17
Again 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,
19
then it will be, when you eat of the bread of the land, that you shall offer up a heave offering to the Lord.
20
You 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.
21
Of 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--
23
all that the Lord has commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day the Lord gave commandment and onward throughout your generations--
24
then 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.
25
So 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.
26
It 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.
27
'And if a person sins unintentionally, then he shall bring a female goat in its first year as a sin offering.
