Nombres 15:34 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:34

And they put him in ward

Nombres 15:34 In-Context

32 Or, les enfants d'Israël, étant au désert, trouvèrent un homme qui ramassait du bois, le jour du sabbat.
33 Et ceux qui le trouvèrent ramassant du bois, l'amenèrent à Moïse et à Aaron, et à toute l'assemblée.
34 Et ils le mirent en prison; car ce qu'on devait lui faire n'avait pas été déclaré.
35 Alors l'Éternel dit à Moïse: Cet homme sera puni de mort; que toute l'assemblée le lapide hors du camp.
36 Toute l'assemblée le fit donc sortir du camp, et le lapida, et il mourut, comme l'Éternel l'avait commandé à Moïse.
