< Leviticus 24 >

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
2 'Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
Command the sons of Israel, That they bring unto thee—pure oil olive, beaten, for giving light, —to cause the lamp to burn up continually.
3 Without the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron order it from evening to morning before the LORD continually; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.
Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron order it, from evening until morning, before Yahweh continually, —a statute age-abiding, to your generations.
4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.
Upon the pure lampstand, shall he order the lamps, —before Yahweh, continually.
5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts of an ephah shall be in one cake.
And thou shalt take fine meal, and bake it, in twelve cakes, —of two-tenths, shall each cake be.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.
And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, —upon the pure table, before Yahweh.
7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense with each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial-part, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
And thou shalt put upon each row pure frankincense, —so shall it belong unto the bread as a memorial, an altar-flame unto Yahweh.
8 Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually; it is from the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant.
Sabbath day by sabbath day, shall he order it before Yahweh continually, —from the sons of Israel as an age-abiding covenant:
9 And it shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, a perpetual due.'
so shall it be for Aaron and for his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, —for most holy, shall it be unto him from among the altar-flames of Yahweh, a statute age-abiding.
10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
And forth went the son of a woman of Israel—he being the son of a man of Egypt—in the midst of the sons of Israel;
11 And the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him unto Moses. And his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
and the son of the woman of Israel, and a man of Israel, reviled one another in the camp. And the son of the Israelitish woman uttered contemptuously the Name, and reviled. So they brought him in unto Moses, —now, the name of his mother, was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;
12 And they put him in ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of the LORD.
and they put him in ward, —that a clear answer might be given to them at the mouth of Yahweh.
13 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
14 'Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
Bring forth him that reviled unto the outside of the camp, then shall all that heard [him] lean their hands upon his head, —and all the assembly shall stone him.
15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying: Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
And, unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak saying, —What man soever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger, as the home-born, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death.
And, he that contemptuously uttereth the name of Yahweh, shall be, surely put to death, all the assembly shall, surely stone, him, —as the sojourner so the home-born, when he contemptuously uttereth the Name, he shall be put to death.
17 And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
And, when, any man, by smiting taketh the life of any human being, he shall be surely put to death,
18 And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good: life for life.
And he that by smiting taketh away the life of a beast, shall make it good, —life for life.
19 And if a man maim his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:
And, when, any man, inflicteth a blemish upon his neighbour, as he hath done, so, shall it be done to him:
20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath maimed a man, so shall it be rendered unto him.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, as he inflicteth a blemish upon a human being, so, shall one be inflicted upon him.
21 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; and he that killeth a man shall be put to death.
And he that killeth a beast, shall make it good, -and he that killeth a human being, shall be put to death.
22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for the home-born; for I am the LORD your God.'
One rule, shall ye have, as the sojourner, so the home-born, shall be, —For, I—Yahweh, am your God.
23 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
So then Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, and they took forth the reviler, unto the outside of the camp, and stoned him with stones. Thus, the sons of Israel did, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
