Leviticus 24:14-23

14“TakeH3318 the blasphemerH70431 outsideH2351 the campH4264, and have allH3605 who heardH8085 himH853 layH5564 their handsH3027 onH5921 his headH7218; then have the wholeH3605 assemblyH5712 stoneH7275 himH853.

15

And you are to tellH1696H559 the IsraelitesH1121H3478, ‘IfH3588 anyoneH376 cursesH7043 his GodH430, he shall bear the consequencesH5375 of his sinH2399. 16Whoever blasphemesH5344 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 must surely be put to deathH4191; the wholeH3605 assemblyH5712 must surely stoneH7275 him, whether he is a foreign residentH1616 or nativeH249; if he blasphemesH5344 the NameH8034, he must be put to deathH4191.

17And ifH3588 a manH376 takes the lifeH5221 of anyone elseH3605H5315H120, he must surely be put to deathH4191. 18Whoever killsH5221 an animalH929 must make restitutionH7999—lifeH5315 forH8478H5315 lifeH5315. 19IfH3588 anyoneH376 injuresH5414H3971 his neighborH5997, whateverH834 he has doneH6213H3651 must be doneH6213 to him: 20fractureH7667 forH8478 fractureH7667, eyeH5869 forH8478 eyeH5869, toothH8127 forH8478 toothH8127.2 Just asH834 he injuredH5414H3971 the other personH120, the sameH3651 must be inflictedH5414 on him.

21Whoever killsH5221 an animalH929 must make restitutionH7999, but whoever killsH5221 a manH120 must be put to deathH4191. 22You are to haveH1961 the sameH259 standard of lawH4941 for the foreign residentH1616 and the nativeH249H1961; forH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.’”

23Then MosesH4872 spokeH1696 toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478, and they tookH3318 the blasphemerH7043 outsideH413H2351 the campH4264 and stonedH7275 himH68. So the IsraelitesH1121H3478 didH6213 asH834 the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
