Punishment for Blasphemy

Leviticus 24

10 And a son of an Israelitish woman goeth out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man), in the midst of the sons of Israel, and strive in the camp do the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel, 11 and the son of the Israelitish woman execrateth the Name, and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his mother's name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan; 12 and he causeth him to rest in charge -- to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.

13 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 14 `Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him. 15 `And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God -- then he hath borne his sin; 16 and he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.
