Bamidbar 15:30-41 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

30. But the nefesh that sinneth with a yad ramah (high hand, defiantly), whether he be born in the land, or a ger, the same blasphemes Hashem; and that nefesh shall be cut off from among his people.

31. Because he hath despised the Devar Hashem, and hath broken His mitzvah, that nefesh shall utterly be cut off; his avon shall be upon him.

32. And while the Bnei Yisroel were in the midbar, they found a man that gathered sticks on Shabbos.

33. And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moshe and Aharon, and unto Kol HaEdah.

34. And they put him under custody, because it was not declared what should be done to him.

35. And Hashem said unto Moshe, The man shall be surely put to death; Kol HaEdah shall stone him with avanim outside the machaneh.

36. And Kol HaEdah brought him outside the machaneh, and stoned him with avanim, and he died; as Hashem commanded Moshe.

37. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

38. Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and bid them that they make them tzitzis on the corners of their garments throughout their derot, and that they put upon the tzitzis of the corners a thread of turquoise wool;

39. And it shall be unto you for a tzitzit, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the mitzvot Hashem, and do them; and that ye follow not after your own lev and your own eyes, after which ye used to go a-whoring:

40. That ye may remember, and do all My mitzvot, and be kadoshim unto Eloheichem.

41. I am Hashem Eloheichem, Who brought you out of Eretz Mitzrayim, to be for you Elohim: I am Hashem Eloheichem.
