Numbers 15:30-36

New King James Version

Law Concerning Presumptuous Sin

^30 (A)‘But the person who does anything ^[a]presumptuously, whether he is native-born or a stranger, that one ^[b]brings reproach on the Lord, and he shall be ^[c]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 completely cut off; his ^[d]guilt shall be upon him.’ ”

Penalty for Violating the Sabbath^(C)

³² Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, ^(D)they found a man 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 They put him ^(E)under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.

³⁵ Then the Lord said to Moses, ^(F)“The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall ^(G)stone him with stones outside the camp.” ³⁶ So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.
