¹⁷ “Now if a person sins and does any one of the things ^[a]which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, ^(A)but he was unaware, still he is guilty and shall bear his punishment.

²⁹ You shall have one law for him who does anything unintentionally, for him who is native among the sons of Israel and for the sojourner who sojourns among them. ³⁰ But the person who does anything with a ^(A)high hand, whether he is native or a sojourner, that one is blaspheming Yahweh; and that person shall be cut off from among his people. ³¹ Because he has ^(B)despised the word of Yahweh and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; ^(C)his ^[a]guilt will be on him.’”

A Sabbath-breaker Put to Death

³² Now the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, and they found a man ^(D)gathering wood on the sabbath day. ³³ And those who found him gathering wood brought him near to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation; ³⁴ and they put him in ^[b]custody ^(E)because it had not been ^[c]declared what should be done to him. ³⁵ Then Yahweh said to Moses, “The man shall surely be put to death; ^(F)all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” ³⁶ So all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him ^[d]to death with stones, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

³⁷ Yahweh also spoke to Moses, saying, ³⁸ “Speak to the sons of Israel, and tell them that they shall make for themselves ^(G)tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put on the tassel of each corner a cord of blue. ³⁹ And it shall be a tassel for you ^[e]to look at and ^(H)remember all the commandments of Yahweh, so as to do them and not ^[f]follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot, ⁴⁰ so that you may remember to do all My commandments and ^(I)be holy to your God. ⁴¹ I am Yahweh your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be your God; I am Yahweh your God.”
