Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and dearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually,
Command the sons of Israel, that they bring to thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
3 Without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall set them from evening until morning before the Lord, by a perpetual service and rite in your generations.
Aaron shall keep it outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, in order from evening to morning before Jehovah continually. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
4 They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
He shall keep the lamps upon the pure lampstand in order before Jehovah continually.
5 Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf:
And thou shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it. Two tenth parts of an ephah shall be in one cake.
6 And thou shalt set them six and six one against another upon the most clean table before the Lord:
And thou shall set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah.
7 And thou shalt put upon them the dearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of the Lord.
And thou shall put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to Jehovah.
8 Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord, being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant:
Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before Jehovah continually. It is on the behalf of the sons of Israel, an everlasting covenant.
9 And they shall be Aaron’s and his sons’, that they may eat them in the holy place: because it is most holy of the sacrifices of the Lord by a perpetual right.
And it shall be for Aaron and his sons. And they shall eat it in a holy place, for it is most holy to him of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire by a perpetual statute.
10 And behold there went out the son of a woman of Israel, whom she had of an Egyptian, among the children of Israel, and fell at words in the camp with a man of Israel.
And the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel. And the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp,
11 And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was brought to Moses: (now his mother was called Salumith, the daughter of Dabri, of the tribe of Dan: )
and the son of the Israelite woman 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.
12 And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.
And they put him in ward, that it might be declared to them at the mouth of Jehovah.
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
14 Saying: Bring forth the blasphemer without the camp, and let them that heard him, put their hands upon his head, and let all the people stone him.
Bring forth him who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: the man that curseth his God, shall bear his sin:
And thou shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die: all the multitude shall stone him, whether he be a native or a stranger. He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die.
And he who blasphemes the name of Jehovah, he shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him. As well the sojourner, as the home-born, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
17 He that striketh and killeth a man, dying let him die.
And he who smites any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18 He that killeth a beast, shall make it good, that is to say, shall give beast for beast.
And he who smites a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.
19 He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:
And if a man causes a blemish in his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him:
20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he restore. What blemish he gave, the like shall he be compelled to suffer.
injury for injury, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, as he has caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered to him.
21 He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished.
And he who kills a beast shall make it good. And he who kills a man shall be put to death.
22 Let there be equal judgment among you, whether he be a stranger, or a native that offends: because I am the Lord your God.
Ye shall have one manner of law, as for the sojourner, as for the home-born, for I am Jehovah your God.
23 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel: and they brought forth him that had blasphemed, without the camp, and they stoned him. And the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought forth him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the sons of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses.
