God's Word Translation

Numbers 15:29-36 God's Word Translation (GW)

29. You must give the same instructions to everyone who does something wrong unintentionally, whether they are native-born Israelites or not.

30. “But any native-born Israelite or foreigner who deliberately does something wrong insults the Lord and must be excluded from the people.

31. That person has despised the word of the Lord and broken the Lord’s command. He must be excluded completely. He remains guilty.”

32. While the Israelites were in the desert, they found a man gathering wood on the day of worship.

33. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole community.

34. They kept him in custody until they decided what to do with him.

35. Then the Lord said to Moses, “This man must be put to death. The whole community must take him outside the camp and stone him.”

36. So the whole community took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the Lord commanded Moses.
