord will forgive them. That is because their sin was a mistake. They have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the Lord. And they have brought their sin offering to the Lord, for their mistake.
