Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
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
“Enjoin the children of Israel [God prevails], that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a menorah ·lamp· to burn continually.
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 of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, shall Aaron [Light-bringer] keep it in order from evening to morning before Adonai continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout all your generations.
4 They shall be placed upon the most pure candlestick in the sight of the Lord always.
He shall keep in order the menorah ·lamp· candles on the pure gold menorah ·lamp· before Adonai continually.
5 You shall also receive fine wheat flour, and you shall bake twelve loaves from it, each loaf of which shall have two-tenths.
“You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: one tenth of an ephah [two omers; 4.6 q; 4.4 L] shall be in one cake.
6 And you shall arrange them, six on each side, upon the most pure table before the Lord.
You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before Adonai.
7 And you shall place upon them the clearest frankincense, so that the bread may be a memorial of oblation for the Lord.
You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to Adonai.
8 On each Sabbath, they shall be changed before the Lord, having been received from the sons of Israel as an everlasting covenant.
Every Shabath ·Intermission· day he shall set it in order before Adonai continually. It is on the behalf of the children of Israel [God prevails] an everlasting covenant.
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.
It shall be for Aaron [Light-bringer] and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of Adonai made by fire by a perpetual statute.”
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.
The son of an Israelite [Descendant of God prevails] woman, whose father was an Egyptian [person from Abode of slavery], went out among the children of Israel [God prevails]; and the son of the Israelite [Descendant of God prevails] woman and a man of Israel [God prevails] strove together in the camp.
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.)
The son of the Israelite [Descendant of God prevails] woman blasphemed HaShem [The Name], and cursed; and they brought him to Moses [Drawn out]. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan [He judged].
12 And they sent him to prison, until they might know what the Lord would command,
They put him in custody, until Adonai’s will should be declared to them.
13 who spoke to Moses,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
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.
“Bring out of the camp him who cursed; and let all who sh'ma ·heard obeyed· him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15 And you shall say to the sons of Israel: The man who curses his God shall bear his sin,
You shall speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his crime deserving peanlty, sin ·missing the goal·.
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.
He who blasphemes Adonai’s name, he shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreigner as well as the native-born, when he blasphemes HaShem [The Name], shall be put to death.
17 Whoever will have struck and killed a man shall be put to death.
“‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18 Whoever will have struck down an animal shall repay its equivalent, that is, a life for a life.
He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for 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:
If anyone injures his neighbor; as he has done, so shall 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.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has injured someone, so shall it be done to him.
21 Whoever strikes down a beast, shall repay another. Whoever strikes a man shall be punished.
He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall 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 shall have one kind of judgment for the foreigner as well as the native-born; for I am Adonai 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.
Moses [Drawn out] spoke to the children of Israel [God prevails]; and they brought out him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel [God prevails] did as Adonai enjoined Moses [Drawn out].
