Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 Charge the children of Israel, and let them take for you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to burn a lamp continually,
“Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
3 outside the veil in the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and his sons shall burn it from evening until morning before the Lord continually, a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
Outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps continually before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come.
4 You shall burn the lamps on the pure lamp-stand before the Lord till the morrow.
He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.
5 And you shall take fine flour, and make of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be of two tenth parts.
You are also to take fine flour and bake twelve loaves, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf,
6 And you shall put them [in] two rows, each row [containing] six loaves, on the pure table before the Lord.
and set them in two rows—six per row—on the table of pure gold before the LORD.
7 And you shall put on [each] row pure frankincense and salt; and [these things] shall be for loaves for a memorial, set forth before the Lord.
And you are to place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
8 On the sabbath-day they shall be set forth before the Lord continually before the children of Israel, for an everlasting covenant.
Every Sabbath day the bread is to be set out before the LORD on behalf of the Israelites as a permanent covenant.
9 And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat them in the holy place: for this is their most holy portion of the offerings made to the Lord, a perpetual statute.
It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place; for it is to him a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the LORD—his portion forever.”
10 And there went forth a son of an Israelitish woman, and he was son of an Egyptian man among the sons of Israel; and they fought in the camp, the son of the Israelitish woman, and a man who was an Israelite.
Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.
11 And the son of the Israelitish woman named THE NAME and curse; and they brought him to Moses: and his mother's name was Salomith, daughter of Dabri of the tribe of Dan.
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse. So they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)
12 And they put him in ward, to judge him by the command of the Lord.
They placed him in custody until the will of the LORD should be made clear to them.
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
14 Bring forth him that cursed outside the camp, and all who heard shall lay their hands upon his head, and all the congregation shall stone him.
“Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone him.
15 And speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whosoever shall curse God shall bear his sin.
And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin.
16 And he that names the name of the Lord, let him die the death: let all the congregation of Israel stone him with stones; whether he be a stranger or a native, let him die for naming the name of the Lord.
Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must surely be put to death; the whole assembly must surely stone him, whether he is a foreign resident or native; if he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.
17 And whoever shall strike a man and he die, let him die the death.
And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death.
18 And whoever shall strike a beast, and it shall die, let him render life for life.
Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.
19 And whoever shall inflict a blemish on his neighbor, as he has done to him, so shall it be done to himself in return;
If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:
20 bruise for bruise, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as any one may inflict a blemish on a man, so shall it be rendered to him.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him.
21 Whosoever shall strike a man, and he shall die, let him die the death.
Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.
22 There shall be one judgment for the stranger and the native, for I [am] the Lord your God.
You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am the LORD your God.’”
23 And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and they brought him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones: and the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
