וַיְבֻקַּ֤שׁ הַדָּבָר֙ וַיִּמָּצֵ֔א וַיִּתָּל֥וּ שְׁנֵיהֶ֖ם עַל־עֵ֑ץ וַיִּכָּתֵ֗ב בְּסֵ֛פֶר דִּבְרֵ֥י הַיָּמִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (פ)
사실하여 실정을 얻었으므로 두 사람을 나무에 달고 그 일을 왕의 앞에서 궁중 일기에 기록하니라
Or HaChaim
וימצאו איש מקשש עצים, they found a man collecting firewood. The reason that the Torah employs the word "they found" is because according to Yalkut Shimoni Moses had instructed the people to spread out and search for any one who was violating the Sabbath. The word מצא is used in a similar sense in Esther 2,23 where the plot to assassinate Ahasverus was being investigated.
