Leviticus 24:12-23 - An Example Of Just And Fair Punishment

12 And they put him inward, that Moses should declare unto them what the LORD said thereto.

13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 14 "Bring him that cursed without the host; and let all that heard him put their hands upon his head, and let all the multitude stone him. 15 And speak unto the children of Israel, saying, 'Whosoever curseth his God, shall bear his sin: 16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall die for it: all the multitude shall stone him to death. And the stranger as well as the Israelite if he curse the name, shall die for it.'

17 "He that killeth any man, shall die for it, 18 but he that killeth a beast shall pay for it, beast for beast. 19 If a man maim his neighbour, as he hath done, so shall it be done to him again: 20 broke for broke, eye for eye and tooth for tooth: even as he hath maimed a man, so shall he be maimed again. 21 So now he that killeth a beast shall pay for it: but he that killeth a man, shall die for it. 22 Ye shall have one manner of law among you: even for the stranger as well as for one of yourselves, for I am the LORD your God."

23 And Moses told the children of Israel, that they should bring him that had cursed, out of the host, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
