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. ¹⁵And you shall speak to the Israelites,^b saying, ‘Any man^c when he curses his God shall bear^d his sin. ¹⁶And 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. ¹⁸And he who kills^e a domestic animal must repay for it life in place of life. ¹⁹And when a man causes^f a physical defect in his fellow citizen according to^g what he has done, so it shall be done to him: ²⁰fracture in place of fracture, eye in place of eye, tooth in place of tooth—according to^h the physical defect he causesⁱ to the person, likewise it shall be caused^j to him. ²¹And a killer of a domestic animal must repay for it, and a killer of a human shall be put to death. ²²You must have^k one norm; as for the alien, so^l it must be for the native, because I am Yahweh your God.’ ”

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