Sinning Unintentionally and Intentionally

"'But if just one person sins unintentionally,
he must bring a year-old female goat for a sin offering.
The priest is to make atonement before the Lord
for the one who erred by sinning unintentionally,
and when atonement has been made for him,
he will be forgiven.
One and the same law applies to everyone
who sins unintentionally,
whether he is a native-born Israelite or an alien.

"'But anyone who sins defiantly,
whether native-born or alien,
blasphemes the Lord,
and that person must be cut off from his people.
Because he has despised the Lord's Word
and broken His commands,
that person must surely be cut off;
his guilt remains on him.'"

(Numbers 15:27-31)
