⁽²²⁾ If you unwittingly fail to observe any one of the commandments that the ETERNAL has declared to Moses— ⁽²³⁾ anything that the ETERNAL has enjoined upon you through Moses—from the day that the ETERNAL gave the commandment and on through the ages: ⁽²⁴⁾ If this was done unwittingly, through the inadvertence of the community, the community leaders shall present one bull of the herd as a burnt offering of pleasing odor to the ETERNAL, with its proper meal offering and libation, and one he-goat as a sin offering. ⁽²⁵⁾ The priest shall make expiation for the whole Israelite community and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and for their error they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the ETERNAL and their sin offering before the ETERNAL. ⁽²⁶⁾ The whole Israelite community and the stranger residing among them shall be forgiven, for it happened to the entire people through error..

(²⁷⁾ In case it is an individual who has sinned unwittingly, that person shall offer a she-goat in its first year as a sin offering. ⁽²⁸⁾ The priest shall make expiation before the ETERNAL on behalf of the person who erred, for having sinned unwittingly, making such expiation that the person may be forgiven. ⁽²⁹⁾ For the citizen among the Israelites and for the stranger who resides among them—you shall have one ritual for anyone who acts in error. ⁽³⁰⁾ But the person, whether citizen or stranger, who acts defiantly reviles the ETERNAL; that person shall be cut off from among the people. ⁽³¹⁾ Because it was the word of the ETERNAL that was spurned and [God’s] commandment that was violated, that person shall be cut off—and bears the guilt.

(³²⁾ Once, when the Israelites were in the wilderness, they came upon a man gathering wood on the sabbath day. ⁽³³⁾ Those who found him as he was gathering wood brought him before Moses, Aaron, and the community leadership. ⁽³⁴⁾ He was placed in custody, for it had not been specified what should be done to him. ⁽³⁵⁾ Then the ETERNAL said to Moses, “The party in question shall be put to death: the community leadership shall pelt him with stones outside the camp.” ⁽³⁶⁾ So the community leadership took him outside the camp and stoned him to death—as the ETERNAL had commanded Moses.
