Leviticus 24:10-23

10Now the son of an Israelite woman--his father was an Egyptian--went out among the sons of Israel; and the Israelite woman’s son and an Israelite man had a fight within the camp. 11And the 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.) 12Then they put him in custody, waiting for Moses to give them a clear decision in accordance with 2the command of the Lord.

13Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 14“Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and have all who heard him 3lay their hands on his head; then 4have all the congregation stone him. 15You shall also speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘5If anyone curses his God, then he will bear the responsibility for his sin. 16Moreover, the one who 6blasphemes the name of the Lord must be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The stranger as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

17‘Now 7if someone 8takes any human life, he must be put to death. 18But 9the one who 10takes the life of an animal shall make restitution, life for life. 19If someone injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so shall it be done to him: 2011fracture for fracture, 12eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has injured a person, so shall it be 13inflicted on him. 21So the one who 14kills an animal shall make restitution, but 15the one who 16kills a person shall be put to death. 22There shall be only 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. So the sons of Israel did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
