Leviticus 24:14-23 ▼

14 “Bring the one who has cursed [the LORD] outside the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head [as witnesses to his guilt]; then let all the congregation stone him.

15 You shall speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God will bear his sin [through his own death].

16 Further, the one who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall most certainly be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him. The stranger as well as the native-born shall be put to death when he blasphemes the Name [of the LORD].

17 ‘If a man takes the life of any human being [unlawfully], he shall most certainly be put to death.

18 The one who kills an animal shall replace it, animal for animal.

19 If a man injures his neighbor (fellow citizen), whatever he has done shall be done to him:

20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has injured a man, so shall the same be done to him.

21 The one who kills an animal shall replace it; but he who kills a human being [unlawfully] shall be put to death.

22 You shall have one standard of law for the stranger among you as well as for the native, for I am the LORD your God.’”

23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they brought the one who had cursed [the LORD] outside the camp and stoned him with stones. Thus the Israelites did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
