Leviticus 24:14–23

¹⁴“Take outside the camp him who has cursed; then let all who heard him ⁿlay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

¹⁵“Then you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Whoever curses his God ^oshall ⁴bear his sin. ¹⁶And whoever ^pblasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him, the stranger as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall be put to death.

^17q‘Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death. ^18rWhoever kills an animal shall make it good, animal for animal.

¹⁹‘If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as ^she has done, so shall it be done to him—²⁰fracture for ^tfracture, ^ueye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it be done to him. ²¹And whoever kills an animal shall restore it; but whoever kills a man shall be put to death. ²²You shall have ^vthe ⁵same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the Lord your God.’ ”

²³Then Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they took outside the camp him who had cursed, and stoned him with stones. So the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
