18

Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land where I am guiding you,

19

Then, when you take for your food the produce of the land, you are to give an offering lifted up before the Lord.

20

Of the first of your rough meal you are to give a cake for a lifted offering, lifting it up before the Lord as the offering of the grain-floor is lifted up.

21

From generation to generation you are to give to the Lord a lifted offering from the first of your rough meal.

22

And if in error you go against any of these laws which the Lord has given to Moses,

23

All the laws which the Lord has given you by the hand of Moses, from the day when the Lord gave them, and ever after from generation to generation;

24

Then, if the wrong is done in error, without the knowledge of the meeting of the people, let all the meeting give a young ox as a burned offering, a sweet smell to the Lord, with its meal offering and its drink offering, as is ordered in the law, together with a he-goat for a sin-offering.
