¹³And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ¹⁴‘Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him.

¹⁵‘And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God—then he hath borne his sin; ¹⁶and he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.

¹⁷‘And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.

¹⁸‘And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.

¹⁹‘And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he hath done so it is done to him; ²⁰breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him.

²¹‘And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth the life of man is put to death; ²²one judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I am Jehovah your God.’ ²³And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones; and the sons of Israel have done as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
