Numbers 15:22

22 "Suppose you unintentionally do something wrong by not obeying all these commands the LORD gave Moses.

Numbers 15:22 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:22

And if ye have erred
Gone astray from the law of God, and any of its precepts; every sin is an error, a missing of the mark, a wandering from the way of God's commandments. Jarchi, and the Jews in general, interpret this of idolatry, but it rather respects any deviation from the law, moral or ceremonial, especially the latter:

and not observed all these commandments which the Lord hath spoken
unto Moses;
in this chapter, more particularly concerning the meat offerings and drink offerings, and the quantity of them, to be brought along with their burnt offerings and peace offerings, and concerning the cake of the first dough to be heaved before the Lord and given to the priest.

Numbers 15:22 In-Context

20 Shape one part of your dough into a ring the same way you do with the contribution you make from the threshing floor.
21 For generations to come, you must give one part of your dough as a contribution to the LORD.
22 "Suppose you unintentionally do something wrong by not obeying all these commands the LORD gave Moses.
23 (Everything the LORD commanded you through Moses holds as true for generations to come as it did the day the LORD gave the commands.)
24 If it was unintentional and no one else knows about it, the whole community must sacrifice a young bull as a burnt offering, a soothing aroma to the LORD, along with the proper grain and wine offerings, and a male goat as an offering for sin.
