Leviticus 24:11-23 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

11. And the Yisra’ĕlite woman’s son blasphemed the Name, and cursed. So they brought him to Mosheh. Now his mother’s name was Shelomith the daughter of Diḇri, of the tribe of Dan.

12. And they put him in under guard, that it might be declared to them at the mouth of יהוה.

13. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,

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

15. “And speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘Anyone who curses his Elohim shall bear his sin.

16. ‘And he who blasphemes the Name of יהוה shall certainly be put to death, and all the congregation certainly stone him, the stranger as well as the native. When he blasphemes the Name, he is put to death.

17. ‘And he who smites the life from any man shall certainly be put to death.

18. ‘And he who smites a beast repays it, body for body.

19. ‘And when a man inflicts a blemish upon his neighbour, as he has done so it is done to him:

20. ‘Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he inflicts a blemish upon him, so it is done to him.

21. ‘And he who smites a beast repays it, and he who smites a man to death is put to death.

22. ‘You are to have one right-ruling, for the stranger and for the native, for I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ”

23. And Mosheh spoke to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and they brought the one who cursed outside the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Yisra’ĕl did as יהוה commanded Mosheh.
