Numbers 15:20-35 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

20. Of the first of your dough you shall lift up a cake as an offering; as the offering of the threshing floor, so you shall lift it up.

21. From the first of your dough you shall give to the Lord an offering throughout your generations.

22. 'But when you unwittingly fail and do not observe all these commandments, which the Lord has spoken to Moses,

23. even all that the Lord has commanded you through Moses, from the day when the Lord gave commandment and onward throughout your generations,

24. then it shall be, if it is done unintentionally, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one bull for a burnt offering, as a soothing aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.

25. Then the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they will be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their error.

26. So all the congregation of the sons of Israel will be forgiven, with the alien who sojourns among them, for it happened to all the people through error.

27. 'Also if one person sins unintentionally, then he shall offer a one year old female goat for a sin offering.

28. The priest shall make atonement before the Lord for the person who goes astray when he sins unintentionally, making atonement for him that he may be forgiven.

29. You shall have one law for him who does anything unintentionally, for him who is native among the sons of Israel and for the alien who sojourns among them.

30. But the person who does anything defiantly, whether he is native or an alien, that one is blaspheming the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.

31. Because he has despised the word of the Lord and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his guilt will be on him.'"

32. Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the sabbath day.

33. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation;

34. and they put him in custody because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

35. Then the Lord said to Moses, "The man shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp."
