03 Lev 24.10-16, 23 A case where the commandment was enforced by public execution

Leviticus 24:10–16, 23 (ESV)

10Now an Israelite woman’s son, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the people of Israel. And the Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought in the camp,

11and the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the Name, and cursed. Then they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

12And they put him in custody, till the will of the LORD should be clear to them.

13Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

14“Bring out of the camp the one who cursed, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

15And speak to the people of Israel, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.

16Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

23So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and they brought out of the camp the one who had cursed and stoned him with stones. Thus the people of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
