Leviticus 24:11

¹¹יא ויקב בן האשה הישראלית את השם ויקלל ויביאו אתו אל משה ושם אמו שלמית בת דברי למטה דן

Leviticus 24 details the regulations for the Tabernacle's lamps and the Bread of the Presence, emphasizing the perpetual nature of Israel's worship and covenant obligations. The chapter then shifts abruptly to narrate a case of blasphemy and its severe punishment, establishing the principle of “an eye for an eye” (lex talionis) for various offenses. This juxtaposition underscores the holiness required in God's presence and the justice demanded within the community, highlighting the gravity of disrespecting God's name and harming fellow image-bearers.
