Leviticus 24:15

Israel

13 Then the LORD said to Moses,

14 “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.

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.

17 And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely 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.
