New Testament

Numbers 15:16-30 English Revised Version (ERV)

16. One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

17. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

18. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,

19. then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.

20. Of the first of your dough ye shall offer up a cake for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye heave it.

21. Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering throughout your generations.

22. And when ye shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,

23. even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;

24. then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with the meal offering thereof, and the drink offering thereof, according to the ordinance, and one he-goat for a sin offering.

25. And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their oblation, an offering made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their error:

26. and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.

27. And if one person sin unwittingly, then he shall offer a she-goat of the first year for a sin offering.

28. And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth unwittingly, before the LORD, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.

29. Ye shall have one law for him that doeth aught unwittingly, for him that is homeborn among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.

30. But the soul that doeth aught with an high hand, whether he be homeborn or a stranger, the same blasphemeth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
