Numbers 15:22-41
Unintentionally fail to keep any of these commands and the community being not aware of it. A young bull for a burnt offering as aroma pleasing to the Lord along with its grain offering and drink offering.
If just one person sins unintentionally: a year-old female goat for a sin offering.
But anyone who sins defiantly, that person must be cut off from his people.
Make tassels on the corners of your garments with a blue cord on each tassel. So you will remember all the commands of the Lord, that you may obey them.
The seriousness of sabbath-breaking. It was not just the man's disobedience but his arrogance which put him outside the community of God's covenant people.
Why?
Not intentionally sin could be atonement through burnt offering.
The border of tassels is to remind forgetful Israel of God and his commands.
Blue cord on each tassel reminds them remember obey the commands that the Lord says to them.
How?
What can let me remember to obey the commands of the Lord, reading His word everyday and pray to the Lord, let the Holy Spirit help me walk out in my daily life.
Specific matter can remind us to do something, but it could not be a custom or just a symbol even becomes an idol in our daily life.
