New Testament

Numbers 15:18-27 English Standard Version (ESV)

18. “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land to which I bring you

19. and when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall present a contribution to the Lord.

20. Of the first of your dough you shall present a loaf as a contribution; like a contribution from the threshing floor, so shall you present it.

21. Some of the first of your dough you shall give to the Lord as a contribution throughout your generations.

22. “But if you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all these commandments that the Lord has spoken to Moses,

23. all that the Lord has commanded you by Moses, from the day that the Lord gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations,

24. then if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, all the congregation shall offer one bull from the herd for a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the rule, and one male goat for a sin offering.

25. And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the people of Israel, and they shall be forgiven, because it was a mistake, and they have brought their offering, a food offering to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord for their mistake.

26. And all the congregation of the people of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who sojourns among them, because the whole population was involved in the mistake.

27. “If one person sins unintentionally, he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering.
