Numbers 15:17-26

Complete Jewish Bible

(vi) ¹⁷ Adonai said to Moshe, ¹⁸ “Speak to the people of Isra’el; tell them, ‘When you enter the land where I am bringing you ¹⁹ and eat bread produced in the land, you are to set aside a portion as a gift for Adonai. ²⁰ Set aside from your first dough a cake as a gift; set it aside as you would set aside a portion of the grain from the threshing-floor. ²¹ From your first dough you will give Adonai a portion as a gift through all your generations.

²² “‘If by mistake you fail to observe all these mitzvot that Adonai has spoken to Moshe, ²³ yes, everything that Adonai has ordered you to do through Moshe, from the day Adonai gave the order and onward through all your generations, ²⁴ then, if it was done by mistake by the community and was not known to them, the whole community is to offer one young bull for a burnt offering as a fragrant aroma to Adonai, with its grain and drink offerings, in keeping with the rule, and one male goat as a sin offering. ²⁵ The cohen is to make atonement for the whole community of the people of Isra’el; and they will be forgiven; because it was a mistake; and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire, to Adonai, and their sin offering before Adonai for their mistake. ²⁶ The whole community of the people of Isra’el will be forgiven, likewise the foreigner staying with them; because for all the people it was a mistake.
