Contextual Overview
30 "‘But anyone who sins on purpose is against the Lord and must be cut off from the people, whether it is someone born among you or a foreigner. 31 That person has turned against the Lord 's word and has not obeyed his commands. Such a person must surely be cut off from the others. He is guilty.'" 32 When the Israelites were still in the desert, they found a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day. 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and all the people. 34 They held the man under guard, because they did not know what to do with him. 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, "The man must surely die. All the people must kill him by throwing stones at him outside the camp." 36 So all the people took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Leviticus 24:12
Reciprocal: Exodus 18:15 - to inquire Numbers 27:2 - General Numbers 27:5 - General Acts 12:10 - the first
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they put him in ward,.... In a certain prison in the camp; perhaps the same in which the blasphemer was put, Leviticus 24:12; and for much the same reason:
because it was not declared what should be done to him: that is, what kind of death he should die, as Jarchi and Aben Ezra; it had been before declared that the sabbath breaker should die, but not what death he should die, Exodus 31:15; though some think it was a matter of doubt whether gathering of sticks was a breach of the sabbath, or at least such a breach of it as required death; and the answer of the Lord seems to confirm this sense, as follows.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Death had indeed been assigned as the penalty Exodus 31:14; Exodus 35:2; but it had not been determined how that death was to be inflicted.
