Leviticus 24:10-23
10Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel; and the Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel struggled with each other in the camp. 11The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the 1Name and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.) 12They put him in 2custody 3so that 4the command of the Lord might be made clear to them.
13Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 14“Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him 5lay their hands on his head; then 6let all the congregation stone him. 15You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘7If anyone curses his God, then he will bear his sin. 16Moreover, the one who 8blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The alien as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
17‘9If a man 10takes the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death. 1811The one who 12takes the life of an animal shall make it good, life for life. 19If a man 13injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so it shall be done to him: 2014fracture for fracture, 15eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has 16injured a man, so it shall be 17inflicted on him. 21Thus the one who 18kills an animal shall make it good, but 19the one who 20kills a man shall be put to death. 22There shall be 21one 22standard for you; it shall be for the stranger as well as the native, for I am the Lord your God.’” 23Then Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought the one who had cursed outside the camp and stoned him with stones. Thus the sons of Israel did, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
