Leviticus 24:14-23

14 “Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and have all who heard him ^alay their hands on his head; then ^bhave all the congregation stone him. 15 You shall also speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘ ^cIf anyone curses his God, then he will bear the responsibility for his sin. 16 Moreover, the one who ^dblasphemes the name of the Lord must be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The stranger as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

An Eye for an Eye

17 ‘Now ^eif someone ^{▼▼Lit strikes}takes any human life, he must be put to death. 18 But ^gthe one who ^{▼▼Lit strikes}takes the life of an animal shall make restitution, life for life. 19 If someone injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so shall it be done to him: 20 ⁱfracture for fracture, ^jeye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has injured a person, so shall it be ^{▼▼Lit given}inflicted on him. 21 So the one who ^{▼▼Lit strikes down}kills an animal shall make restitution, but ^mthe one who ^{▼▼Lit strikes down}kills a person shall be put to death. 22 There shall be only ^oone ^{▼▼Lit judgment}standard for you; it shall be for the stranger as well as the native, for I am the Lord your God.’” 23 Then Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought the one who had cursed outside the camp, and stoned him with stones. So the sons of Israel did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
