Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man ^(C1)gathering wood on the Sabbath day.

And those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation;

and they placed him in custody, ^(C1)because it had not been decided what should be done to him.

Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must be put to death; ^(C1)all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp."

So all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him ^(F1)to death with stones, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

The LORD also spoke to Moses, saying,

"Speak to the sons of Israel and tell them that they shall make for themselves ^(C1)tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put on the tassel of each corner a ^(F1)violet thread.

"It shall be a tassel for you ^(F1)to look at and ^(C1)remember all the commandments of the LORD, so that you will do them and not ^(F2)follow your own heart and your own eyes, ^(F3)which led you to prostitute yourselves,

so that you will remember and do all My commandments and ^(C1)be holy to your God.

"I am the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the LORD your God."
