Lev 24:10 And the son of an Yisra’ĕlite woman, whose father was a
Mitsrite, went out among the children of Yisra’ĕl. And the Yisra’ĕlite
woman’s son and a man of Yisra’ĕl strove in the camp.
Lev 24:11 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.
Lev 24:12 And they put him in under guard, that it might be declared to them
at the mouth of יהוה.

Lev 24:14 “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.
Lev 24:15 “And speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘Anyone who
curses his Elohim shall bear his sin.
Lev 24:16 ‘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.
Lev 24:17 ‘And he who smites the life from any man shall certainly be put to
death.
Lev 24:18 ‘And he who smites a beast repays it, body for body.
Lev 24:19 ‘And when a man inflicts a blemish upon his neighbour, as he has
done so it is done to him:
Lev 24:20 ‘Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he inflicts a
blemish upon him, so it is done to him.
Lev 24:21 ‘And he who smites a beast repays it, and he who smites a man to
death is put to death.
Lev 24:22 ‘You are to have one right-ruling, for the stranger and for the
native, for I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ”
Lev 24:23 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.
