Numbers 15:32-36

The Voice

³² One time, when the Israelites were wandering in the wilderness, it was discovered that somebody had broken the Sabbath rest commandment by gathering firewood. ³³ The people who saw the man brought him to Moses and Aaron and the gathered congregation. ³⁴ They weren’t sure what to do with him because nothing had been declared yet, so they kept him confined. ³⁵ The Eternal One told Moses the man should be killed, that the whole congregation should take him outside the camp and stone him to death. ³⁶ So they did just as the Eternal told them to do and executed him.
