Di son of di Israel woman blaspheme di Name with curse, and dem carry am come Moses. Im mama na Shelomith, di pikin-woman of Dibri, from di tribe of Dan. Dem lock am up until our Papa make im will clear to dem. Den our Papa talk to Moses say:

Make all di people wey hear am put dia hand for im head, den make di whole congregation stone am. b b v14 Di witnesses put dia hand for di head of di person wey blaspheme, so dat dem go transfer back di guilt of hearing di curse. Tell di Israel people: Anybody wey curse our Papa go carry im own sin. Anybody wey blaspheme my name must die—di whole community must stone am. Foreigner and person wey dem born for di land, na di same: anybody wey blaspheme di Name must die.

"Anybody wey kill any person, dem must kill am too. Anybody wey kill animal must pay back for am, life for life. If anybody injure im neighbor, dem must do di same thing to am: Broken bone for broken bone, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as person injure anoda person, na so dem go do am. Anybody wey kill animal go pay for am; anybody wey kill person, dem go kill am. Di same law dey for di foreigner and for di person wey dem born for di land, di same, because na me be una Papa."
