Numbers 15:25-33

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.
