Leviticus 24:13-16
24:14 a Those who heard a blasphemer curse were to lay their hands on his head. This indicated their own innocence by symbolically transferring the guilt (see 16:21 b), as well as their willingness to accept responsibility for the blasphemer’s death. A single witness was not enough to cause a man to die (see Num 35:30 c; Deut 17:2-7 d; Matt 18:16 e; 2 Cor 13:1 f; 1 Tim 5:19 g; Heb 10:28 h).
