Leviticus 24:10–17

¹⁰Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel; and the Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel struggled with each other in the camp.

¹¹And the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the ^aName and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)

¹²And they put him in ¹custody ²so that ^athe command of Yahweh might be made clear to them.

¹³Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁴“Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him ^alay their hands on his head; then ^blet all the congregation stone him.

¹⁵“And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘^aIf anyone curses his God, then he will bear his sin.

¹⁶‘Moreover, the one who ^ablasphemes the name of Yahweh shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

An Eye for an Eye

¹⁷‘^aIf a man strikes down the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death.
