Punishment for Blasphemy

10 Now an Israelite woman’s son, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the people of Israel. And the Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought in the camp, 11 and the Israelite woman’s son ⁱblasphemed the ^jName, and cursed. Then they ^kbrought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

4 Now the ^zrabble that was among them had a strong craving. And the people of Israel also ^awept again and said, ^b“Oh that we had meat to eat!

3 As soon as the people heard the law, ^tthey separated from Israel all ^uthose of foreign descent.
