Numbers 15:27

27 "If one person unintentionally does something wrong, a one-year-old female goat must be sacrificed as an offering for sin.

Numbers 15:27 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:27

And if any soul sin through ignorance
Any private or particular person, by breaking any of the above commands, or any other, not rightly understanding them, or not adverting: to the circumstances required in the manner of performing them:

then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering;
which differed in this from the sin offering of a congregation that sinned through ignorance; that was a kid of the goats, whether male or female, but this was to be a female goat and of a year old.

Numbers 15:27 In-Context

25 The priest will make peace with the LORD for the whole community of Israel. Then they will be forgiven because the wrongdoing was unintentional and they brought these two offerings to the LORD for their sin: an offering by fire and an offering for sin.
26 So the whole community of Israel will be forgiven, including foreigners who are living among them, since all the people were involved in the unintentional wrongdoing.
27 "If one person unintentionally does something wrong, a one-year-old female goat must be sacrificed as an offering for sin.
28 The priest will offer the sacrifice to make peace with the LORD for that person, and that person will be forgiven.
29 You must give the same instructions to everyone who does something wrong unintentionally, whether they are native-born Israelites or not.
