Numbers 15:32-41 ▼

32 While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.

33 Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation,

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

35 And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.”

36 So the whole congregation took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

37 And the LORD said to Moses,

38 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them that throughout the generations to come they are to make for themselves tassels for the corners of their garments, with a blue cord on each tassel.

39 These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the commandments of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by following your own heart and your own eyes.

40 Then you will remember and obey all My commandments, and you will be holy to your God.

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