< Leviticus 24 >

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
"Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
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 of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before YHWH continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
4 He shall dresse the lampes vpon the pure Candlesticke before the Lord perpetually.
He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before YHWH continually.
5 Also thou shalt take fine floure, and bake twelue cakes thereof: two tenth deales shalbe in one cake.
"You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve loaves of it: two tenth parts of an ephah shall be in one loaf.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rowes, six in a rowe vpon the pure table before the Lord.
You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before YHWH.
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.
You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to YHWH.
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 he shall set it in order before YHWH continually. It is on the behalf of the children of Israel an everlasting covenant.
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.
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 YHWH made by fire by a perpetual statute."
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.
The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
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)
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought 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.
They put him in custody, until the will of YHWH should be declared to them.
13 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
"Bring out of the camp him who cursed; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15 And thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoeuer curseth his God, shall beare his sinne.
You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
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.
He who blasphemes the name of YHWH, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: the foreigner as well as the native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
17 He also that killeth any man, he shall be put to death.
"'He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it, beast for beast.
He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.
19 Also if a man cause any blemish in his neighbour: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him.
If anyone injures his neighbor; as he has done, so shall 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.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has injured someone, so shall 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 kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall 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 shall have one kind of law, for the foreigner as well as the native-born: for I am YHWH 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.
Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as YHWH commanded Moses.
