Numbers 15:21-32

21From the first of your 1dough you shall give to the Lord an 2offering throughout your generations.

22‘But when you 3unintentionally do wrong and fail to 4comply with all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to Moses, 23that is, all that the Lord has commanded you 5through Moses from the day that the Lord gave commandments and onward, throughout your generations, 24then it shall be, if it is done 6unintentionally, 7without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one bull as a burnt offering, as a soothing aroma to the Lord, 8with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat as a sin offering. 25Then 9the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they will be forgiven; for it was an unintentional wrong, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their unintentional wrong. 26So all the congregation of the sons of Israel will be forgiven, as well as the stranger who resides among them, for guilt was attributed to all the people through an 10unintentional wrong.

27‘Also, if one person sins 11unintentionally, then he shall offer a one-year-old female goat as a sin offering. 28And 12the priest shall make atonement before the Lord for the person who goes astray by an unintentional sin, making atonement for him 13so that he may be forgiven. 29You shall have one law for the native among the sons of Israel and for the stranger who resides among them, for one who does anything wrong unintentionally. 30But the person who does wrong 14 15defiantly, whether he is a native or a stranger, that one is blaspheming the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from among his people. 31Since he has 16despised the word of the Lord and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; 17his 18guilt will be on him.’”

32Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man 19gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
