A Sabbathbreaker Executed

32 While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man (A)gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation. 34 (B)They put him in custody, because it had not been made clear what should be done to him. 35 And the Lord said to Moses, (C)“The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall (D)stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 And all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, as the Lord commanded Moses.

Tassels on Garments

37 The Lord said to Moses, 38 “Speak to the people of Israel, and tell them to (E)make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a cord of blue on the tassel of each corner. 39 And it shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the Lord, to do them, (F)not to follow[a] after your own heart and your own eyes, which you are inclined (G)to whore after. 40 So you shall remember and do all my commandments, and be (H)holy to your God. 41 (I)I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I am the Lord your God.”
