24:10-16
10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
There was a fight between an Israelite man and a man whose mother was an Israelite but whose father was an Egyptian.
11 And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)
12 And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.
During the fight, the son of the Egyptian man cursed and blasphemed the name of the Lord.
So they brought him to Moses to find out what to do about it.
13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
14 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
God said to Moses,
Bring the man who cursed and let all the congregation stone him.

Say this to the Israelites:Whoever curses me will bear his sin.

If a man causes a blemish in his neighbor, the same blemish will be made on him.

Does God approve of capital punishment?
What the Bible says about blasphemy, stoning, and capital punishment
I don't know what this means.
How do you "make it good, beast for beast"?
Does it mean that if you kill someone's animal, one of your animals must be killed?
Or that you must replace the animal that was killed?
Should you punish people with an eye for eye and a tooth for a tooth?
Blasphemer Stoned
