Numbers 15:10-34

¹⁰Add a half a hin of wine as a drink offering. All this is an offering to be acceptable to the Lord.

¹¹This is to be done for every bull, ram, lamb, or goat brought as an offering.

¹²This is what you need to do for each one, however many.

¹³Every Israelite is to follow these instructions when they present an offering that is accepted by the Lord.

¹⁴This also applies for all future generations that if a foreigner living among you or anyone else among you wishes to present an offering acceptable to the Lord: they are to do exactly what you do.

¹⁵The whole congregation must have the same rules for you and for the foreigner living among you. This is a permanent law for all future generations You and the foreigner are to be treated the same way before the law.

¹⁶The same rules and regulations apply to you and the foreigner living among you.’”

¹⁷Then the Lord told Moses,

¹⁸“Tell the Israelites, ‘When you get to the country where I'm leading you

¹⁹and you eat the food produced there, you shall give some of it as an offering to the Lord.

²⁰You are to give some of the flour you make into loaves as a gift—present it just like an offering from the threshing floor.

²¹For all future generations, you are to give the Lord an offering from the first of your flour.

²²Now if you collectively sin without meaning to and don't follow all these instructions that the Lord has given Moses—

²³everything that the Lord has ordered you to do through Moses from the time that the Lord gave them and for all future generations—

²⁴and if it was done unintentionally without everyone knowing about it, then the whole congregation is to present a young bull as a burnt offering to be accepted by the Lord, along with its grain offering and drink offering presented according to the rules, as well as a male goat as a sin offering.

²⁵In this way the priest is to make the whole congregation of Israel right with the Lord so that they can be forgiven, because the sin was unintentional and they have presented the Lord with an burnt offering and a sin offering, offered before the Lord for their unintentional sin.

²⁶Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners living among them will be forgiven, because the people sinned unintentionally.

²⁷In the case of an individual who sins without meaning to—they are to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.

²⁸The priest will make the person who sinned unintentionally right before the Lord their behalf. Once they have been made right, they will be forgiven.

²⁹You shall apply the same law for the one who mistakenly sins to an Israelite or a foreigner living among you.

³⁰But the person who sins in defiance, whether an Israelite or foreigner, is blaspheming the Lord. They shall be expelled from their people.

³¹They have to be expelled, because they have treated the word of the Lord with contempt and broken his commandment. They are responsible for the consequences of their own guilt.’”

³²During the time the Israelites were wandering in the desert, a man was caught collecting firewood on the Sabbath.

³³The people who found him collecting wood brought him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the Israelites.

³⁴They placed him under guard because it wasn't clear what should happen to him.
