Numbers 15:14-31 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

14. If an alien dwells among you, or whoever is in your midst throughout your generations, and prepares an offering made by fire, a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, he should do as you do.

15. For the assembly, there will be one decree for you and for the alien who dwells among you; it is an eternal decree for all your generations. You as well as the alien will be before Yahweh.

16. There will be one law and one stipulation for you and for the alien dwelling among you.’ ”

17. Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

18. “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘When you come into the land to which I am about to bring you,

19. whenever you eat from the food of the land, you will lift up a contribution to Yahweh.

20. You must lift up a contribution of the first batch of your ring-shaped dough bread; you must lift it up as a contribution of the threshing floor.

21. You will give to Yahweh a contribution from the first of your dough throughout your generations.

22. “ ‘But if you go astray and you do not follow all these commandments that Yahweh commanded to Moses,

23. all that Yahweh commanded you by the hand of Moses from the day that Yahweh commanded and beyond, throughout your generations,

24. and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the community, then the entire community must prepare one young bull as a burnt offering, as a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, and its grain offering and its libation, according to the stipulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

25. The priest will make atonement for all of the community of the Israelites, and they will be forgiven because it was unintentional; they will bring their offering, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, their sin offering before Yahweh for their unintentional sin.

26. All of the community of the Israelites will be forgiven, as well as the alien that dwells in their midst, because the whole community was involved in the unintentional wrong.

27. “ ‘If one person sins unintentionally, that person will present a female goat in its first year as a sin offering.

28. And the priest will make atonement for the person who sinned unintentionally before Yahweh, to make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

29. For the native among the Israelites and the alien that dwells in their midst, there will be one law for anyone who commits an unintentional wrong.

30. But the one who acts presumptuously from among the native or alien blasphemes against Yahweh, and that person must be cut off from the midst of the people.

31. Because he despised the word of Yahweh and broke his command, that person will be surely cut off and bear the guilt.’ ”
