“And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.”
Then the LORD said to Moses, 'The man must die. Take him outside the camp and stone him to death' — God's judgment is swift and absolute: death by stoning for Sabbath violation. The severity (capital punishment for Sabbath violation) demonstrates the sign's importance; the Sabbath, as a covenant sign, cannot be violated with impunity.
