Leviticus 24
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
Command the children of Israel that they bring unto thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to light the lamp continually.
3 Outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps continually before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come.
Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron dress it from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your generations.
4 He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.
Upon the pure candlestick shall he arrange the lamps before Jehovah continually.
5 You are also to take fine flour and bake twelve loaves, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf,
And thou shalt take fine wheaten flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof; each cake shall be of two tenths.
6 and set them in two rows—six per row—on the table of pure gold before the LORD.
And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah.
7 And you are to place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row; and it shall be a bread of remembrance, an offering by fire to Jehovah.
8 Every Sabbath day the bread is to be set out before the LORD on behalf of the Israelites as a permanent covenant.
Every sabbath day he shall arrange it before Jehovah continually, on the part of the children of Israel: [it is] an everlasting covenant.
9 It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place; for it is to him a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the LORD—his portion forever.”
And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him of Jehovah's offerings by fire: [it is] an everlasting statute.
10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.
And the son of an Israelitish woman — but withal the son of an Egyptian, — went out among the children of Israel; and this son of the Israelitess and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse. So they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)
and the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. And his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12 They placed him in custody until the will of the LORD should be made clear to them.
And they confined him, that they might decide at the mouth of Jehovah.
13 Then the LORD said to Moses,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
Lead the reviler outside the camp; and all that heard [him] shall lay their hands upon his head, and the whole assembly shall stone him.
15 And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin.
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Every one when he revileth his God shall bear 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.
And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah shall certainly be put to death; all the assembly shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger as he that is home-born, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death.
17 And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death.
And if any one smiteth any man mortally, he shall certainly be put to death.
18 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.
And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.
19 If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:
And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour, as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him.
breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him.
21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.
He that smiteth a beast [mortally] shall make it good; and he that smiteth a man [mortally] shall be put to death.
22 You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am the LORD your God.’”
Ye shall have one law: as the stranger, so the home-born; for I am Jehovah your God.
23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they led the reviler outside the camp and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
