Numbers 15:12-24 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

12. Whatever the number you offer, do the same for each of them.

13. All the native-born shall make these offerings in this way, whenever they present a sweet-smelling oblation to the Lord.

14. Likewise, in any future generation, any alien residing with you or anyone else in your midst, who presents an oblation of pleasing aroma to the Lord, must do as you do.

15. There is but one statute for you and for the resident alien, a perpetual statute throughout your generations. You and the resident alien will be alike before the Lord;

16. you and the alien residing with you will have the same rule and the same application of it.

17. The Lord spoke to Moses:

18. Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land into which I am bringing you

19. and eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer the Lord a contribution.

20. A round loaf from your first batch of dough you shall offer as a contribution. Just like a contribution from the threshing floor you shall offer it.

21. Throughout your generations you shall give a contribution to the Lord from your first batch of dough.

22. If through inadvertence you fail to do any of these commandments which the Lord has given to Moses—

23. anything the Lord commanded you through Moses from the time the Lord first gave the command down through your generations—

24. if it was done inadvertently without the community’s knowledge, the whole community shall sacrifice one bull from the herd as a burnt offering of pleasing aroma to the Lord, along with its prescribed grain offering and libation, as well as one he-goat as a purification offering.
