SCRIPTURE

"And Moses spake to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses." — Leviticus 24:23 (ASV)

And Moses spoke to the children of Israel
As the Lord had commanded him:

that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and
stone him with stones ;
which were the instructions God had given to Moses upon inquiring his mind and will about this matter:

and the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses ;
they took the blasphemer, and led him out of the camp, put their hands on him, and stoned him with stones till he died.
