God's Word Translation

Numbers 15:33-41 God's Word Translation (GW)

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.

37. The Lord said to Moses,

38. “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: For generations to come they must wear tassels on the corners of their clothes with violet threads in each tassel.

39. Whenever you look at the threads in the tassel, you will remember all the Lord’s commands and obey them. Then you won’t do whatever you want and go after whatever you see, as if you were chasing after prostitutes.

40. You will remember to obey all my commands, and you will be holy to your God.

41. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord your God.”
