28. The priest must then make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the person who acts in error sinning unintentionally, and when he makes atonement for him, he will be forgiven.
29. You are to have the same law for the person who acts in error, whether he is an Israelite or a foreigner who lives among you.
30. “But the person who acts defiantly, whether native or foreign resident, blasphemes the Lord. That person is to be cut off from his people.
31. He will certainly be cut off, because he has despised the Lord’s word and broken His command; his guilt remains on him.”
32. While the Israelites were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
33. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the entire community.
34. They placed him in custody because it had not been decided what should be done to him.
35. Then the Lord told Moses, “The man is to be put to death. The entire community is to stone him outside the camp.”
36. So the entire community brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
37. The Lord said to Moses,
38. “Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout their generations they are to make tassels for the corners of their garments, and put a blue cord on the tassel at each corner.
39. These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the Lord’s commands and obey them and not become unfaithful by following your own heart and your own eyes.
