12 and he causeth him to rest in charge to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.
13 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
14 'Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him.
15 'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God then he hath borne his sin;
