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.
35. Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must be put to death; the whole community is to stone him to death outside the camp.”
36. So the whole community took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the Lord had commanded.
37. The Lord commanded Moses
38. to say to the people of Israel: “Make tassels on the corners of your garments and put a blue cord on each tassel. You are to do this for all time to come.
39. The tassels will serve as reminders, and each time you see them you will remember all my commands and obey them; then you will not turn away from me and follow your own wishes and desires.
40. The tassels will remind you to keep all my commands, and you will belong completely to me.
41. I am the Lord your God; I brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord.”
