4. Then whoever offers his offering to the Lord shall bring, for a food offering, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil.
5. And of wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, with the burnt offering or with the sacrifice, for a lamb.

9. Thou shalt offer, with the bullock, a food offering of three-tenths of fine flour, mixed with half a hin of oil.

22. And when you err and do not keep all these commandments, which the Lord spoke to Moses,
23. yea, all that the Lord commanded you by Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded it, and from that day forward throughout your generations,
24. then, if it was done by mistake, without the knowledge of the congregation, the whole congregation shall offer a bull for a burnt offering, of a sweet aroma to the Lord, with its food offering and its drink offering, according to the rite, and a goat for a sin offering.
25. And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and his error shall be forgiven; because it is for the whole congregation, and for the stranger who sojourns among them; because all the people erred through ignorance.
26. And when a person sins by mistake and does anything that the Lord has commanded not to be done, and thus commits one of these things,
27. then, when the sin he has committed becomes known to him, he will bring his offering, a goat without blemish, for his offering for the sin he has committed.
28. And the priest shall make atonement for the error he has committed, for an error he did not know it, and it will be forgiven him.
29. In the same way it will be done to the native of the children of Israel, as to the foreigner who sojourns among them.
30. But the soul that does this deliberately, whether native or foreign, outrages the Lord, such a soul shall be cut off from his people.
31. Because he despised the word of the Lord and did his will, such a soul shall be cut off from his people.

35. Then said the Lord unto Moses, Surely the man shall be slain; all the congregation will stone him outside the camp.
36. And all the congregation brought him out of the camp and stoned him, and he died, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

40. That ye may remember all my commandments, and do them, and be holy unto your God.
