New Testament

Leviticus 24:11-22 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. And the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the name of the Lord and cursed. And they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)

12. And they put him in custody, so that the words of the Lord might be shown to them.

13. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

14. Bring outside the camp him who has cursed, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let the entire congregation stone him.

15. You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.

16. Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and the entire congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreigner as well as the native in the land, when he blasphemes the name, then he shall be put to death.

17. Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death.

18. Whoever kills an animal shall make restitution, animal for animal.

19. If anyone causes injury to his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him,

20. fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused an injury to another, so shall it be done to him.

21. Whoever kills an animal shall make restitution. And whoever kills a man shall be put to death.

22. You shall have one manner of law for the foreigner as for the native, for I am the Lord your God.
