² “You shall also say to the sons of Israel:

‘Any man from the sons of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel ^(A)who gives any of his ^[a]offspring to Molech, shall surely be put to death; ^(B)the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

²⁷ ‘Now a man or a woman ^(A)who is a medium or a ^[a]spiritist shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones, their bloodguiltiness is upon them.’”

¹⁴ “Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him ^(A)lay their hands on his head; then ^(B)let all the congregation stone him. ¹⁵ You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘^(C)If anyone curses his God, then he will bear his sin. ¹⁶ Moreover, the one who ^(D)blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The alien as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

“An Eye for an Eye”

¹⁷ ‘^(E)If a man ^[a]takes the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death. ^18 (F)The one who ^[b]takes the life of an animal shall make it good, life for life. ¹⁹ If a man ^[c]injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so it shall be done to him: ^20 (G)fracture for fracture, ^(H)eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has ^[d]injured a man, so it shall be ^[e]inflicted on him. ²¹ Thus the one who ^[f]kills an animal shall make it good, but ^(I)the one who ^[g]kills a man shall be put to death. ²² There shall be ^(J)one ^[h]standard for you; it shall be for the stranger as well as the native, for I am the Lord your God.’” ²³ Then Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought the one who had cursed outside the camp and stoned him with stones. Thus the sons of Israel did, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

²⁵ Then ^(A)the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they will be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord, for their error.

³⁶ So all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him ^[a]to death with stones, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
