Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually. It is an everlasting covenant on the behalf of the children of Israel.

10 And there went forth a son of an Israelitish woman, but who was the son of an Egyptian man, among the children of Israel; and there quarrelled together in the camp this son of the Israelitish woman and an Israelitish man.
The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out amongst the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
11 And the son of the Israelitish woman pronounced the [holy] Name, and blasphemed; and they brought him unto Moses: [and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan; ]
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

14 Lead forth the blasphemer to without the camp; and all that have heard him shall lay their hands upon his head; and all the congregation shall stone him.
“Bring him who cursed out of the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15 And unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, Whatsoever man that blasphemeth his God shall bear his sin.
You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
16 But he that pronounced the name of the Lord [with blasphemy] shall be put to death, all the congregation shall stone him; be he a stranger, or be he one that is born in the land, when he pronounceth the [holy] Name [with blasphemy, ] he shall be put to death.
He who blasphemes the LORD’s name, he shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreigner as well as the native-born shall be put to death when he blasphemes the Name.
17 And he that taketh the life of any man shall surely be put to death.
“‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18 And he that taketh the life of a beast shall make it good: beast for beast.
He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.
19 And if a man cause a bodily defect in his neighbor, as he hath done, so shall be done to him;
If anyone injures his neighbour, it shall be done to him as he has done:
20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: in the manner as he hath caused a bodily defect in a man, so shall it be done to him.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. It shall be done to him as he has injured someone.
21 And he that killeth a beast, shall make restitution for it; and he that killeth a man, shall be put to death.
He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
22 One manner of judicial law shall ye have, the stranger shall be equal with one of your own country; for I am the Lord your God.
You shall have one kind of law for the foreigner as well as the native-born; for I am the LORD your God.’”
23 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they led forth the blasphemer to without the camp, and they stoned him with stones; and the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
