'Community' in the Bible

“Now if the whole community of Israel errs, and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly, so that they violate any of the Lord’s commands and incur guilt by doing what is prohibited,

where the elders of the community are to lay their hands on the head of the bull in the LORD's presence and slaughter it.

and assemble the whole community at the entrance to the tent of meeting.”

So Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and the community assembled at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

Then Moses said to the community, "This [is] the word that Yahweh has commanded to be done."

They brought what Moses had commanded to the front of the tent of meeting, and the whole community came forward and stood before the Lord.

Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not let your hair hang loose and do not tear your garments, or else you will die, and the Lord will become angry with the whole community. However, your brothers, the whole house of Israel, may mourn over that tragedy when the Lord sent the fire.

“Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the sanctuary area? For it is especially holy, and He has assigned it to you to take away the guilt of the community and make atonement for them before the Lord.

He is to take from the Israelite community two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.

“Speak to the entire Israelite community and tell them: Be holy because I, Yahweh your God, am holy.

Do not take revenge or bear a grudge against members of your community, but love your neighbor as yourself; I am Yahweh.

“Bring the one who has cursed to the outside of the camp and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole community stone him.

Whoever blasphemes the name of Yahweh is to be put to death; the whole community must stone him. If he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death, whether the foreign resident or the native.
