Numbers 15:30-36

30But the person who does [anything wrong] willfully and defiantly, whether he is native-born or a stranger, that one is blaspheming the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from among his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them].

31Because he has despised and rejected the word of the Lord, and has broken His commandment, that person shall be utterly cut off; [the responsibility for] his wickedness and guilt will be upon him.’ ”

32Now while the Israelites were in the wilderness, they found a man who was gathering wood on the Sabbath day.

33Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation;

34and they put him in custody, because it had not been explained [by God] what should be done to him.

35Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man shall certainly be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.”

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