民数记记15: 30－36 Numbers15:30-36
但那擅敢行事的，无论是本地人是寄居的，他亵渎了耶和华，必从民中剪除。因他藐视耶和华的言语，违背耶和华的命令，那人总要剪除；他的罪孽要归到他身上。」以色列人在旷野的時候，遇见一個人在安息日捡柴。遇见他捡柴的人，就把他带到摩西、亚伦并全会众那里，将他收在监内；因为当怎样办他，还没有指明。耶和华吩咐摩西说：「总要把那人治死；全会众要在營外用石头把他打死。」於是全会众将他带到營外，用石头打死他，是照耶和华所吩咐摩西的。“But those who brazenly violate the Lord’s will, whether native-born Israelites or foreigners, have blasphemed the Lord, and they must be cut off from the community. Since they have treated the Lord’s word with contempt and deliberately disobeyed his command, they must be completely cut off and suffer the punishment for their guilt.” One day while the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they discovered a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day. The people who found him doing this took him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the community. They held him in custody because they did not know what to do with him. Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must be put to death! The whole community must stone him outside the camp.” So the whole community took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
在旧约的时候，那些故意不遵行耶和华的言语，特别以遵守安息日而言，就会被严重惩罚；因他们藐视与违背耶和华的旨意。比如，以色列人在狂野的时候，看见有一个人在安息日捡柴，他们带他到摩西的面前。那人得到很严厉的惩罚。这比喻提醒我们要谦卑和看重耶和华的话语与旨意。
During the days of the Old Testament, those who intentionally disobey the word and will of the Lord, especially here it refers to the observance of the Sabbath, they would be severely punished. For example, while the people of Israel were in the wilderness, saw a man gathering woods on the Sabbath day and brought him to Moses, he received a very severe punishment. This incident reminds us to be humble and careful to follow the word and will of the Lord.
