Leviticus 24:14-23

14“Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him 1lay their hands on his head; then 2let all the congregation stone him. 15You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘3If anyone curses his God, then he will bear his sin. 16Moreover, the one who 4blasphemes 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‘5If a man 6takes the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death. 187The one who 8takes the life of an animal shall make it good, life for life. 19If a man 9injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so it shall be done to him: 2010fracture for fracture, 11eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has 12injured a man, so it shall be 13inflicted on him. 21Thus the one who 14kills an animal shall make it good, but 15the one who 16kills a man shall be put to death. 22There shall be 17one 18standard 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.
