Leviticus 24:14-23

14‘Take the man outside the camp. All the people who heard him speak must put a hand on him. All the people must throw stones at him until he is dead.

15Tell Israel's people, “It is a sin if any man says bad things about God's name.

16He must die. All the people must throw stones at him until he is dead.” You must kill anyone who says bad things about the Lord's name. They may be a foreigner or an Israelite. You must kill them.

17If any man kills another man you must kill him.

18A man might kill an animal that belongs to another man. Then he must give an animal that is alive to the man. You must give a living animal if you take a living animal's life.

19If a man hurts another person, you must punish him as he deserves. Hurt him in the same way that he has hurt the other person.

20If he has broken one of the person's bones, break one of his bones. If he hurt the person's eye, hurt his eye. If he has broken a person's tooth, break his tooth.

21A man might hit an animal so that it dies. That man must give back an animal that is alive. But if he kills a man, you must punish him with death.

22This rule is for all the people. It is the same rule for Israelites and foreigners. I am the Lord your God.’

23Moses spoke to Israel's people. A man had said bad things about God. They took him outside the camp. They threw stones at him until he died. Israel's people did as the Lord had told Moses.
