Numbers 15:24

15:24 then if anything is done unintentionally ¹  without the knowledge of ²  the community, the whole community must prepare one young bull for a burnt offering – for a pleasing aroma to the Lord – along with its grain offering and its customary drink offering, and one male goat for a purification offering.

Numbers 22:4

22:4 So the Moabites said to the elders of Midian, “Now this mass of people ³  will lick up everything around us, as the bull devours the grass of the field. Now Balak son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at this time.

Numbers 28:12

28:12 with three-tenths of an ephah of finely ground flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering for each bull, and two-tenths of an ephah of finely ground flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering for the ram,

Numbers 28:14

28:14 For their drink offerings, include ⁴  half a hin of wine with each bull, one-third of a hin for the ram, and one-fourth of a hin for each lamb. This is the burnt offering for each month ⁵  throughout the months of the year.

¹ tn The idea of לִשְׁגָגָה (lishgagah) seems to be that of “inadvertence” or “without intent.” The text gives no indication of how this offense might be committed, or what it might include. It probably describes any transgressions done in ignorance of the Law that involved a violation of tabernacle procedure or priestly protocol or social misdemeanor. Even though it was done unintentionally, it was still a violation and called for ritual purification.

² tn Heb “[away] from the eyes of the community.”

³ tn The word is simply “company,” but in the context he must mean a vast company – a horde of people.

⁴ tn The word “include” is not in the Hebrew text but is implied. It is supplied in the translation to make a complete English sentence.

⁵ tn Heb “a month in its month.”
