Leviticus

Leviticus 24:14–16

¹⁴“Take the blasphemer^c outside the camp, and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone him.

¹⁵And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin. ¹⁶Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must surely be put to death; the whole assembly must surely stone him, whether he is a foreign resident or native; if he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.
