New Testament

Leviticus 24:11-21 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

11. The son of the Israelite woman used the Name blasphemously with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.)

12. They put him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them.

13. Then the Lord said to Moses:

14. ‘Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him.

15. Say to the Israelites: “Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible;

16. anyone who uses the name of the Lord blasphemously is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they use the Name blasphemously they are to be put to death.

17. ‘ “Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death.

18. Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution – life for life.

19. Anyone who injures their neighbour is to be injured in the same manner:

20. fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury.

21. Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death.
