Numbers 15:15-25 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

15. The law is the same for you and for foreigners. It will be a law from now on. You and the foreigners are alike before the Lord.

16. The teachings and rules are the same for you and for the foreigners among you.’”

17. The Lord said to Moses,

18. “Tell the Israelites: ‘You are going to another land. I am taking you there.

19. When you eat the food there, offer part of it to the Lord.

20. Offer a loaf of bread from the first of your grain. That will be your offering from the threshing floor.

21. From now on offer to the Lord the first part of your grain.

22. “‘Now what if you forget to obey any of these commands the Lord gave Moses?

23. These are the Lord’s commands given to you through Moses. They began the day the Lord gave them to you. And they will continue from now on.

24. But you might forget to obey one of these commands. The people might not remember the command. Then all the people must offer a young bull as a burnt offering. Its smell is pleasing to the Lord. By law you must also give the grain offering and the drink offering with it. And you must bring a male goat as a sin offering.

25. “‘The priest will remove that sin for all the Israelites so they will belong to God. They are forgiven. They didn’t know they were sinning. For the wrong they did they brought offerings to the Lord. They brought an offering by fire and a sin offering.
