Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Yahweh 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 people of Israel to bring you pure oil beaten from olives to be used in the lamp, that the light may 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 the curtain before the covenant decrees in the tent of meeting, Aaron must continually, from evening to morning, keep the lamp lit before Yahweh. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations.
4 He shall dresse the lampes vpon the pure Candlesticke before the Lord perpetually.
The high priest must always keep the lamps lit before Yahweh, the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold.
5 Also thou shalt take fine floure, and bake twelue cakes thereof: two tenth deales shalbe in one cake.
You must take fine flour and bake twelve loaves with it. There must be two-tenths of an ephah in each loaf.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rowes, six in a rowe vpon the pure table before the Lord.
Then you must set them in two rows, six in a row, on the table of pure gold before Yahweh.
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 must put pure incense along each row of loaves as a representative offering. This incense will be burnt for Yahweh.
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 the high priest must regularly set out the bread before Yahweh on behalf of the people of Israel, as a sign of 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.
This offering will be for Aaron and his sons, and they are to eat it in a place that is holy, for it is a portion from the offerings to Yahweh made by fire.”
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.
Now it happened that the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went among the people of Israel. This son of the Israelite woman fought against an Israelite man 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 of Yahweh and cursed God, so the people brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.
12 And they put him in warde, till he tolde them the minde of the Lord.
They held him in custody until Yahweh himself should declare his will to them.
13 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Then Yahweh 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.
“Take the man who has cursed God outside the camp. All who heard him must lay their hands on his head, and then the entire assembly must stone him.
15 And thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoeuer curseth his God, shall beare his sinne.
You must explain to the people of Israel and say, 'Whoever curses his God must carry his own guilt.
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 Yahweh must surely be put to death. All the assembly must certainly stone him, whether he is a foreigner or a native-born Israelite. If anyone blasphemes the name of Yahweh, he must be put to death.
17 He also that killeth any man, he shall be put to death.
If anyone strikes down another human being, he must certainly be put to death.
18 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it, beast for beast.
If anyone strikes down someone's animal, he must pay it back, 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, it must be done to him as he did to his neighbor:
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 caused an injury to a person, so must it also be done to him.
21 And he that killeth a beast shall restore it: but he that killeth a man shall be slaine.
Anyone who kills an animal must pay it back, and anyone who kills a person must 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 must have the same law for both the foreigner and the native-born Israelite, for I am Yahweh 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.
So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and the people brought the man outside the camp, the one who had cursed Yahweh. They stoned him with stones. The people of Israel carried out the command of Yahweh to Moses.
