Numbers 15:33
31 He shall certainly be cut off, because he has despised the word of the LORD and broken His commandment; his guilt remains on him.”
32 While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
Those who found the man gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation,
34 and because it had not been declared what should be done to him, they placed him in custody.
35 And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
