Leviticus 24:14-23

14“Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and have all who heard him 1lay their hands on his head; then 2have all the congregation stone him. 15You shall also speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘3If anyone curses his God, then he will bear the responsibility for his sin. 16Moreover, the one who 4blasphemes 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 5if someone 6takes any human life, he must be put to death. 18But 7the one who 8takes 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: 209fracture for fracture, 10eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has injured a person, so shall it be 11inflicted on him. 21So the one who 12kills an animal shall make restitution, but 13the one who 14kills a person shall be put to death. 22There shall be only 15one 16standard 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.
