Numbers 15:18-36 World English Bible (WEB)

18. “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land where I bring you,

19. then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh.

20. Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering. As the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it.

21. Of the first of your dough, you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations.

22. “‘When you err, and don’t observe all these commandments, which Yahweh has spoken to Moses,

23. even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;

24. then it shall be, if it was done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, with its meal offering, and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.

25. The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error.

26. All the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, as well as the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for with regard to all the people, it was done unwittingly.

27. “‘If one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering.

28. The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly before Yahweh, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.

29. You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.

30. “‘But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, the same blasphemes Yahweh. That soul shall be cut off from among his people.

31. Because he has despised Yahweh’s word, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off. His iniquity shall be on him.’”

32. While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.

33. Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.

34. They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

35. Yahweh said to Moses, “The man shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp.”

36. All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
