Confused by Numbers 15?

Confused by Numbers 15?

I was reading Numbers 15 and got a bit confused. Hashem commands the Israelites and resident strangers among the Israelites to follow His laws. I took ‘resident strangers’ to refer to Noahides? But then later on, they come across a man gathering wood on the Sabbath and put him to death?

My Hebrew us quite bad so it may be the translation, but I was confused because from how I read it it didn’t seem like the man was either an Israelite or a resident stranger? Just someone who the Israelites happened across?
