Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may bring to you clear oil from the purest olives, in order to supply the lamps continuously
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 of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall place these, from evening until morning, before the Lord, as a perpetual worship and ritual in 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 They shall be placed upon the most pure candlestick in the sight of the Lord always.
Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.
5 You shall also receive fine wheat flour, and you shall bake twelve loaves from it, each loaf of which shall have two-tenths.
And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.
6 And you shall arrange them, six on each side, upon the most 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 place upon them the clearest frankincense, so that the bread may be a memorial of oblation for 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 each Sabbath, they shall be changed before the Lord, having been received from the sons of Israel as 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, so that they may eat these in the holy place; for it is the Holy of holies from the sacrifices of the Lord, as a perpetual right.
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 Then, behold, the son of an Israelite woman, whom she had born of an Egyptian man among the sons of Israel, going out, was quarreling in the camp with a man of Israel.
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 when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was led to Moses. (Now his mother was called Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri from 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 sent him to prison, until they might know what the Lord would command,
And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.
13 who spoke to Moses,
And the Lord said to Moses,
14 saying: Lead away the blasphemer beyond the camp, and let all who heard him place their hands upon his head, and let the entire people 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 you shall say to the sons of Israel: The man who curses his 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 whoever will have blasphemed the name of the Lord shall be put to death. The entire multitude shall overwhelm him with stones, whether he be a citizen or a sojourner. Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death.
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 Whoever will have struck and killed a man shall be put to death.
And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.
18 Whoever will have struck down an animal shall repay its equivalent, that is, a life for a life.
And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.
19 Whoever will have inflicted a blemish on any of his citizens, just as he has done, so shall it be done to him:
And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;
20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he repay. Whatever degree of blemish he has inflicted, so shall he be compelled to suffer.
Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him.
21 Whoever strikes down a beast, shall repay another. Whoever strikes a man shall be punished.
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 Let there be equal judgment among you, whether it is a sojourner or a citizen who will have sinned. 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 sons of Israel. And they led away him who had blasphemed, beyond the camp, and they overwhelmed him with stones. And the sons of Israel did just as the Lord had instructed 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.
