Numbers 15:29-40 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

29. You shall have one law for him who does anything unintentionally, for him who is native among the sons of Israel and for the alien who sojourns among them.

30. But the person who does anything defiantly, whether he is native or an alien, that one is blaspheming the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.

31. Because he has despised the word of the Lord and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his guilt will be on him.'"

32. Now while the sons of Israel 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 and Aaron and to all the congregation;

34. and they put him in custody because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

35. Then the Lord said to Moses, "The man shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp."

36. So all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

37. The Lord also spoke to Moses, saying,

38. "Speak to the sons of Israel, and tell them that they shall make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put on the tassel of each corner a cord of blue.

39. It shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the Lord, so as to do them and not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot,

40. so that you may remember to do all My commandments and be holy to your God.
