Numbers 15:32-36

A Sabbathbreaker Executed

32While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man agathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33And 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. 35And the Lord said to Moses, c“The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall dstone him with stones outside the camp.” 36And all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, as the Lord commanded Moses.

Jeremiah 17:24-27

24“‘But if you listen to me, declares the Lord, and ebring in no burden by the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but fkeep the Sabbath day holy and do no work on it, 25then gthere shall enter by the gates of this city kings and princes who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their officials, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall be inhabited forever. 26And people shall come from hthe cities of Judah iand the places around Jerusalem, jfrom the land of Benjamin, kfrom the Shephelah, from the hill country, land from mthe Negeb, bringing nburnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and obringing thank offerings to the house of the Lord. 27But if you do not listen to me, to pkeep the Sabbath day holy, qand not to bear a burden and enter by the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will rkindle a fire in its gates, and it shall sdevour the palaces of Jerusalem and tshall not be quenched.’”
