    Numbers 15 Summary

    Numbers 15 provides supplementary laws about offerings in the Promised Land, addresses unintentional versus intentional sin, records the stoning of a Sabbath-breaker, and commands Israel to wear tassels (tzitzit) on their garments.

    Remarkably, these laws about entering the land come right after Israel was condemned to wander forty years (chapter 14). God's instructions for the future land demonstrated that despite the current generation's failure, His promises would still be fulfilled.
