^2 (A)Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.

²⁷ But if you do not listen to me, to ^(A)keep the Sabbath day holy, ^(B)and not to bear a burden and enter by the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will ^(C)kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall ^(D)devour the palaces of Jerusalem and ^(E)shall not be quenched.’”

A Sabbathbreaker Executed

³² While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man ^(A)gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. ³³ And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation. ^34 (B)They put him in custody, because it had not been made clear what should be done to him. ³⁵ And the Lord said to Moses, ^(C)“The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall ^(D)stone him with stones outside the camp.” ³⁶ And all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, as the Lord commanded Moses.
