Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 Commande the children of Israel that they bring vnto thee pure oyle oliue beaten, for the light, to cause ye lampes to burne continually.
Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,
3 Without the vaile of the Testimonie, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, shall Aaron dresse them, both euen and morning before the Lord alwayes: this shalbe a lawe for euer through your generations.
Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations.
4 He shall dresse the lampes vpon the pure Candlesticke before the Lord perpetually.
Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.
5 Also thou shalt take fine floure, and bake twelue cakes thereof: two tenth deales shalbe in one cake.
And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rowes, six in a rowe vpon the pure table before the Lord.
And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.
7 Thou shalt also put pure incense vpon the rowes, that in steade of the bread it may bee for a remembrance, and an offering made by fire to the Lord.
And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
8 Euery Sabbath hee shall put them in rowes before the Lord euermore, receiuing them of the children of Israel for an euerlasting couenant.
Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever.
9 And the bread shalbe Aarons and his sonnes, and they shall eate it in the holie place: for it is most holie vnto him of the offrings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetuall ordinance.
And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.
10 And there went out among the children of Israel the sonne of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian: and this sonne of the Israelitish woman, and a man of Israel stroue together in the hoste.
And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents;
11 So the Israelitish womans sonne blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed, and they brought him vnto Moses (his mothers name also was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan)
And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12 And they put him in warde, till he tolde them the minde of the Lord.
And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.
13 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
And the Lord said to Moses,
14 Bring the blasphemer without the hoste, and let all that heard him, put their handes vpon his head, and let all the Congregation stone him.
Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people.
15 And thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoeuer curseth his God, shall beare his sinne.
And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.
16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shalbe put to death: all the Congregation shall stone him to death: aswell the stranger, as he that is borne in the lande: when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, let him beslaine.
And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death.
17 He also that killeth any man, he shall be put to death.
And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.
18 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it, beast for beast.
And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.
19 Also if a man cause any blemish in his neighbour: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him.
And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;
20 Breache for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: such a blemish as he hath made in any, such shalbe repayed to him.
Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him.
21 And he that killeth a beast shall restore it: but he that killeth a man shall be slaine.
He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.
22 Ye shall haue one lawe: it shalbe aswel for the stranger as for one borne in the countrey: for I am the Lord your God.
You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God.
23 Then Moses tolde the children of Israel, and they brought the blasphemer out of the hoste, and stoned him with stones: so the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
