And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

"Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have all the congregation stone him.

Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

"You shall also speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'If anyone curses his God, then he will bear the responsibility for his sin.

And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

'Moreover, the one who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The stranger as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord , he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.
