Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,
Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and dearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually,
3 Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations.
Without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall set them from evening until morning before the Lord, by a perpetual service and rite in your generations.
4 Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.
They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
5 And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.
Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf:
6 And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.
And thou shalt set them six and six one against another upon the most clean table before the Lord:
7 And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
And thou shalt put upon them the dearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of the Lord.
8 Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever.
Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord, being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant:
9 And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.
And they shall be Aaron’s and his sons’, that they may eat them in the holy place: because it is most holy of the sacrifices of the Lord by a perpetual right.
10 And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents;
And behold there went out the son of a woman of Israel, whom she had of an Egyptian, among the children of Israel, and fell at words in the camp with a man of Israel.
11 And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was brought to Moses: (now his mother was called Salumith, the daughter of Dabri, of the tribe of Dan: )
12 And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.
And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.
13 And the Lord said to Moses,
And the Lord spoke to Moses,
14 Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people.
Saying: Bring forth the blasphemer without the camp, and let them that heard him, put their hands upon his head, and let all the people stone him.
15 And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.
And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: the man that curseth his God, shall bear his sin:
16 And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death.
And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die: all the multitude shall stone him, whether he be a native or a stranger. He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die.
17 And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.
He that striketh and killeth a man, dying let him die.
18 And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.
He that killeth a beast, shall make it good, that is to say, shall give beast for beast.
19 And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;
He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:
20 Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him.
Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he restore. What blemish he gave, the like shall he be compelled to suffer.
21 He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.
He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished.
22 You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God.
Let there be equal judgment among you, whether he be a stranger, or a native that offends: because I am the Lord your God.
23 And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel: and they brought forth him that had blasphemed, without the camp, and they stoned him. And the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
