Leviticus 24:13–23

¹³Then the Lord said to Moses: ¹⁴“Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him.^{h 15}Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who curses their Godⁱ will be held responsible;^{j 16}anyone who blasphemes^k the name of the Lord is to be put to death.^l The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death.

¹⁷“ ‘Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death.^{m 18}Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitutionⁿ—life for life. ¹⁹Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: ²⁰fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth.^o The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. ²¹Whoever kills an animal must make restitution,^p but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death.^{q 22}You are to have the same law for the foreigner^r and the native-born.^s I am the Lord your God.’ ”

²³Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him.^t The Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses.
