26. The entire Israelite community and the immigrant residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people acted unintentionally.
27. If an individual sins unintentionally, that person must present a one-year-old female goat for a purification offering.

29. There will be one set of instructions for the Israelite citizen and the immigrant residing with you for anyone who commits an unintentional sin.
30. But the person who acts deliberately, whether a citizen or an immigrant, and insults the Lord, that person will be cut off from the people

32. When the Israelites were in the desert, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
33. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the entire community.
34. They placed him in custody, because it wasn’t clear what should be done to him.
35. Then the Lord said to Moses: The man should be put to death. The entire community should stone him outside the camp.
36. The entire community took him outside the camp and stoned him. He died as the Lord had commanded Moses.
37. The Lord said to Moses:
38. Speak to the Israelites and say to them: Make fringes on the edges of your clothing for all time. Have them put blue cords on the fringe on the edges.
39. This will be your fringe. You will see it and remember all the Lord’s commands and do them. Then you won’t go exploring the lusts of your own heart or your eyes.
40. In this way you’ll remember to do all my commands. Then you will be holy to your God.
41. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord your God.
