4:1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses:
4:2 “Tell the Israelites, ‘When a person sins by straying unintentionally from any of the Lord’s commandments which must not be violated, and violates any one of them –
Leviticus 5:2-5
5:2 Or when there is
a person who touches anything ceremonially
unclean, whether the carcass of an unclean wild animal, or the carcass of an unclean domesticated animal, or the carcass of an unclean creeping thing, even if he did not realize it,
but he himself has become unclean and is guilty;
5:3 or when he touches human uncleanness with regard to anything by which he can become unclean,
even if he did not realize it, but he himself has later come to know it and is guilty;
5:4 or when a person swears an oath, speaking thoughtlessly
with his lips, whether to do evil or to do good, with regard to anything which the individual might speak thoughtlessly in an oath, even if he did not realize it, but he himself has later come to know it and is guilty with regard to one of these oaths
–
5:5 when an individual becomes guilty with regard to one of these things
he must confess how he has sinned,
Leviticus 5:17
Unknown trespass
5:17 “If a person sins and violates any of the Lord’s commandments which must not be violated (although he did not know it at the time, but later realizes he is guilty), then he will bear his punishment for iniquity
Numbers 15:24-29
15:24 then if anything is done unintentionally
without the knowledge of
the community, the whole community must prepare one young bull for a burnt offering – for a pleasing aroma to the
Lord – along with its grain offering and its customary drink offering, and one male goat for a purification offering.
15:25 And the priest is to make atonement
for the whole community of the Israelites, and they will be forgiven,
because it was unintentional and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to the
Lord, and their purification offering before the
Lord, for their unintentional offense.
15:26 And the whole community
of the Israelites and the resident foreigner who lives among them will be forgiven, since all the people were involved in the unintentional offense.
15:27 “‘If any person sins unintentionally, then he must bring a yearling female goat for a purification offering.
15:28 And the priest must make atonement for the person who sins unintentionally – when he sins unintentionally before the Lord – to make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
15:29 You must have one law for the person who sins unintentionally, both for the native-born among the Israelites and for the resident foreigner who lives among them.
Joshua 7:11
7:11 Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenantal commandment!
They have taken some of the riches;
they have stolen them and deceitfully put them among their own possessions.
Joshua 7:24-26
7:24 Then Joshua and all Israel took Achan, son of Zerah, along with the silver, the robe, the bar of gold, his sons, daughters, ox, donkey, sheep, tent, and all that belonged to him and brought them up to the Valley of Disaster.
7:25 Joshua said, “Why have you brought disaster
on us? The
Lord will bring disaster on you today!” All Israel stoned him to death. (They also stoned and burned the others.)
7:26 Then they erected over him a large pile of stones (it remains to this very day
) and the
Lord’s anger subsided. So that place is called the Valley of Disaster to this very day.
Joshua 7:1
Achan Sins and is Punished
7:1 But the Israelites disobeyed the command about the city’s riches. Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, stole some of the riches. The Lord was furious with the Israelites.
Joshua 1:13
1:13 “Remember what Moses the
Lord’s servant commanded you.
The
Lord your God is giving you a place to settle and is handing this land over to you.
Hebrews 10:26-29
10:26 For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us,
10:27 but only a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury of fire that will consume God’s enemies.
10:28 Someone who rejected the law of Moses was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
10:29 How much greater punishment do you think that person deserves who has contempt for the Son of God, and profanes the blood of the covenant that made him holy, and insults the Spirit of grace?
