Numbers 15:30-36

English Standard Version

^30 (A)But the person who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native or a sojourner, reviles the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from among his people. ³¹ Because he has ^(B)despised the word of the Lord and has broken his commandment, that person shall be utterly cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.”

A Sabbathbreaker Executed

³² While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man ^(C)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 (D)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, ^(E)“The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall ^(F)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.
