Numbers 15:25-36 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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.’ ”

32. When the Israelites were in the desert, they found a man who was gathering wood on the day of the Sabbath.

33. The ones who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and to all the community.

34. And they put him under watch because it was not made clear what should be done to him.

35. And Yahweh said to Moses, “Surely the man must be put to death by stoning him; all the community must stone him with stones from outside the camp.”

36. So the entire community brought him out to a place outside the camp, and they stoned him to death just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
