Numbers 15:32-36
15:32 When the Israelites were in the wilderness they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
15:33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and to the whole community.
15:34 They put him in custody, because there was no clear instruction about what should be done to him.
15:35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; the whole community must stone him with stones outside the camp.”
15:36 So the whole community took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
Jeremiah 17:24-27
17:24 The
Lord says,
‘You must make sure to obey me. You must not bring any loads through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day. You must set the Sabbath day apart to me. You must not do any work on that day.
17:25 If you do this,
then the kings and princes who follow in David’s succession
and ride in chariots or on horses will continue to enter through these gates, as well as their officials and the people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem.
This city will always be filled with people.
17:26 Then people will come here from the towns in Judah, from the villages surrounding Jerusalem, from the territory of Benjamin, from the western foothills, from the southern hill country, and from the southern part of Judah. They will come bringing offerings to the temple of the
Lord: burnt offerings, sacrifices, grain offerings, and incense along with their thank offerings.
17:27 But you must obey me and set the Sabbath day apart to me. You must not carry any loads in through
the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. If you disobey, I will set the gates of Jerusalem on fire. It will burn down all the fortified dwellings in Jerusalem and no one will be able to put it out.’”
