Leviticus 24:7-17

7 And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
8 Every Sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.
9 And it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the offerings of the Lord made by fire, by a perpetual statute."
10 Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and this Israelite woman's son and a man of Israel fought each other in the camp.
11 And the Israelite woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord and cursed; and so they brought him to Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)
12 Then they put him in custody, that the mind of the Lord might be shown to them.
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
14 "Take outside the camp him who has cursed; then let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15 Then you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: 'Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
16 And whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him, the stranger as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall be put to death.
17 'Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death.
