15:27

וְאִם־נֶפֶשׁ אַחַת תֶּחֱטָא בִשְׁגָגָה וְהִקְרִיבָה עֵז בַּת־שְׁנָתָהּ לְחַטָּֽאת׃

If one person will sin erroneously, that person shall bring a yearling she-goat as a sin-offering.

If one person will sin erroneously, that person shall bring a yearling she-goat as a sin-offering.

Rashi

תחטא בשגגה. בַּעֲ"זָ:

Will sin erroneously. Through idolatry.

עז בת שנתה. שְׁאָר עֲבֵרוֹת יָחִיד מֵבִיא כִשְׂבָּה אוֹ שְׂעִירָה, וּבְזוֹ קָבַע לָהּ שְׂעִירָה (שם):

A yearling she-goat. For other transgressions, the individual brings a sheep or goat, but for this, a goat is designated.

15:28

וְכִפֶּר הַכֹּהֵן עַל־הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַשֹּׁגֶגֶת בְּחֶטְאָהֿ בִשְׁגָגָה לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה לְכַפֵּר עָלָיו וְנִסְלַח לֽוֹ׃

The kohein shall atone for that erring soul which has sinned unwittingly before Adonoy; to achieve atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

The kohein shall atone for that erring soul which has sinned unwittingly before Adonoy; to achieve atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

15:29

הָֽאֶזְרָח בִּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלַגֵּר הַגָּר בְּתוֹכָם תּוֹרָה אַחַת יִהְיֶה לָכֶם לָעֹשֶׂה בִּשְׁגָגָֽה׃

[For] the citizen among Bnei Yisroel, and the proselyte who dwells among them there shall be one law for you all, for he who sins unwittingly.

[For] the citizen among Bnei Yisroel, and the proselyte who dwells among them there shall be one law for you all, for he who sins unwittingly.

15:30

וְהַנֶּפֶשׁ אֲשֶֽׁר־תַּעֲשֶׂה ׀ בְּיָד רָמָה מִן־הָֽאֶזְרָח וּמִן־הַגֵּר אֶת־יְהֹוָה הוּא מְגַדֵּף וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא מִקֶּרֶב עַמָּֽהּ׃

A person who commits a sin high-handedly among the citizens or among the proselytes, blasphemes Adonoy; the soul of that person shall be cut off from among its people.

A person who commits a sin high-handedly among the citizens or among the proselytes, blasphemes Adonoy; the soul of that person shall be cut off from among its people.

Rashi

ביד רמה. בְמֵזִיד:

High handedly. Intentionally.

מגדף. מְחָרֵף, כְּמוֹ "וְהָיְתָה חֶרְפָּה וּגְדוּפָה" (יחזקאל ה'), "אֲשֶׁר גִּדְּפוּ נַעֲרֵי מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר" (ישעיהו ל"ז), וְעוֹד דָּרְשׁוּ רַבּוֹתֵינוּ מִכָּאן לַמְּבָרֵךְ אֶת הַשֵּׁם שֶׁהוּא בְכָרֵת (כריתות ז'):

Blasphemes. Reviles, like, “despised and reviled,” “which the servants of the king of Ashur reviled.” In addition, the Rabbis derive from here that someone who curses Hashem” is subject to “koreis.”

15:31

כִּי דְבַר־יְהֹוָה בָּזָה וְאֶת־מִצְוָתוֹ הֵפַר הִכָּרֵת ׀ תִּכָּרֵת הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא עֲוֺנָהֿ בָֽהּ׃ {פ}

For he has denigrated the word of Adonoy and he has violated His commandment; The soul of that person shall certainly be cut off; its iniquity is upon it.

For he has denigrated the word of Adonoy and he has violated His commandment; The soul of that person shall certainly be cut off; its iniquity is upon it.

Rashi

דבר ה'. אַזְהָרַת עֲ"זָ מִפִּי הַגְּבוּרָה וְהַשְּׁאָר מִפִּי מֹשֶׁה (סנהדרין צ"ט):

The word of Adonoy. The prohibition against idol worship was by the word of the Omnipotent, the rest by the word of Moshe.

עונה בה. בִּזְמַן שֶׁעֲוֹנָהּ בָּהּ — שֶׁלֹּא עָשָׂה תְשׁוּבָה:

Its iniquity is upon it. During the time his sin is within him — if he has not repented.
