Numbers 15:22

¹ “‘If you ²  sin unintentionally and do not observe all these commandments that the Lord has spoken to Moses –

Le 4:2,13,14,22,27; Le 5:13,15-17; Ps 19:12; Lu 12:48

¹ sn These regulations supplement what was already ruled on in the Levitical code for the purification and reparation offerings. See those rulings in Lev 4-7 for all the details. Some biblical scholars view the rules in Leviticus as more elaborate and therefore later. However, this probably represents a misunderstanding of the purpose of each collection.

² tn The verb is the plural imperfect; the sin discussed here is a sin committed by the community, or the larger part of the community.
