Exegesis
The direct object marker oto {אֹת֔וֹ | ʾôtô} ‘him’ frames the participial clause hamotzeim {הַמֹּצְאִ֥ים | hammôṣēʾîm} ‘the finders’ and its participle mekoshes etzim {מְקֹשֵׁ֣שׁ עֵצִ֑ים | məqōšēš ʿēṣîm} ‘gathering sticks’, functioning as a descriptive circumstantial clause.
In context — Numbers 15:33
And those who found him gathering wood brought him near to Moses and to Aaron, and to all the congregation .
