Numbers 15:22-29

New Century Version

²² “‘Now what if you forget to obey any of these commands the Lord gave Moses? ²³ These are the Lord’s commands given to you through Moses, which began the day the Lord gave them to you and will continue from now on. ²⁴ If the people forget to obey one of these commands, all the people must offer a young bull as a burnt offering, a smell pleasing to the Lord. By law you must also give the grain offering and the drink offering with it, and you must bring a male goat as a sin offering.

²⁵ “‘The priest will remove that sin for all the Israelites so they will belong to the Lord. They are forgiven, because they didn’t know they were sinning. For the wrong they did they brought offerings to the Lord, an offering by fire and a sin offering. ²⁶ So all of the people of Israel and the foreigners living among them will be forgiven. No one meant to do wrong.

²⁷ “‘If just one person sins without meaning to, a year-old female goat must be brought for a sin offering. ²⁸ The priest will remove the sin of the person who sinned accidentally. He will remove it before the Lord, and the person will be forgiven. ²⁹ The same teaching is for everyone who sins accidentally—for those born Israelites and for foreigners living among you.
