28. The priest will remove the sin of the person who sinned without meaning to. That person will belong to the Lord again. He will be forgiven.

30. “‘But anyone who sins on purpose is against the Lord. That person must be separated from his people. It is the same for someone born among you or a foreigner.
31. That person has turned against the Lord’s word. He has not obeyed the Lord’s commands. He must surely be separated from the others. He is guilty.’”
