New International Version
Numbers 15:15-25
15The community is to have the same rules for you and for the foreigner residing among you; this is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the same before the Lord:
16The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the foreigner residing among you.’ ”
17The Lord said to Moses,
18“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land to which I am taking you
19and you eat the food of the land, present a portion as an offering to the Lord.
20Present a loaf from the first of your ground meal and present it as an offering from the threshing floor.
21Throughout the generations to come you are to give this offering to the Lord from the first of your ground meal.
22“ ‘Now if you as a community unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the Lord gave Moses—
23any of the Lord’s commands to you through him, from the day the Lord gave them and continuing through the generations to come—
24and if this is done unintentionally without the community being aware of it, then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering as an aroma pleasing to the Lord, along with its prescribed grain offering and drink offering, and a male goat for a sin offering.
25The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven, for it was not intentional and they have presented to the Lord for their wrong a food offering and a sin offering.
