Leviticus 24:11-23 ▼

11 And the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)

12 And they put him in custody so that the command of Yahweh might be made clear to them.

13 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

14 “Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then let all the congregation stone him.

15 And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone curses his God, then he will bear his sin.

16 Moreover, the one who blasphemes the name of Yahweh shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

17 ‘If a man strikes down the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death.

18 And the one who strikes down the life of an animal shall make restitution for it, life for life.

19 If a man injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so it shall be done to him:

20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has injured a man, so it shall be inflicted on him.

21 Thus the one who strikes down an animal shall make restitution for it, but the one who strikes down a man shall be put to death.

22 There shall be one standard of judgment for you; it shall be for the sojourner as well as the native, for I am Yahweh your God.’”

23 Then 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 Yahweh had commanded Moses.
