Contextual Overview
10 And forth went the son of a woman of Israel - he being the son of a man of Egypt - in the midst of the sons of Israel; 11 and the son of the woman of Israel, and a man of Israel, reviled one another in the camp. And the son of the Israelitish woman uttered contemptuously the Name, and reviled. So they brought him in unto Moses, - now, the name of his mother, was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan; 12 and they put him in ward, - that a clear answer might be given to them at the mouth of Yahweh. 13 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: 14 Bring forth him that reviled unto the out-side of the camp, then shall all that heard him lean their hands upon his head, - and all the assembly shall stone him. 15 And, unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak saying, - What man soever curseth his God shall bear his sin. 16 And, he that contemptuously uttereth the name of Yahweh, shall be, surely put to death, all the assembly shall, surely stone, him, - as the sojourner so the home-born, when he contemptuously-uttereth the Name, he shall be put to death. 17 And, when, any man, by smiting taketh the life of any human being, he shall be surely put to death, 18 And he that by smiting taketh away the life of a beast, shall make it good, - life for life. 19 And, when, any man, inflicteth a blemish upon his neighbour, as he hath done, so, shall it be done to him:
