Leviticus 24
1 The Lord told Moses,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 “Order the Israelites to bring you pure, pressed olive oil for the lamps, so they will always stay lit.
“Command the sons of Israel, and they bring pure oil of beaten olive to you for the lamp, to cause a light to go up 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.
Aaron arranges it at the outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, from evening until morning before YHWH continually—a continuous statute throughout your generations;
4 He is to constantly look after the lamps placed on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord.
he arranges the lights on the pure lampstand before YHWH continually.
5 Using the best flour bake twelve loaves, with two-tenths of an ephah of flour per loaf.
And you have taken flour, and have baked twelve cakes with it, two-tenth parts are in one cake,
6 Place them in two piles, six in each pile, on the table made of pure gold that stands before the Lord.
and you have set them [in] two rows (six in the row) on the pure table before YHWH,
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 have put pure frankincense on the row, and it has been with the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to YHWH.
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 each Sabbath day he arranges it before YHWH continually, from the sons of Israel—a perpetual 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 it has been for Aaron and for his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of YHWH—a continuous 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 a son of an Israeli woman goes out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man) in the midst of the sons of Israel, and the son of the Israeli woman and a man of Israel strive in the camp,
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 Israeli woman execrates the Name and reviles; and they bring him to Moses; and his mother’s name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;
12 They detained him until it was clear what the Lord wanted them to do about it.
and he causes him to rest in confinement —to explain to them by the mouth of YHWH.
13 The Lord told Moses,
And YHWH speaks 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 out the reviler to the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the congregation has stoned him.
15 Tell the Israelites that anyone who curses their God will be punished for their sin.
And you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When any man reviles his God—then he has borne 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 who is execrating the Name of YHWH is certainly put to death; all the congregation certainly casts stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, he is put to death.
17 Anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
And when a man strikes any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
18 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it—a life for a life.
And he who strikes a beast repays it, body for body.
19 If anyone injures someone else, whatever they've done must be done to them:
And when a man puts a blemish in his fellow, as he has done so it is done to him;
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.
breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he puts a blemish in a man so it is done in him.
21 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it, but anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
And he who strikes a beast repays it, and he who strikes [the life of] man is put to death.
22 The same laws apply to foreigners who live with you as to Israelites, for I am the Lord your God.”
One judgment is for you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] your God YHWH.”
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 speaks to the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler to the outside of the camp, and stone him [with] stone; and the sons of Israel have done as YHWH has commanded Moses.
