Leviticus 24
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
And the Lord spoke unto 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 lighting, to cause the lamp to burn 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.
Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron put it in order [for] from evening unto morning before the Lord continually; as a statute for ever in your generations.
4 He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.
Upon the pure candlestick shall be put in order the lamps, before the Lord, 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 flour, and bake thereof twelve cakes: of two tenth parts shall each one cake be.
6 and set them in two rows—six per row—on the table of pure gold before the LORD.
And thou shalt place them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before the Lord.
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 upon each row pure frankincense, that it may be unto the bread for a memorial, as a fire-offering unto the Lord.
8 Every Sabbath day the bread is to be set out before the LORD on behalf of the Israelites as a permanent covenant.
On every and each sabbath day shall he place it in order before the Lord continually, [obtained] from the children of Israel as 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 belong to Aaron and to his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him, from the fire-offerings of the Lord, as a perpetual fixed portion.
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 there went forth a son of an Israelitish woman, but who was the son of an Egyptian man, among the children of Israel; and there quarrelled together in the camp this son of the Israelitish woman and an Israelitish man.
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 son of the Israelitish woman pronounced the [holy] Name, and blasphemed; and they brought him unto 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 placed him in ward, until the decision of the Lord could be explained to them.
13 Then the LORD said to Moses,
And the Lord spoke unto 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 forth the blasphemer to without the camp; and all that have heard him shall lay their hands upon his head; and all the congregation 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 unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, Whatsoever man that blasphemeth 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.
But he that pronounced the name of the Lord [with blasphemy] shall be put to death, all the congregation shall stone him; be he a stranger, or be he one that is born in the land, when he pronounceth the [holy] Name [with blasphemy, ] he shall be put to death.
17 And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death.
And he that taketh the life of any man shall surely be put to death.
18 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.
And he that taketh the life of a beast shall make it good: beast for beast.
19 If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:
And if a man cause a bodily defect in his neighbor, as he hath done, so shall 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: in the manner as he hath caused a bodily defect 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.
And he that killeth a beast, shall make restitution for it; and he that killeth a man, 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.’”
One manner of judicial law shall ye have, the stranger shall be equal with one of your own country; for I am the Lord 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 forth the blasphemer to without the camp, and they stoned him with stones; and the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
