Leviticus 24
1 The Lord told Moses,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Order the Israelites to bring you pure, pressed olive oil for the lamps, so they will always stay lit.
Charge the children of Israel, and let them take for you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to burn a lamp continually,
3 From evening until morning Aaron is to constantly look after the lamps continually before the Lord, outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
outside the veil in the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and his sons shall burn it from evening until morning before the Lord continually, a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
4 He is to constantly look after the lamps placed on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord.
You shall burn the lamps on the pure lamp-stand before the Lord till the morrow.
5 Using the best flour bake twelve loaves, with two-tenths of an ephah of flour per loaf.
And you shall take fine flour, and make of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be of two tenth parts.
6 Place them in two piles, six in each pile, on the table made of pure gold that stands before the Lord.
And you shall put them [in] two rows, each row [containing] six loaves, on the pure table before the Lord.
7 Place pure frankincense beside each pile to go with the bread to act as the ‘reminder part,’ a food offering to the Lord.
And you shall put on [each] row pure frankincense and salt; and [these things] shall be for loaves for a memorial, set forth before the Lord.
8 Every Sabbath day the bread shall be placed before the Lord, given by the Israelites as an ongoing sign of the eternal agreement.
On the sabbath-day they shall be set forth before the Lord continually before the children of Israel, for an everlasting covenant.
9 It is for Aaron and his descendants. They are to eat it in a holy place; for they must treat it as a most holy part of the food offerings given to the Lord. It is their share of the food offerings for all time.”
And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat them in the holy place: for this is their most holy portion of the offerings made to the Lord, a perpetual statute.
10 One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went into the Israelite camp and had a fight with an Israelite.
And there went forth a son of an Israelitish woman, and he was son of an Egyptian man amongst the sons of Israel; and they fought in the camp, the son of the Israelitish woman, and a man who was an Israelite.
11 The Israelite woman's son cursed the name of the Lord. So they took him before Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.)
And the son of the Israelitish woman named THE NAME and curse; and they brought him to Moses: and his mother's name was Salomith, daughter of Dabri of the tribe of Dan.
12 They detained him until it was clear what the Lord wanted them to do about it.
And they put him in ward, to judge him by the command of the Lord.
13 The Lord told Moses,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
14 “Take the man who cursed me outside the camp. Have all who heard him curse put their hands on his head; then have everyone stone him to death.
Bring forth him that cursed outside the camp, and all who heard shall lay their hands upon his head, and all the congregation shall stone him.
15 Tell the Israelites that anyone who curses their God will be punished for their sin.
And speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whosoever shall curse God shall bear his sin.
16 Anyone who curses the name of the Lord must to be executed. All of you must stone them to death, whether they are a foreigner who lives with you or an Israelite. If they curse my name, they must be executed.
And he that names the name of the Lord, let him die the death: let all the congregation of Israel stone him with stones; whether he be a stranger or a native, let him die for naming the name of the Lord.
17 Anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
And whoever shall strike a man and he die, let him die the death.
18 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it—a life for a life.
And whoever shall strike a beast, and it shall die, let him render life for life.
19 If anyone injures someone else, whatever they've done must be done to them:
And whoever shall inflict a blemish on his neighbour, as he has done to him, so shall it be done to himself in return;
20 a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever way they injured the victim, the same must be done to them.
bruise for bruise, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as any one may inflict a blemish on a man, so shall it be rendered to him.
21 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it, but anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
Whosoever shall strike a man, and he shall die, let him die the death.
22 The same laws apply to foreigners who live with you as to Israelites, for I am the Lord your God.”
There shall be one judgement for the stranger and the native, for I [am] the Lord your God.
23 Moses told this to the Israelites, and they took the man who cursed the Lord outside the camp and stoned him to death. The Israelites did what the Lord ordered Moses to do.
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and they brought him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones: and the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
