A Sabbath breaker today may have a guilty conscience. In the day of Moses, people were put to death. The text today says matter of factly...
"and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. "While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp." So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses."
This text reminds me of the Story of Ananias and Sapphira in the Book of Acts when they struck down suddenly for not telling the truth. In some portions of Scripture there seems to be either high holiness or quick consequences. Such is this text.
