I meant it as an example of activities that may be construed as being work. It may be construed that people who caught the stick gatherer were themselves engaged in work by arresting him....nor does it say what they were doing out of camp. There are too many holes in the account.

Not that it matters to the contradiction between a God of love who ''is not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs. ''Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.'' and a God who orders a man killed for the trivial offense of gathering sticks on a Sabbath....which may not even be listed on the 'not to do list'
