Unintentional Sin and Presumptuous Sin

Numbers 15:22-31

15
Chapter 15
22 And if you err and do not do all these commandments that the LORD spoke to Moses. 23 all that the LORD commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded them and onward to your generations. 24 And if it was done as an unintentional sin in the eyes of the congregation, and the whole congregation does one bull—a young bull—as a burnt offering for a soothing aroma to the LORD, with its grain offering and its drink offering according to the judgment, and one male goat as a sin offering. 25 And the priest shall make atonement for the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it is an unintentional sin. And they have brought their offering, a fire offering to the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD for their unintentional sin. 26 And it will be forgiven to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel and to the stranger who is in their midst, since it was inadvertent for all the people. 27 And if a person sins by mistake, then she shall present a female goat, one year old, as a sin offering. 28 And the priest shall make atonement for the person who sins by mistake before the LORD to make atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them. 29 For the citizen among the sons of Israel and for the sojourner who sojourns in their midst—one law there shall be for you for sinning by mistake. 30 And the soul that does it with a high hand—whether from the citizen or from the stranger—it blasphemes the LORD, and that soul shall be cut off from the midst of its people. 31 Because he has despised the word of the LORD and has broken his commandment—that soul shall be cut off; it bears its iniquity.
