Leviticus 24:10-23

10Now the sonH1121 of an IsraeliteH3482 womanH802, whose fatherH1121H376 was an EgyptianH4713, wentH3318 out amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; and the IsraeliteH3482 woman’sH3481 sonH1121 and a manH376 of IsraelH3481 struggledH5327 with each other in the campH4264. 11The sonH1121 of the IsraeliteH3482 womanH802 blasphemedH6895 the 1NameH8034 and cursedH7043. So they broughtH935 him to MosesH4872. (Now his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was ShelomithH8019, the daughterH1323 of DibriH1704, of the tribeH4294 of DanH1835.) 12They putH5117 him in 2custodyH4929 3so that 4the commandH6310 of the LordH3068 might be madeH6567 clearH6567 to them.

13Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 14“BringH3318 the one who has cursedH7043 outsideH413H4480H2351 the campH4264, and let allH3605 who heardH8085 him 5layH5564 their handsH3027 on his headH7218; then 6let allH3605 the congregationH5712 stoneH7275 him. 15You shall speakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ‘7IfH3588 anyoneH376 cursesH7043 his GodH430, then he will bearH5375 his sinH2399. 16Moreover, the one who 8blasphemesH5344 the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 shall surelyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191; allH3605 the congregationH5712 shall certainlyH7275 stoneH7275 him. The alienH1616 as well as the nativeH249, when he blasphemesH5344 the NameH8034, shall be putH4191 to deathH4191.

17‘9IfH3588 a manH376 10takesH5221 the lifeH5315 of anyH3605 humanH120 beingH5315, he shall surelyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191. 1811The one who 12takesH5221 the lifeH5315 of an animalH929 shall makeH7999 it goodH7999, lifeH5315 for lifeH5315. 19IfH3588 a manH376 13injuresH5414H4140 his neighborH5997, justH3512 as he has doneH6213, soH3651 it shall be doneH6213 to him: 2014fractureH7667 for fractureH7667, 15eyeH5869 for eyeH5869, toothH8127 for toothH8127; justH3512 as he has 16injuredH5414H4140 a manH120, soH3651 it shall be 17inflictedH5414 on him. 21Thus the one who 18killsH5221 an animalH929 shall makeH7999 it goodH7999, but 19the one who 20killsH5221 a manH120 shall be putH4191 to deathH4191. 22There shall be 21oneH259 22standardH4941 for you; it shall be for the strangerH1616 as well as the nativeH249, for I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’” 23Then MosesH4872 spokeH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and they broughtH3318 the one who had cursedH7043 outsideH413H4480H2351 the campH4264 and stonedH7275 him with stonesH68. Thus the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213, justH3512 as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
