Leviticus 24:11-21

11 cumque blasphemasset nomen et maledixisset ei adductus est ad Mosen vocabatur autem mater eius Salumith filia Dabri de tribu Dan

12 miseruntque eum in carcerem donec nossent quid iuberet Dominus

13 qui locutus est ad Mosen

14 dicens educ blasphemum extra castra et ponant omnes qui audierunt manus suas super caput eius et lapidet eum populus universus

15 et ad filios Israhel loqueris homo qui maledixerit Deo suo portabit peccatum suum

16 et qui blasphemaverit nomen Domini morte moriatur lapidibus opprimet eum omnis multitudo sive ille civis seu peregrinus fuerit qui blasphemaverit nomen Domini morte moriatur

17 qui percusserit et occiderit hominem morte moriatur

18 qui percusserit animal reddat vicarium id est animam pro anima

19 qui inrogaverit maculam cuilibet civium suorum sicut fecit fiet ei

20 fracturam pro fractura oculum pro oculo dentem pro dente restituet qualem inflixerit maculam talem sustinere cogetur

21 qui percusserit iumentum reddet aliud qui percusserit hominem punietur
