Numbers 15:21-25 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

21. Throughout your generations you shall give a contribution to the Lord from your first batch of dough.

22. If through inadvertence you fail to do any of these commandments which the Lord has given to Moses—

23. anything the Lord commanded you through Moses from the time the Lord first gave the command down through your generations—

24. if it was done inadvertently without the community’s knowledge, the whole community shall sacrifice one bull from the herd as a burnt offering of pleasing aroma to the Lord, along with its prescribed grain offering and libation, as well as one he-goat as a purification offering.

25. Then the priest shall make atonement for the whole Israelite community; and they will be forgiven, since it was inadvertence, and for their inadvertence they have brought their offering: an oblation to the Lord as well as their purification offering before the Lord.
