What does Leviticus 24:16 mean?

Anyone who insults the Lord's name must be put to death. The whole community is responsible for carrying it out, whether the person is a foreigner or an Israelite. If someone speaks against God's name, they must die. Leviticus 24:16 - Modern Text Bible

(The law is the same for everyone, no matter their background. Blasphemy is treated as a capital crime.)
