Leviticus 24:14-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

14. saying: Lead away the blasphemer beyond the camp, and let all who heard him place their hands upon his head, and let the entire people stone him.

15. And you shall say to the sons of Israel: The man who curses his God shall bear his sin,

16. and whoever will have blasphemed the name of the Lord shall be put to death. The entire multitude shall overwhelm him with stones, whether he be a citizen or a sojourner. Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death.

17. Whoever will have struck and killed a man shall be put to death.

18. Whoever will have struck down an animal shall repay its equivalent, that is, a life for a life.

19. Whoever will have inflicted a blemish on any of his citizens, just as he has done, so shall it be done to him:

20. fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he repay. Whatever degree of blemish he has inflicted, so shall he be compelled to suffer.

21. Whoever strikes down a beast, shall repay another. Whoever strikes a man shall be punished.

22. Let there be equal judgment among you, whether it is a sojourner or a citizen who will have sinned. For I am the Lord your God.
