New International Reader's Version NIRV
New International Version NIV
32 The people of Israel were in the desert. One Sabbath day, people saw a man gathering wood.
32
While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day.
33 They brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole community.
33
Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly,
34 They kept him under guard. It wasn't clear what should be done to him.
34
and they kept him in custody, because it was not 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."
35
Then the LORD said to Moses, “The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.”
36 So the people took the man outside the camp. There they killed him by throwing stones at him. They did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
36
So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses.
