¹⁷The Lord said to Moses, ¹⁸“Say to the people of Israel, When you come into the land to which I bring you ¹⁹and when you eat of the food of the land, you shall present an offering to the Lord. ²⁰Of the first of your coarse meal you shall present a cake as an offering; as an offering from the threshing floor, so shall you present it. ²¹Of the first of your coarse meal you shall give to the Lord an offering throughout your generations.

²²“But if you err, and do not observe all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to Moses, ²³all that the Lord has commanded you by Moses, from the day that the Lord gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations, ²⁴then if it was done unwittingly without the knowledge of the congregation, all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, a pleasing odor to the Lord, with its cereal offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering. ²⁵And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the people of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; because 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. ²⁶And all the congregation of the people of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who sojourns among them, because the whole population was involved in the error.

²⁷“If one person sins unwittingly, he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering. ²⁸And the priest shall make atonement before the Lord for the person who commits an error, when he sins unwittingly, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven. ²⁹You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native among the people of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourns among them. ³⁰But the person who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native or a sojourner, reviles the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from among his people. ³¹Because he has despised the word of the Lord, and has broken his commandment, that person shall be utterly cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.”

³²While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day. ³³And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. ³⁴They put him in custody, because it had not been made plain what should be done to him. ³⁵And the Lord said to Moses, “The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” ³⁶And all the congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as the Lord commanded Moses.
