Numbers 15:17-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
17Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land where I am bringing you, 19then it shall be, that when you eat from the food of the land, you shall lift up an offering to the Lord. 20Of the first of your dough you shall lift up a loaf as an offering; as an offering of the threshing floor, so you shall lift it up. 21From the first of your dough you shall give to the Lord an offering throughout your generations.
22‘But when you unintentionally do wrong and fail to comply with all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to Moses,
23that is, all that the Lord has commanded you through Moses from the day that the Lord gave commandments and onward, throughout your generations,
24then it shall be, if it is done unintentionally, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one bull as a burnt offering, as a soothing aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat as a sin offering.
25Then the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they will be forgiven; for it was an unintentional wrong, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their unintentional wrong.
26So all the congregation of the sons of Israel will be forgiven, as well as the stranger who resides among them, for guilt was attributed to all the people through an unintentional wrong.
King James Version
Chapter 15
17And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 18Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you, 19Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the Lord. 20Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it. 21Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the Lord an heave offering in your generations. 22And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the Lord hath spoken unto Moses, 23Even all that the Lord hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations; 24Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the Lord, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering. 25And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their ignorance: 26And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 15
17The Lord instructed Moses: 18"Speak to the Israelites and tell them: After you enter the land where I am bringing you, 19you are to offer a contribution to the Lord when you eat from the food of the land. 20You are to offer a loaf from your first batch of dough as a contribution; offer it just like a contribution from the threshing floor. 21Throughout your generations, you are to give the Lord a contribution from the first batch of your dough.
22"When you sin unintentionally and do not obey all these commands that the Lord spoke to Moses —
23all that the Lord has commanded you through Moses, from the day the Lord issued the commands and onward throughout your generations—
24and if it was done unintentionally without the community’s awareness, the entire community is to prepare one young bull for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and drink offering according to the regulation, and one male goat as a sin offering.
25The priest will then make atonement for the entire Israelite community so that they may be forgiven, for the sin was unintentional. They are to bring their offering, one made by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord for their unintentional sin.
26The entire Israelite community and the alien who resides among them will be forgiven, since it happened to all the people unintentionally.
New Living Translation
Chapter 15
17Then the Lord said to Moses,
18Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. 'When you arrive in the land where I am taking you,
19and you eat the crops that grow there, you must set some aside as a sacred offering to the Lord.
20Present a cake from the first of the flour you grind, and set it aside as a sacred offering, as you do with the first grain from the threshing floor.
21Throughout the generations to come, you are to present a sacred offering to the Lord each year from the first of your ground flour.
22But suppose you unintentionally fail to carry out all these commands that the Lord has given you through Moses.
23And suppose your descendants in the future fail to do everything the Lord has commanded through Moses.
24If the mistake was made unintentionally, and the community was unaware of it, the whole community must present a young bull for a burnt offering as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. It must be offered along with its prescribed grain offering and liquid offering and with one male goat for a sin offering.
25With it the priest will purify the whole community of Israel, making them right with the Lord, and they will be forgiven. For it was an unintentional sin, and they have corrected it with their offerings to the Lord — the special gift and the sin offering.
26The whole community of Israel will be forgiven, including the foreigners living among you, for all the people were involved in the sin.

Chapter 15
17The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18"Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land to which I bring you 19and when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall present a contribution to the Lord. 20Of the first of your dough you shall present a loaf as a contribution; like a contribution from the threshing floor, so shall you present it. 21Some of the first of your dough you shall give to the Lord as a contribution throughout your generations.
22"But if you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all these commandments that the Lord has spoken to Moses,
23all that the Lord has commanded you by Moses, from the day that the Lord gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations,
24then if it was done unintentionally without the knowledge of the congregation, all the congregation shall offer one bull from the herd for a burnt offering, a pleasing aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the rule, and one male goat for a sin offering.
25And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the people of Israel, and they shall be forgiven, because it was a mistake, and they have brought their offering, a food offering to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord for their mistake.
26And all the congregation of the people of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who sojourns among them, because the whole population was involved in the mistake.
New International Version
Chapter 15
17The Lord said to Moses, 18"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land to which I am taking you 19and you eat the food of the land, present a portion as an offering to the Lord. 20Present a loaf from the first of your ground meal and present it as an offering from the threshing floor. 21Throughout the generations to come you are to give this offering to the Lord from the first of your ground meal.
22" ‘Now if you as a community unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands the Lord gave Moses—
23any of the Lord’s commands to you through him, from the day the Lord gave them and continuing through the generations to come—
24and if this is done unintentionally without the community being aware of it, then the whole community is to offer a young bull for a burnt offering as an aroma pleasing to the Lord, along with its prescribed grain offering and drink offering, and a male goat for a sin offering.
25The priest is to make atonement for the whole Israelite community, and they will be forgiven, for it was not intentional and they have presented to the Lord for their wrong a food offering and a sin offering.
26The whole Israelite community and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people were involved in the unintentional wrong.
New King James Version
Chapter 15
17Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 18“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land to which I bring you, 19then it will be, when you eat of the bread of the land, that you shall offer up a heave offering to the Lord. 20You shall offer up a cake of the first of your ground meal as a heave offering; as a heave offering of the threshing floor, so shall you offer it up. 21Of the first of your ground meal you shall give to the Lord a heave offering throughout your generations.
22‘If you sin unintentionally, and do not observe all these commandments which the Lord has spoken to Moses—
23all that the Lord has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day the Lord gave commandment and onward throughout your generations—
24then it will be, if it is unintentionally committed, without the knowledge of the congregation, that the whole congregation shall offer one young bull as a burnt offering, as a sweet aroma to the Lord, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats as a sin offering.
25So the priest shall make atonement for the whole congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it was unintentional; they shall bring their offering, an offering made by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their unintended sin.
26It shall be forgiven the whole congregation of the children of Israel and the stranger who dwells among them, because all the people did it unintentionally.
