Leviticus 24
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel that they bring unto thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to light the lamp continually.
“Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil beaten from olives to be used in the lamp, that the light may burn continually.
3 Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron dress it from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your generations.
Outside the curtain before the covenant decrees in the tent of meeting, Aaron must continually, from evening to morning, keep the lamp lit before Yahweh. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations.
4 Upon the pure candlestick shall he arrange the lamps before Jehovah continually.
The high priest must always keep the lamps lit before Yahweh, the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold.
5 And thou shalt take fine wheaten flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof; each cake shall be of two tenths.
You must take fine flour and bake twelve loaves with it. There must be two-tenths of an ephah in each loaf.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah.
Then you must set them in two rows, six in a row, on the table of pure gold before Yahweh.
7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row; and it shall be a bread of remembrance, an offering by fire to Jehovah.
You must put pure incense along each row of loaves as a representative offering. This incense will be burnt for Yahweh.
8 Every sabbath day he shall arrange it before Jehovah continually, on the part of the children of Israel: [it is] an everlasting covenant.
Every Sabbath day the high priest must regularly set out the bread before Yahweh on behalf of the people of Israel, as a sign of an everlasting covenant.
9 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him of Jehovah's offerings by fire: [it is] an everlasting statute.
This offering will be for Aaron and his sons, and they are to eat it in a place that is holy, for it is a portion from the offerings to Yahweh made by fire.”
10 And the son of an Israelitish woman — but withal the son of an Egyptian, — went out among the children of Israel; and this son of the Israelitess and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
Now it happened that the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went among the people of Israel. This son of the Israelite woman fought against an Israelite man in the camp.
11 and the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. And his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the name of Yahweh and cursed God, so the people brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.
12 And they confined him, that they might decide at the mouth of Jehovah.
They held him in custody until Yahweh himself should declare his will to them.
13 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
14 Lead the reviler outside the camp; and all that heard [him] shall lay their hands upon his head, and the whole assembly shall stone him.
“Take the man who has cursed God outside the camp. All who heard him must lay their hands on his head, and then the entire assembly must stone him.
15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Every one when he revileth his God shall bear his sin.
You must explain to the people of Israel and say, 'Whoever curses his God must carry his own guilt.
16 And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah shall certainly be put to death; all the assembly shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger as he that is home-born, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death.
He who blasphemes the name of Yahweh must surely be put to death. All the assembly must certainly stone him, whether he is a foreigner or a native-born Israelite. If anyone blasphemes the name of Yahweh, he must be put to death.
17 And if any one smiteth any man mortally, he shall certainly be put to death.
If anyone strikes down another human being, he must certainly be put to death.
18 And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.
If anyone strikes down someone's animal, he must pay it back, life for life.
19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour, as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
If anyone injures his neighbor, it must be done to him as he did to his neighbor:
20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has caused an injury to a person, so must it also be done to him.
21 He that smiteth a beast [mortally] shall make it good; and he that smiteth a man [mortally] shall be put to death.
Anyone who kills an animal must pay it back, and anyone who kills a person must be put to death.
22 Ye shall have one law: as the stranger, so the home-born; for I am Jehovah your God.
You must have the same law for both the foreigner and the native-born Israelite, for I am Yahweh your God.'”
23 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they led the reviler outside the camp and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and the people brought the man outside the camp, the one who had cursed Yahweh. They stoned him with stones. The people of Israel carried out the command of Yahweh to Moses.
