Exegesis
The collective kol-ha-eidah {כָּל־הָעֵדָה | kāl-hā-ʿē-ḏāh} ‘the whole congregation’ denotes corporate responsibility, and the locative michutz la-machaneh {מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה | mi-ḥûẓ la-ma-ḥă-nê} ‘outside the camp’ marks ritual exclusion. This legal syntax—emphatic verbs, collective agency, and spatial boundary—was rendered in English to preserve its formal legal force and structural emphasis.
In context — Numbers 15:35
And the LORD said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death ; the whole congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.”
