Leviticus 24:10–23

Punishment for Blasphemy

10 And an Israelite woman’s son, and he was an Egyptian man’s son, went out in the midst of the Israelites;t and the Israelite woman’s son and anu Israelite man fought in the camp. 11 Thenv the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the name, and he cursed, sow they brought him to Moses—and the name of his mother was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. 12 Thenx they put him in custody so thaty the matter might be made clear to them in accordance with the mouth of Yahweh.

13 Thenz Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 14 “Bring the curser outside the camp,a and all the hearers shall place their hands on his head, and the whole community shall stone him. 15 And you shall speak to the Israelites,b saying, ‘Any manc when he curses his God shall beard his sin. 16 And he who blasphemes Yahweh’s name certainly shall be put to death; the whole community certainly shall stone him. As the alien, so the native shall be put to death at blaspheming his name.

17 “ ‘And when a man kills any human being, he certainly shall be put to death. 18 And he who killse a domestic animal must repay for it life in place of life. 19 And when a man causesf a physical defect in his fellow citizen according tog what he has done, so it shall be done to him: 20 fracture in place of fracture, eye in place of eye, tooth in place of tooth—according toh the physical defect he causesi to the person, likewise it shall be causedj to him. 21 And a killer of a domestic animal must repay for it, and a killer of a human shall be put to death. 22 You must havek one norm; as for the alien, sol it must be for the native, because I am Yahweh your God.’ ”

23 Thusm Moses spoke to the Israelites,n and they brought the curser outside the camp,o and they stoned him with stones, and the Israelitesp did just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
