Leviticus 24:10-16
Lexham English Bible
Punishment for Blasphemy
10 And an Israelite woman’s son, and he was an Egyptian man’s son, went out in the midst of the Israelites;[a] and the Israelite woman’s son and an[b] Israelite man fought in the camp. 11 Then[c] the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the name, and he cursed, so[d] they brought him to Moses—and the name of his mother was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. 12 Then[e] they put him in custody so that[f] the matter might be made clear to them in accordance with the mouth of Yahweh.
13 Then[g] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 14 “Bring the curser outside the camp,[h] and all the hearers shall place their hands on his head, and the whole community shall stone him. 15 And you shall speak to the Israelites,[i] saying, ‘Any man[j] when he curses his God shall bear[k] his sin. 16 And he who blasphemes Yahweh’s name certainly shall be put to death; the whole community certainly shall stone him. As the alien, so the native shall be put to death at blaspheming his name.

New American Standard Bible
10 Now the son of an Israelite woman—his father was an Egyptian—went out among the sons of Israel; and the Israelite woman’s son and an Israelite man had a fight within the camp. 11 And the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the (A)Name and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.) 12 Then they put him in custody, waiting for Moses to give them a clear decision in accordance with (B)the command of the Lord.
13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 14 “Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and have all who heard him (C)lay their hands on his head; then (D)have all the congregation stone him. 15 You shall also speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘(E)If anyone curses his God, then he will bear the responsibility for his sin. 16 Moreover, the one who (F)blasphemes the name of the Lord must be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The stranger as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
