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 He has made fun of what the LORD has said. He has broken the LORD's commands. He must certainly be cut off. He is still guilty.' "
32 The people of Israel were in the desert. One Sabbath day, people saw a man gathering wood.
33 They brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole community.
34 They kept him under guard. It wasn't clear what should be done to him.
35 Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must die. The whole community must kill him by throwing stones at him. They must do it outside the camp."
