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

And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.

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

And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

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

And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.

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

And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

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

And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.
