Leviticus 24:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

14 Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and when all who heard him have laid their hands[a] on his head,(A) let the whole community stone him. 15 Tell the Israelites: Anyone who blasphemes God shall bear the penalty; 16 whoever utters the name of the Lord in a curse shall be put to death.(B) The whole community shall stone that person; alien and native-born alike must be put to death for uttering the Lord’s name in a curse.

Footnotes

  1. 24:14 Laid their hands: see notes on 1:4 and 16:21. It may be that blasphemy generated a type of pollution which the hearers return to the culprit by this gesture.
