Numbers 15:33 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:33

And they that found him gathering sticks
Admonished him, as say the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi, but he would not desist; wherefore they

brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation;
to Moses and Aaron, and to the seventy elders, who might be at this time met together, to hear, try, and judge causes; for it cannot be thought that the whole body of the people are meant; and it is most likely that it was not on the sabbath day, but the day following, that they brought the man to them, who were then sitting in the court; though Aben Ezra observes, that some say they brought him to them the first night.

Numbers 15:33 In-Context

31 because they have rejected what the Lord said and have deliberately broken one of his commands. They are responsible for their own death.

32 Once, while the Israelites were still in the wilderness, a man was found gathering firewood on the Sabbath.

33 He was taken to Moses, Aaron, and the whole community,

34 and was put under guard, because it was not clear what should be done with him.

35 Then the Lord said to Moses, "The man must be put to death; the whole community is to stone him to death outside the camp."
