Leviticus 24

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Charge the children of Israel, and let them take for you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to burn a lamp continually,

Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may bring to you clear oil from the purest olives, in order to supply the lamps continuously

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 tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall place these, from evening until morning, before the Lord, as a perpetual worship and ritual in your generations.

4 You shall burn the lamps on the pure lamp-stand before the Lord till the morrow.

They shall be placed upon the most pure candlestick in the sight of the Lord always.

5 And you shall take fine flour, and make of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be of two tenth parts.

You shall also receive fine wheat flour, and you shall bake twelve loaves from it, each loaf of which shall have two-tenths.

6 And you shall put them [in] two rows, each row [containing] six loaves, on the pure table before the Lord.

And you shall arrange them, six on each side, upon the most pure table 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 shall place upon them the clearest frankincense, so that the bread may be a memorial of oblation for 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.

On each Sabbath, they shall be changed before the Lord, having been received from the sons of Israel as an everlasting 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.

And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, so that they may eat these in the holy place; for it is the Holy of holies from the sacrifices of the Lord, as a perpetual right.

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.

Then, behold, the son of an Israelite woman, whom she had born of an Egyptian man among the sons of Israel, going out, was quarreling in the camp with a man of Israel.

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.

And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was led to Moses. (Now his mother was called Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri from the tribe of Dan.)

12 And they put him in ward, to judge him by the command of the Lord.

And they sent him to prison, until they might know what the Lord would command,

13 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

who spoke 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.

saying: Lead away the blasphemer beyond the camp, and let all who heard him place their hands upon his head, and let the entire people 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 shall say to the sons of Israel: The man who curses his God shall bear 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.

and whoever will have blasphemed the name of the Lord shall be put to death. The entire multitude shall overwhelm him with stones, whether he be a citizen or a sojourner. Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death.

17 And whoever shall strike a man and he die, let him die the death.

Whoever will have struck and killed a man shall be put to death.

18 And whoever shall strike a beast, and it shall die, let him render life for life.

Whoever will have struck down an animal shall repay its equivalent, that is, a life for a 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;

Whoever will have inflicted a blemish on any of his citizens, just as he has done, so shall it 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, shall he repay. Whatever degree of blemish he has inflicted, so shall he be compelled to suffer.

21 Whosoever shall strike a man, and he shall die, let him die the death.

Whoever strikes down a beast, shall repay another. Whoever strikes a man shall be punished.

22 There shall be one judgment for the stranger and the native, for I [am] the Lord your God.

Let there be equal judgment among you, whether it is a sojourner or a citizen who will have sinned. 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.

And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel. And they led away him who had blasphemed, beyond the camp, and they overwhelmed him with stones. And the sons of Israel did just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
