Numbers 15:17–36

¹⁷And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ¹⁸‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, In your coming in unto the land whither I am bringing you in, ¹⁹then it hath been, in your eating of the bread of the land, ye heave up a heave-offering to Jehovah; ²⁰the beginning of your dough a cake ye heave up—a heave-offering; as the heave-offering of a threshing-floor, so ye do heave it. ²¹Of the beginning of your dough ye do give to Jehovah a heave-offering—to your generations.

²²‘And when ye err, and do not all these commands which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, ²³the whole that Jehovah hath charged upon you by the hand of Moses, from the day that Jehovah hath commanded, and henceforth, to your generations, ²⁴then it hath been, if from the eyes of the company it hath been done in ignorance, that all the company have prepared one bullock, a son of the herd, for a burnt-offering, for sweet fragrance to Jehovah, and its present, and its libation, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering.

²⁵‘And the priest hath made atonement for all the company of the sons of Israel, and it hath been forgiven them, for it is ignorance, and they—they have brought in their offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah, even their sin-offering before Jehovah for their ignorance; ²⁶and it hath been forgiven to all the company of the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst; for to all the company it is done in ignorance.

²⁷‘And if one person sin in ignorance, then he hath brought near a she-goat, daughter of a year, for a sin-offering; ²⁸and the priest hath made atonement for the person who is erring, in his sinning in ignorance before Jehovah, by making atonement for him, and it hath been forgiven him; ²⁹for the native among the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst—one law is to you, for him who is doing anything through ignorance.

³⁰‘And the person who doth aught with a high hand—of the native or of the sojourner—Jehovah he is reviling, and that person hath been cut off from the midst of his people; ³¹because the word of Jehovah he despised, and His command hath broken—that person is certainly cut off; his iniquity is on him.’ ³²And the sons of Israel are in the wilderness, and they find a man gathering wood on the sabbath-day, ³³and those finding him gathering wood bring him near unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company, ³⁴and they place him in ward, for it is not explained what is to be done to him. ³⁵And Jehovah saith unto Moses, ‘The man is certainly put to death, all the company stoning him with stones, at the outside of the camp.’ ³⁶And all the company bring him out unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones, and he dieth, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
