12 and he was kept in custody till a decision from the Lord should settle the case for them.
13 The Lord then said to Moses:
14 Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and when all who heard him have laid their hands on his head, 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. 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.
17 Whoever takes the life of any human being shall be put to death;
18 whoever takes the life of an animal shall make restitution of another animal, life for a life.
