22 ‘But when you (A)unintentionally fail and do not observe all these commandments, which Yahweh has spoken to Moses, 23 even all that Yahweh has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day when Yahweh commanded and onward throughout your generations, 24 then it will be, if it is done (B)unintentionally, hidden from the sight of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one bull from the herd for a burnt offering as a soothing aroma to Yahweh, (C)with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the legal judgment, and one male goat for a sin offering. 25 Then (D)the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they will be pardoned; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error. 26 So all the congregation of the sons of Israel will be pardoned, with the sojourner who sojourns among them, for it happened to all the people through (E)error.

27 ‘Also if one person sins (F)unintentionally, then he shall bring near a one year old female goat for a sin offering. 28 (G)And the priest shall make atonement before Yahweh for the person who goes astray when he sins unintentionally, making atonement for him [a]that he may be pardoned. 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 sojourner who sojourns among them.

22 “‘But if you go astray and you do not follow[a] all these commandments that Yahweh commanded to Moses, 23 all that Yahweh commanded you by the hand of Moses[b] from the day that Yahweh commanded and beyond, throughout your generations,[c] 24 and if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge[d] of the community, then the entire community must prepare one young bull[e] as a burnt offering, as a fragrance of appeasement for Yahweh, and its grain offering and its libation, according to the stipulation, and one male goat as a sin offering. 25 The priest will make atonement for all of the community of the Israelites,[f] and they will be forgiven[g] because it was unintentional; they will bring their offering, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, their sin offering before Yahweh[h] for their unintentional sin. 26 All of the community of the Israelites[i] will be forgiven, as well as the alien that dwells in their midst, because the whole community was involved in the unintentional wrong.

27 “‘If one person sins unintentionally, that person will present a female goat in its first year[j] as a sin offering. 28 And the priest will make atonement for the person who sinned unintentionally[k] before Yahweh,[l] to make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven. 29 For the native among the Israelites[m] and the alien that dwells in their midst, there will be one law for anyone who commits an unintentional wrong.
