They shall bring their offering, a fire offering to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord for their sin of ignorance. 26 The entire community of the Israelites and the foreigners residing among them will be forgiven, because all the people sinned unintentionally. 27 If a single person sins unintentionally, they must present a one-year-old female goat as a sin offering. 28 The priest will make atonement before the Lord for the person who sinned unintentionally. When atonement is made, they will be forgiven. 29 The same law applies to both the native-born Israelites and the foreigner who lives among them for anyone who sins unintentionally.
