Leviticus 24:14-23

14“Bring the one who cursed, out of the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and have the entire congregation stone him.

15“Then you will speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: Whoever curses his God will bear his sin.

16Whoever blasphemes the Name of Adonai must surely be put to death. The whole congregation must stone him. The outsider as well as the native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, is to be put to death.

17“Whoever mortally strikes down any man must surely be put to death.

18Whoever mortally strikes down an animal is to make restitution—life for life.

19If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done, the same is to be done to him:

20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he has injured someone, so it shall it be done to him.

21“Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution, but the one who kills a man is to be put to death.

22You are to have one standard of justice for the outsider as well as the native-born, for I am Adonai your God.”

23So Moses spoke to Bnei-Yisrael, and they led the one who had cursed out of the camp, then stoned him with rocks. Thus Bnei-Yisrael did as Adonai commanded Moses.
