His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. ¹² And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord. ¹³ And the Lord said to Moses, ¹⁴ Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people. ¹⁵ And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head. ¹⁶ And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death. ¹⁷ And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death. ¹⁸ And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life. ¹⁹ And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;
