Leviticus 24
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
And Jehovah speaketh 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 sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure olive oil, beaten, for the lamp, to cause a light to go up 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.
at the outside of the vail of the testimony in the tent of meeting doth Aaron arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah continually — a statute age-during to your generations;
4 He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.
by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights 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 hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,
6 and set them in two rows—six per row—on the table of pure gold before the LORD.
and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on 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 hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering 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.
'On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel — a covenant age-during;
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 hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah — a statute age-during.'
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 a son of an Israelitish woman goeth out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man), in the midst of the sons of Israel, and strive in the camp do the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel,
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 execrateth the Name, and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his mother's name [is] Shelomith 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 he causeth him to rest in charge — to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.
13 Then the LORD said to Moses,
And Jehovah speaketh 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.
'Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned 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 sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God — then he hath borne 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 who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.
17 And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death.
'And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
18 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.
'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.
19 If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:
'And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he hath done so it is 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 putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him.
21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.
'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth [the life of] man is 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 judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; 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 speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones; and the sons of Israel have done as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
