New Testament

Numbers 15:33-41 New Century Version (NCV)

33. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and all the people.

34. They held the man under guard, because they did not know what to do with him.

35. Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely die. All the people must kill him by throwing stones at him outside the camp.”

36. So all the people took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the Lord commanded Moses.

37. The Lord said to Moses,

38. “Speak to the Israelites and tell them this: ‘Tie several pieces of thread together and attach them to the corners of your clothes. Put a blue thread in each one of these tassels. Wear them from now on.

39. You will have these tassels to look at to remind you of all the Lord’s commands. Then you will obey them and not be disloyal by following what your bodies and eyes want.

40. Then you will remember to obey all my commands, and you will be God’s holy people.

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