15. The assembly will have the same regulation for you and for the immigrant. The regulation will be permanent for all time. You and the immigrant will be the same in the Lord’s presence.
16. There will be one set of instructions and one legal norm for the immigrant and for you.
17. The Lord spoke to Moses:
18. Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land to which I’m bringing you,
19. whenever you eat the land’s food you will present a gift offering to the Lord.
20. You will present a gift offering from the first bread you bake just like you present a gift offering from the threshing floor.
21. You will give a gift offering from the first bread you bake for all time.
22. If by accident you don’t obey all these commands that the Lord spoke to Moses,
23. or everything that the Lord commanded you through Moses from the day of the Lord’s command onward for all time,
24. then if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the community, the entire community must offer one bull from the herd as an entirely burned offering, a soothing smell to the Lord, with its grain and drink offering according to the specific instruction, and one male goat for a purification offering.
25. The priest will seek reconciliation for the entire Israelite community. They will be forgiven, because it was unintentional and because they brought their food gift to the Lord, along with their purification offering in the Lord’s presence for their accidental error.
26. The entire Israelite community and the immigrant residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people acted unintentionally.
27. If an individual sins unintentionally, that person must present a one-year-old female goat for a purification offering.
28. The priest will seek reconciliation in the Lord’s presence for the person who sinned unintentionally, when the sin is an accident, seeking reconciliation so that person will be forgiven.
29. There will be one set of instructions for the Israelite citizen and the immigrant residing with you for anyone who commits an unintentional sin.
30. But the person who acts deliberately, whether a citizen or an immigrant, and insults the Lord, that person will be cut off from the people
31. for despising the Lord’s word and breaking his commands. That person will be completely cut off and bear the guilt.
32. When the Israelites were in the desert, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
33. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the entire community.
