Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Charge the children of Israel, and let them take for you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to burn a lamp continually,
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,
3 outside the veil in the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and his sons shall burn it from evening until morning before the Lord continually, a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
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.
4 You shall burn the lamps on the pure lamp-stand before the Lord till the morrow.
Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.
5 And you shall take fine flour, and make of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be of two tenth parts.
And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.
6 And you shall put them [in] two rows, each row [containing] six loaves, on the pure table before the Lord.
And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.
7 And you shall put on [each] row pure frankincense and salt; and [these things] shall be for loaves for a memorial, set forth before the Lord.
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.
8 On the sabbath-day they shall be set forth before the Lord continually before the children of Israel, for an everlasting covenant.
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.
9 And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat them in the holy place: for this is their most holy portion of the offerings made to the Lord, a perpetual statute.
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.
10 And there went forth a son of an Israelitish woman, and he was son of an Egyptian man amongst the sons of Israel; and they fought in the camp, the son of the Israelitish woman, and a man who was an Israelite.
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;
11 And the son of the Israelitish woman named THE NAME and curse; and they brought him to Moses: and his mother's name was Salomith, daughter of Dabri of the tribe of Dan.
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.
12 And they put him in ward, to judge him by the command of the Lord.
And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord said to Moses,
14 Bring forth him that cursed outside the camp, and all who heard shall lay their hands upon his head, and all the congregation shall stone him.
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.
15 And speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whosoever shall curse God shall bear his sin.
And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.
16 And he that names the name of the Lord, let him die the death: let all the congregation of Israel stone him with stones; whether he be a stranger or a native, let him die for naming the name of the Lord.
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.
17 And whoever shall strike a man and he die, let him die the death.
And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.
18 And whoever shall strike a beast, and it shall die, let him render life for life.
And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.
19 And whoever shall inflict a blemish on his neighbour, as he has done to him, so shall it be done to himself in return;
And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;
20 bruise for bruise, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as any one may inflict a blemish on a man, so shall it be rendered to him.
Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him.
21 Whosoever shall strike a man, and he shall die, let him die the death.
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.
22 There shall be one judgement for the stranger and the native, for I [am] the Lord your God.
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.
23 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and they brought him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones: and the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
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.
