Leviticus 24
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
And the LORD 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 to thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause the lamps 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.
Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening to the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.
4 He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.
Ye shall order the lamps upon the pure lampstand 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 twelve cakes of it: two tenth parts shall be in one cake.
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 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 pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to 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.
Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by 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 the holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual 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, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman 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 of the LORD, 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 put him in custody, that the mind of the LORD might be shown to them.
13 Then the LORD said to Moses,
And the LORD 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.
Bring forth him that hath cursed outside the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation 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 to the children of Israel, saying, Whoever curseth 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 the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, 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 killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
18 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.
And he that killeth 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 shall 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.
And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he 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 manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for 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, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
