19. you are to offer a contribution to the Lord when you eat from the food of the land.

22. “When you sin unintentionally and do not obey all these commands that the Lord spoke to Moses —

23. all that the Lord has commanded you through Moses, from the day the Lord issued the commands and onward throughout your generations —

24. and if it was done unintentionally without the community’s awareness, the entire community is to prepare one young bull for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.

25. The priest must then make atonement for the entire Israelite community so that they may be forgiven, for the sin was unintentional. They are to bring their offering, one made by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord for their unintentional sin.

26. The entire Israelite community and the foreigner who resides among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.

27. “If one person sins unintentionally, he is to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.

28. The priest must then make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the person who acts in error sinning unintentionally, and when he makes atonement for him, he will be forgiven.

29. You are to have the same law for the person who acts in error, whether he is an Israelite or a foreigner who lives among you.

30. “But the person who acts defiantly, whether native or foreign resident, blasphemes the Lord. That person is to be cut off from his people.

31. He will certainly be cut off, because he has despised the Lord’s word and broken His command; his guilt remains on him.”

32. While the Israelites were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
