Numbers 15:17–36

¹⁷And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ^18qSpeak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you, ¹⁹Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of ^rthe bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the Lord. ^20sYe shall offer up a cake of ^tthe first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do ^uthe heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it. ²¹Of ^tthe first of your dough ye shall give unto the Lord an heave offering in your generations. ²²And ^wif ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the Lord hath spoken unto Moses, ²³Even all that the Lord hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations; ²⁴Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance ^†without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the Lord, ^xwith his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the ^||manner, and ^yone kid of the goats for a sin offering. ^25zAnd the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their ignorance: ²⁶And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance. ²⁷And ^aif any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. ^28bAnd the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the Lord, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him. ^29cYe shall have one law for him that ^†sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them. ^30dBut the soul that doeth ought ^†presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same ^ereproacheth the Lord; and ^fthat soul shall be cut off from among his people. ³¹Because he hath ^gdespised the word of the Lord, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

³²And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that ^hgathered sticks upon the sabbath day. ³³And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. ³⁴And they put him ⁱin ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. ³⁵And the Lord said unto Moses, ^jThe man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall ^kstone him with stones without the camp. ³⁶And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.
