Leviticus 24 — Context

And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.

And the Lord said to Moses,

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.

And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.

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.

And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.

And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.
