Exemplary Punishment for Sabbath-breaking
[Numbers 15:27-41](../../../kjv/numbers/15/27-41)
****
This chapter resembles a sweet flute-like melody inserted between two fierce strains. It reminds us that in the middle of wrath God remembers mercy. The stranger-whether pilgrim, emigrant or slave-was to be included in burned-offerings and sacrifices; a prevision of the time when all holy souls shall be reckoned in the household of God, [Ephesians 2:19](../../../kjv/ephesians/2/19) .
*Sins of ignorance* may be forgiven, [Numbers 15:22-29](../../../kjv/numbers/15/22-29) . They are *sins. Debts* of shortcoming need pardon equally as do *trespasses.* But, as Paul teaches us, we may confidently count on forgiveness for evil things done unwittingly. See [1 Timothy 1:12-14](../../../kjv/1-timothy/1/12-14) ; [Hebrews 5:2](../../../kjv/hebrews/5/2) . It is quite otherwise with *sins of presumption,* [Numbers 15:30-36](../../../kjv/numbers/15/30-36) . If persisted in, these induce death. See [1 John 5:16](../../../kjv/1-john/5/16) .
We have something better than the memorial fringe, in the ministry of the Holy Spirit, [John 14:26](../../../kjv/john/14/26) .
