< 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 to you pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn 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 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 Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.
He shall order the lamps on the 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.
And you shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.
6 And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.
And you shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure 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 you shall put pure frankincense on 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 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 he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from 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 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 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 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 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 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 And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.
And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be showed them.
13 And the Lord said to Moses,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
Bring forth him that has cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15 And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.
And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, Whoever curses 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 blasphemes 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 blasphemes the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.
17 And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.
And he that kills any man shall surely be put to death.
18 And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.
And he that kills a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
19 And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;
And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he has 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: as he has caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
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.
And he that kills a beast, he shall restore it: and he that kills a man, he shall be put to death.
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.
You 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 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, 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.
