Numbers 15:22–31

²²‘But when you ^aunwittingly fail and do not observe all these commandments, which the Lord has spoken to Moses,

²³even all that the Lord has commanded you ¹through Moses, from the day when the Lord gave commandment and onward throughout your generations,

²⁴then it shall be, if it is done ^aunintentionally, ¹without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one bull for a burnt offering, as a soothing aroma to the Lord, ^bwith its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.

²⁵‘Then ^athe priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they will be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their error.

²⁶‘So all the congregation of the sons of Israel will be forgiven, with the alien who sojourns among them, for it happened to all the people through ^aerror.

²⁷‘Also if one person sins ^aunintentionally, then he shall offer a one year old female goat for a sin offering.

²⁸‘^aThe priest shall make atonement before the Lord for the person who goes astray when he sins unintentionally, making atonement for him ¹that he may be forgiven.

²⁹‘You shall have one law for him who does anything unintentionally, for him who is native among the sons of Israel and for the alien who sojourns among them.

³⁰‘But the person who does anything ^adefiantly, whether he is native or an alien, that one is blaspheming the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.

³¹‘Because he has ^adespised the word of the Lord and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; ^bhis ¹guilt will be on him.’ ”
