Numbers 15:18-33

¹⁸Speak with the sons of Israel, and say to them, When you have come into the land into which I will bring you,

¹⁹and when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall set apart a separation before the Lord.

²⁰Of the first of your food you shall set apart a cake for a separation; as the separation of the threshing-floor, so shall you set it apart;

²¹Of the first of your bread (dough) you shall give the separation before the Lord in your generations.

²²And should you be in ignorance, and not do all these commandments of which the Lord hath spoken with Mosheh,

²³Even all which the Lord commanded you by the hand of Mosheh from the day that the Lord commanded and thenceforward in your generations,

²⁴It shall be that if anything be hid from the eyes of the congregation and you do ignorantly, then all the congregation shall make a burnt offering of one young bullock, to be received with acceptance before the Lord, with his mincha and his libation, according to the proper manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering:

²⁵And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it was ignorance; but they shall bring their oblation before the Lord on account of their ignorance.

²⁶And it shall be forgiven to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and to the sojourners who sojourn among them; for all the people (were) in ignorance.

²⁷And if one sin ignorantly, he shall bring a female kid of the year for a sin offering;

²⁸And the priest shall make atonement for the man who hath erred in his sin through ignorance before the Lord, to atone for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

²⁹For the native-born of the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner who sojourneth among you, one law shall there be for you, for him who acteth in ignorance.

³⁰But the man who doeth presumptuously, whether of the native-born, or of the sojourners, he provoketh the Lord to anger, and that man shall perish from among his people:

³¹Because he hath despised the word of the Lord, and hath made His commandment vain, that man shall be utterly destroyed, his sin is upon him.

³²And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man stealing wood on the day of the Sabbath;

³³And they who had found him stealing wood brought him to Mosheh and Aharon, and to all the congregation.
