10 Lo! forsothe the sone of a womman of Israel, whom sche childide of a man Egipcian, yede out among the sones of Israel, and chidde in the castels with a man of Israel,
The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out amongst the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
11 and whanne he hadde blasfemyd the name of the Lord, and hadde cursid the Lord, he was brouyt to Moises; forsothe his modir was clepid Salumyth, the douytir of Dabry, of the lynage of Dan;
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12 and thei senten hym to prisoun, til thei wisten what the Lord comaundide.
They put him in custody until the LORD’s will should be declared to them.
13 And the Lord spak to Moises and seide,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
14 Lede out the blasfemere without the castels, and alle men that herden, sette her hondis on his heed, and al the puple stone hym.
“Bring him who cursed out of the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15 And thou schalt speke to the sones of Israel, A man that cursith his God,
You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
16 schal bere his synne, and he that blasfemeth the name of the Lord, die bi deeth; al the multitude of the puple schal oppresse hym with stoonus, whether he that blasfemede the name of the Lord is a citeseyn, whether a pilgrym, die he bi deeth.
He who blasphemes the LORD’s name, he shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreigner as well as the native-born shall be put to death when he blasphemes the Name.
17 He that smytith and sleeth a man, die bi deeth;
“‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18 he that smytith a beeste, yelde oon in his stide, that is, lijf for lijf.
He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.
19 If a man yyueth a wem to ony of hise citeseyns, as he dide, so be it don to him;
If anyone injures his neighbour, it shall be done to him as he has done:
20 he schal restore brekyng for brekyng, iye for iye, tooth for tooth; what maner wem he yaf, he schal be compellid to suffre sich a wem.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. It shall be done to him as he has injured someone.
21 He that smytith werk beeste, yeelde another; he that smytith a man, schal be punyschid.
He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
22 Euene doom be among you, whether a pilgrym ethir a citeseyn synneth, for Y am youre Lord God.
You shall have one kind of law for the foreigner as well as the native-born; for I am the LORD your God.’”

Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
