The Sabbath-Breaker

Numbers 15:32-36

15
Chapter 15
32 While the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath. 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole congregation. 34 They held him in custody because it was not clear what should be done to him. 35 And the LORD said to Moses, "The man shall be put to death. The whole congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp." 36 Then the whole congregation brought him outside the camp, and they stoned him with stones, and he died, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
