Numbers 15

Numbers 15 gives laws for offerings, firstfruits, unintentional sin, deliberate high-handed rebellion, Sabbath violation, and the fringes on Israel’s garments. Remarkably, these instructions assume that Israel will eventually enter the promised land despite the judgment announced in Numbers 14. The chapter combines hope, holiness, equal covenant law for native and stranger, seriousness about deliberate rebellion, and a visible reminder to remember God’s commandments.
