Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
AND the Lord spake unto 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 children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps 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.
Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the Lord continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.
4 They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
5 Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf:
And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals 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 shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the Lord.
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 shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
8 Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord, being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant:
Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by 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 Aaron’s and his sons’; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord 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 Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish 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 Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto 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 the mind of the Lord might be shewed them.
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
And the Lord spake unto 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 that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that 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 shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth 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 that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.
17 He that striketh and killeth a man, dying let him die.
And he that killeth any man 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 that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
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 cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath 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.
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 again.
21 He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished.
And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he 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 well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the Lord 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 spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
