32. Once, while the Israelites were travelling through the desert, a man was caught gathering firewood on the Sabbath.
33. He was taken to Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the community.
34. But no one knew what to do with him, so he was not allowed to leave.
35. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the people to take that man outside the camp and stone him to death!”
36. So he was killed, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
37. The Lord told Moses
38. to say to the people of Israel, “Sew tassels on to the bottom edge of your clothes and tie a purple string to each tassel.
39-40. These will remind you that you must obey my laws and teachings. And when you do, you will be dedicated to me and won't follow your own sinful desires.
41. I am the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt.”
