10 Once there was an Israeli woman and an Mitsri (Egyptian) man who had a son who lived among the Israelis, and he got into a fight with an Israeli man. 11 Then that son of the Israeli woman slandered Yahweh’s name and cursed, and so the people took him to Mosheh (Moses). (The mother was Shelomit, a daughter of Divri from the Dan tribe.) 12 They held him in custody while waiting for Yahweh’s decision.

13 Then Yahweh told Mosheh:

14 Take that man who cursed outside the camp, and everyone who heard him must place their hands on his head, and then all the people must execute him by throwing rocks at him. 15 Then tell the people that anyone who curses God must bear the results of their own wickedness. 16 Anyone who slanders Yahweh’s reputation must be executed. The gathered assembly must throw rocks at them. It makes no difference whether they’re a foreigner staying there, or a native-born Israeli.

17 Anyone who murders another person, must definitely be executed.[ref] 18 Anyone who kills someone else’s animal, must make restitution with the same kind of animal.

19 Anyone who injures a fellow citizen, must have the same done to them—20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth—however they injured the other person, that’s what must be done to them.[ref] 21 Anyone who kills someone else’s animal must replace it, but anyone who kills another person must be executed. 22 There’s only one set of regulations for both the foreigner and the native-born citizen[ref] because I am your god Yahweh.

23 Mosheh (Moses) passed all that onto the people, and they took the man who had cursed Yahweh outside the camp where they executed him with rocks. The Israelis did exactly what Yahweh had commanded them via Mosheh.
