Leviticus 24:14

12 Then they ^aput him in custody, ^bthat 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 ^alay 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 ^ashall bear his sin.

16 And whoever ^ablasphemes 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 ^a‘Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death.

18 ^aWhoever kills an animal shall make it good, animal for animal.

Leviticus 24:14

Lay their hands upon his head - It was by this ceremony that the people who heard him curse bore their public testimony in order to his being fully convicted, for without this his punishment would not have been lawful. By this ceremony also they in effect said to the man, Thy blood be upon thy own head.
