Leviticus 24:10-16

Christian Standard Bible

A Case of Blasphemy

¹⁰ Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father was^[a] among the Israelites. A fight broke out in the camp between the Israelite woman’s son and an Israelite man. ¹¹ Her son cursed and blasphemed the Name,^(A) and they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, a daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan.^(B)) ¹² They put him in custody^(C) until the Lord’s decision^(D) could be made clear to them.

¹³ Then the Lord spoke to Moses: ¹⁴ “Bring the one who has cursed to the outside of the camp and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole community stone him.^{(E) 15} And tell the Israelites: If anyone curses his God, he will bear the consequences of his sin. ¹⁶ Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord must be put to death;^(F) the whole community is to stone him. If he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death, whether the resident alien or the native.
