Blasphemy and Its Punishment
10 A man whose mother was an Israelite and whose father was an Egyptian came out among the Israelites, and the Israelite woman’s son and a certain Israelite began fighting in the camp. 11 The Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the Name in a curse. And they brought him to Moses—now his mother’s name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan(A)— 12 and they put him in custody, until the decision of the Lord should be made clear to them.(B)
13 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 14 “Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and let all who were within hearing lay their hands on his head, and let the whole congregation stone him.(C) 15 And speak to the Israelites, saying: Anyone who curses God shall incur guilt. 16 One who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death; the whole congregation shall stone the blasphemer. Aliens as well as the native-born, when they blaspheme the Name, shall be put to death.(D) 17 Anyone who kills a human being shall be put to death.(E) 18 Anyone who kills an animal shall make restitution for it, life for life.(F) 19 Anyone who maims another shall suffer the same injury in return: 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; the injury inflicted is the injury to be suffered.(G) 21 One who kills an animal shall make restitution for it, but one who kills a human being shall be put to death.(H) 22 You shall have one law for the alien and for the native-born, for I am the Lord your God.”(I) 23 Moses spoke thus to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him to death. The Israelites did as the Lord had commanded Moses.

A Blasphemer Put to Death
10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite. 11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name(A) with a curse;(B) so they brought him to Moses.(C) (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.)(D) 12 They put him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them.(E)
13 Then the Lord said to Moses: 14 “Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him.(F) 15 Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who curses their God(G) will be held responsible;(H) 16 anyone who blasphemes(I) the name of the Lord is to be put to death.(J) The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death.
17 “‘Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death.(K) 18 Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution(L)—life for life. 19 Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth.(M) The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. 21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution,(N) but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death.(O) 22 You are to have the same law for the foreigner(P) and the native-born.(Q) I am the Lord your God.’”
23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him.(R) The Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses.
