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;

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;

and they put him in ward, - that a clear answer might be given to them at the mouth of Yahweh.

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

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.

And, unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak saying, - What man soever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

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.

So then Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, and they took forth the reviler, unto the outside of the camp, and stoned him with stones. Thus, the sons of Israel did, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
