Numbers 15:34

34 They held him in custody because they did not know what to do with him.

Numbers 15:34 In-Context

32 One day while the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they discovered a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
33 The people who found him doing this took him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the community.
34 They held him in custody because they did not know what to do with him.
35 Then the LORD said to Moses, “The man must be put to death! The whole community must stone him outside the camp.”
36 So the whole community took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
