Numbers

Numbers 15:33–36

³³Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation, ³⁴and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody.

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

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