Numbers 15:24–41

24 and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledgem of the community, then the entire community must prepare one young bulln as a burnt offering, as a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, and its grain offering and its libation, according to the stipulation, and one male goat as a sin offering. 25 The priest will make atonement for all of the community of the Israelites,o and they will be forgivenp because it was unintentional; they will bring their offering, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, their sin offering before Yahwehq for their unintentional sin. 26 All of the community of the Israelitesr will be forgiven, as well as the alien that dwells in their midst, because the whole community was involved in the unintentional wrong.

27 “ ‘If one person sins unintentionally, that person will present a female goat in its first years as a sin offering. 28 And the priest will make atonement for the person who sinned unintentionallyt before Yahweh,u to make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven. 29 For the native among the Israelitesv and the alien that dwells in their midst, there will be one law for anyone who commits an unintentional wrong. 30 But the one who acts presumptuouslyw from among the native or alien blasphemes against Yahweh, and that person must be cut off from the midst of the people. 31 Because he despised the word of Yahweh and broke his command, that person will be surely cut off and bear the guilt.’ ”

Violation of the Sabbath

32 When the Israelitesx were in the desert, they found a man who was gathering wood on the day of the Sabbath. 33 The ones who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and to all the community. 34 And they put him under watch because it was not made clear what should be done to him. 35 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Surely the man must be put to death by stoning him; all the community must stone him with stones from outside the camp.” 36 So the entire community brought him out to a place outside the camp, and they stoned him to deathy just as Yahweh commanded Moses.

Garment Fringes

37 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 38 “Speak to the Israelites,z and tell them to make for themselves tasselsa on the hems of their garments throughout their generationsb and to put a blue cord on the tassel of the hem. 39 You will have a tassel for you to look atc and remember all the commands of Yahweh and do them, and not follow after the unfaithfulness of your own heart and eyes,d 40 so that you will remember and do all my commandments, and you will be holy for your God. 41 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; I am Yahweh your God.”
