American Standard Version

Numbers 15:30-41 American Standard Version (ASV)

30. But the soul that doeth aught with a high hand, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, the same blasphemeth Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

31. Because he hath despised the word of Jehovah, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

32. And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath day.

33. And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

34. And they put him in ward, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

35. And Jehovah said unto Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

36. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

37. And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

38. Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of each border a cord of blue:

39. and it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that ye follow not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to play the harlot;

40. that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

41. I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah your God.
