His mother's name was Shelomit, the daughter of Divri, of the tribe of Dan. 12 They put him in custody, that it might be declared to them at the mouth of the LORD. 13 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying, 14 Bring forth him who has cursed outside of the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 15 You shall speak to the children of Yisra'el, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. 16 He who blasphemes the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the sojourner, as the home-born, when he blasphemes the name [of the LORD], shall be put to death. 17 He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death. 18 He who strikes a animal mortally shall make it good, life for life. 19 If a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him:
