¹⁷ “If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it,^(A) they are guilty and will be held responsible.^(B)

²⁹ One and the same law applies to everyone who sins unintentionally, whether a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.^(A)

³⁰ “‘But anyone who sins defiantly,^(B) whether native-born or foreigner,^(C) blasphemes the Lord^(D) and must be cut off from the people of Israel.^{(E) 31} Because they have despised^(F) the Lord’s word and broken his commands,^(G) they must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them.^(H)’”

The Sabbath-Breaker Put to Death

³² While the Israelites were in the wilderness,^(I) a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.^{(J) 33} Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, ³⁴ and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him.^{(K) 35} Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must die.^(L) The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.^(M)” ³⁶ So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him^(N) to death,^(O) as the Lord commanded Moses.^(P)

Tassels on Garments

³⁷ The Lord said to Moses, ³⁸ “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Throughout the generations to come^(Q) you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments,^(R) with a blue cord on each tassel. ³⁹ You will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember^(S) all the commands of the Lord, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves^(T) by chasing after the lusts of your own hearts^(U) and eyes. ⁴⁰ Then you will remember to obey all my commands^(V) and will be consecrated to your God.^{(W) 41} I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God.^(X) I am the Lord your God.^(Y)’”
