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.
25. Then the priest shall make atonement for the whole Israelite community; and they will be forgiven, since it was inadvertence, and for their inadvertence they have brought their offering: an oblation to the Lord as well as their purification offering before the Lord.
26. Not only the whole Israelite community but also the aliens residing among you shall be forgiven, since the inadvertent fault affects all the people.
27. If it is an individual who sins inadvertently, this person shall bring a yearling she-goat as a purification offering.
28. And the priest shall make atonement before the Lord for the one who erred, since the sin was inadvertent, making atonement for the person to secure forgiveness.
29. You shall have but one rule for the person who sins inadvertently, whether a native-born Israelite or an alien residing among you.
