They catch a guy gathering wood on the Sabbath and aren’t sure what to do with him. So, they take him to the tent of meeting, and God says….
KILL HIM!
I will never understand this! He was gathering wood. OK, it’s against God’s laws, but how about a goat offering or something?
The deeper question is why does God kill so many people in the Old Testament? In this case, I thought, “This has to be a misinterpretation of the Hebrew or Greek or whatever.” Or, maybe, God is showing us the seriousness; especially back then, of not following his commands. It also crossed my mind that physical death is NOT the worst thing that can happen to us.
But, to be honest, I think this may be one thing that we just never understand…and choose to follow any way!
