Numbers 15
32: while the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day 33: and those that found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation 34: they put him in custody, because it had not been made clear what should be done to him 35: and the lord said to Moses, 'the man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.' 36: and all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death as the lord had commanded Moses.
Just when I thought Moses was going to be the hero :( A man/husband/father stoned to death for daring to gather wood, presumably to warm his family. Very virtuous...
