Leviticus 24:14

¹² They placed him in custody until the will of the LORD should be made clear to them.

¹³ Then the LORD said to Moses,

“Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone him.

¹⁵ And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin.

¹⁶ Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must surely be put to death; the whole assembly must surely stone him, whether he is a foreign resident or native; if he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
