BRAGADAYJAH 358

BRAGADAYJAH 358

The Lord also mandated penalties for blasphemy.  So we have, for example, the case of the Israelitish woman whose father was an Egyptian; and her son went out and strove, within the camp, with a man who was an Israelite. And this son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed against the name of the Lord by cursing.  And he was brought before Moses.  This young man’s mother’s name was Shelomith, and she was the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan.
The young man, the blasphemer was cast into prison, because Moses wanted to hear from the Lord concerning the matter.  And the Lord spoke unto Moses and said, “Bring forth the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let the congregation stone him.”
“And speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, whosoever curses his God shall bear his sin. And he who blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death. And all the congregation shall surely stone him as well as the sojourner as he who is born in the land. Anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death.”
