Bible verse
While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
Numbers 15:32 · BSB
The verses around it, from Numbers 15.
28 And the priest shall make atonement before the LORD on behalf of the person who erred by sinning unintentionally; and when atonement has been made for him, he will be forgiven.
29 You shall have the same law for the one who acts in error, whether he is a native-born Israelite or a foreigner residing among you.
30 But the person who sins defiantly, whether a native or foreigner, blasphemes the LORD. That person shall be cut off from among his people.
31 He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.”
32 While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
33 Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation,
34 and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody.
35 And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.”
36 So the whole congregation took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
