Numbers 15:22-29

Laws About Unintentional Sins

22  a “But if you sin unintentionally
Or by mistake; also verses 24, 27, 28, 29
and do not observe all these commandments that the  Lord has spoken to Moses,
23 all that the  Lord has commanded you by Moses, from the day that the  Lord gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations, 24 then if it was done unintentionally c 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, d with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the rule, and e one male goat for a sin offering. 25  f And 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. 26 And 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.

27  g If one person sins unintentionally, he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering. 28  h And the priest shall make atonement before the  Lord for the person who makes a mistake, when he sins unintentionally, to make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven. 29  i You shall have one law for him who does anything unintentionally, for him who is native among the people of Israel and for the stranger who sojourns among them.
