18. “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel.“When you arrive in the land where I am taking you,
19. and you eat the crops that grow there, you must set some aside as a sacred offering to the lord.
20. Present a cake from the first of the flour you grind, and set it aside as a sacred offering, as you do with the first grain from the threshing floor.
21. Throughout the generations to come, you are to present a sacred offering to the lord each year from the first of your ground flour.
22. “But suppose you unintentionally fail to carry out all these commands that the lord has given you through Moses.
23. And suppose your descendants in the future fail to do everything the lord has commanded through Moses.
24. If the mistake was made unintentionally, and the community was unaware of it, the whole community must present a young bull for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the lord. It must be offered along with its prescribed grain offering and liquid offering and with one male goat for a sin offering.
25. With it the priest will purify the whole community of Israel, making them right with the lord, and they will be forgiven. For it was an unintentional sin, and they have corrected it with their offerings to the lord—the special gift and the sin offering.
26. The whole community of Israel will be forgiven, including the foreigners living among you, for all the people were involved in the sin.
