When it said to throw rocks at the guy who was caught gathering wood on the Sabbath, was it figurative?

In fact, in light of a recend discovery of a new Arabic letter, the verse actually states that he was not only picking up sticks, but he was reciting the rhyme, 5, 6 pick up sticks. For this, Jahova was mightily irritated, and thus ordered the Hebrews to make an angry rock song to humiliate him. Unfortunately, God had Verizon, and the call was dropped before he could add anything after rock. Naturally, Moses thought he meant to stone him ,and the rest is history.
