24. If the mistake was made because of the ignorance of the community, they are to offer a bull as a burnt offering, a smell that pleases the Lord, with the proper grain offering and wine offering. In addition, they are to offer a male goat as a sin offering.
25. The priest shall perform the ritual of purification for the community, and they will be forgiven, because the mistake was unintentional and they brought their sin offering as a food offering to the Lord.
26. The whole community of Israel and the foreigners living among them will be forgiven, because everyone was involved in the mistake.
27. If an individual sins unintentionally, he is to offer a one-year-old female goat as a sin offering.
28. At the altar the priest shall perform the ritual of purification to purify the person from his sin, and he will be forgiven.
29. The same regulation applies to all who unintentionally commit a sin, whether they are native Israelites or resident foreigners.
30. But any person who sins deliberately, whether he is a native or a foreigner, is guilty of treating the Lord with contempt, and he shall be put to death,
31. because he has rejected what the Lord said and has deliberately broken one of his commands. He is responsible for his own death.
32. Once, while the Israelites were still in the wilderness, a man was found gathering firewood on the Sabbath.
33. He was taken to Moses, Aaron, and the whole community,
34. and was put under guard, because it was not clear what should be done with him.
