< Leviticus 24 >
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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 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 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.
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 Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.
by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.
5 And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.
'And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,
6 And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.
and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,
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 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 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.
'On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel — a covenant age-during;
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 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 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 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 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 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 And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.
and he causeth him to rest in charge — to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.
13 And the Lord said to Moses,
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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 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 say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.
'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God — then he hath borne 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 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 anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.
'And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly 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 who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.
19 And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it 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 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 putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him.
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 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 law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; 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 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 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.
