Numbers 15:34-41

34 qui recluserunt eum in carcerem nescientes quid super eo facere deberent

35 dixitque Dominus ad Mosen morte moriatur homo iste obruat eum lapidibus omnis turba extra castra

36 cumque eduxissent eum foras obruerunt lapidibus et mortuus est sicut praeceperat Dominus

37 dixit quoque Dominus ad Mosen

38 loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos ut faciant sibi fimbrias per angulos palliorum ponentes in eis vittas hyacinthinas

39 quas cum viderint recordentur omnium mandatorum Domini nec sequantur cogitationes suas et oculos per res varias fornicantes

40 sed magis memores praeceptorum Domini faciant ea sintque sancti Deo suo

41 ego Dominus Deus vester qui eduxi vos de terra Aegypti ut essem vester Deus
