The Penalty for Blasphemy

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 ablasphemed the name of the Lord and bcursed; and so they cbrought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)  
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.

Leviticus 24:12

The offender may already have been pronounced guilty by the rulers (see Exodus 18:21-22), and the case was referred to Moses in order that the punishment might be awarded by the divine decree. No law had as yet been enacted against blasphemy except by implication. See Exodus 21:17; Exodus 22:28.
