A Sabbathbreaker Executed

32 While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man ^agathering 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 ^bThey put him in custody, because it had not been made clear what should be done to him. 35 And the Lord said to Moses, ^c“The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall ^dstone 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.
