Numbers 15:24-37

²⁴If you or they sin by forgetting to obey these instructions and none of the Israeli people realize that they were doing that, one young bull as an offering for all the people must be brought to the priest. That will be pleasing to me when it is burned on the altar.

³¹They have despised my commands and deliberately disobeyed them, so they must be punished for their sin by not being allowed to live among you anymore.”

³³Those who saw him doing that brought him to Aaron and Moses/me and the rest of the Israeli people.

³⁴They guarded him carefully, because they did not know what to do to punish him.

³⁵Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The man must be executed. All of you must kill him by throwing stones at him outside the camp.”

³⁶So they all took the man outside the camp and killed him by throwing stones at him, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me that they should do.

³⁷Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
