Numbers 15:32-36

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Sabbath-Breaker Put to Death

³² While the Israelites were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day. ³³ The people who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the entire community. ³⁴ They put him in custody, because it had not been made clear what should be done with him.

³⁵ The Lord said to Moses, “The man must certainly be put to death. The entire community is to stone him outside of the camp.” ³⁶ The entire community brought him outside of the camp and stoned him to death, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
