“And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.”
So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses' — the public execution by the assembly enacts God's judgment; the community, assembled as God's people, carries out the divine sentence, reinforcing the covenant's binding force on all members.
