If, however, the meaning is that they did not know what the man’s punishment should be, the present passage is independent of those in Exodus. The Jews who laid down this law in the period after the exile were sternly acting in accordance with the dictates of their conscience. But (though in early days stern punishments may have been salutary) no Christian is compelled to believe that because the law stands in the Bible it is now in accordance with the mind of God. One effect of Christian civilization has been to confine the death penalty to murderers.<\/p>\n Death had indeed been assigned as the penalty Exo 31:14<\/span>; Exo 35:2<\/span>; but it had not been determined how that death was to be inflicted.<\/P> <\/p>\n i.e. Moses and Aaron, and the seventy rulers last mentioned. <\/P> What should be done to him, <\/B>i.e. in what manner he was to be cut off, or by what kind of death he was to die, which therefore God here particularly determines; otherwise it was known in general that sabbath-breakers were to be put to death, from Exo 31:14<\/span>; 35:2<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n And they put him in ward<\/strong>,….
