New Testament

Numbers 15:29-41 Modern English Version (MEV)

29. You shall have one law for the person who acts through ignorance, for the natural-born citizen among the children of Israel and foreigner who lives in your midst.

30. But the person who acts by a high hand, the natural-born citizen or the foreigner, the same reviles the Lord, and that person will be cut off from among his people.

31. Because he has despised the word of the Lord and has broken His commandment, that person will be totally cut off. His iniquity will be on him.

32. While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man who gathered sticks on the Sabbath day.

33. The ones who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the assembly.

34. They put him in confinement because it was not declared what should be done to him.

35. The Lord said to Moses, “The man will surely die. All the assembly will stone him with stones outside the camp.”

36. All the assembly brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died as the Lord commanded Moses.

37. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

38. Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them to make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments throughout the generations to come, and they will put a ribbon of blue on the corners of their garments.

39. And it will be for you a tassel, and you will see it, and you will remember all the commandments of the Lord, and you will do them, and you will not follow the lust of your own heart and your own eyes.

40. So shall you remember and do all My commandments, and be holy to your God.

41. I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.
