Numbers 15:18-41

18“Speak to Bnei-Yisrael. Say to them: When you enter the land to which I am taking you,

19and you eat some of the food of the land, you are to offer a portion to Adonai.

20You are to offer a cake from the first of your ground-up meal as an offering from your threshing floor—so you are to lift it up.

21Throughout your generations to come, you are to give this offering from the first of your ground-up meal.

22“If you unintentionally fail, not keeping any of these mitzvot that Adonai related to Moses

23—that is, anything that Adonai commanded you through Moses’s hand, from the day Adonai commanded and onward throughout your generations—

24and it is done unintentionally out of sight of the community, then the entire community is to offer one young bull from the herd for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to Adonai, along with its appropriate grain offering and drink offering, and one male goat as a sin offering.

25So the kohen will make atonement for the entire community of Bnei-Yisrael, and they will be forgiven, for it was unintentional and they brought a fire offering and their sin offering to Adonai for their error.

26So the whole community of Bnei-Yisrael along with the outsider residing among them will be forgiven, for all the people were involved in unintentional wrongdoing.

27“If but one person should sin unintentionally, he is to bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering.

28The kohen is to make atonement before Adonai for that person who erred by sinning without intent, and he is to be forgiven when atonement has been made for him.

29Whether a native-born of Bnei-Yisrael or an outsider living among them, one Torah applies to you for the one sinning unintentionally.

30“But the person who sins defiantly, whether native or outsider, reviles Adonai and that person is to be cut off from his people.

31Because he has despised the word of Adonai and has broken His commandment, that person will certainly be cut off—his guilt will remain on him.”

32While Bnei-Yisrael were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Shabbat.

33Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron and the entire assembly.

34They kept him under arrest, not being clear what was to be done to him.

35Adonai said to Moses, “The man has to die. The whole assembly is to stone him with stones outside the camp.”

36So the whole assembly took him outside the camp. They stoned him with stones. He died just as Adonai commanded Moses.

37Adonai spoke to Moses saying,

38“Speak to Bnei-Yisrael. Say to them that they are to make for themselves tzitzit on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and they are to put a blue cord on each tzitzit.

39It will be your own tzitzit—so whenever you look at them, you will remember all the mitzvot of Adonai and do them and not go spying out after your own hearts and your own eyes, prostituting yourselves.

40This way you will remember and obey all My mitzvot and you will be holy to your God.

41I am Adonai your God. I brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am Adonai your God.”
