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,
Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and dearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps 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.
Without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall set them from evening until morning before the Lord, by a perpetual service and rite in your generations.
4 You shall burn the lamps on the pure lamp-stand before the Lord till the morrow.
They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick 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.
Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf:
6 And you shall put them [in] two rows, each row [containing] six loaves, on the pure table before the Lord.
And thou shalt set them six and six one against another upon the most clean 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 thou shalt put upon them the dearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of 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 they shall be changed before the Lord, being received of the children of Israel by 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 Aaron’s and his sons’, that they may eat them in the holy place: because it is most holy of the sacrifices of the Lord by 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.
And behold there went out the son of a woman of Israel, whom she had of an Egyptian, among the children of Israel, and fell at words 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 brought to Moses: (now his mother was called Salumith, the daughter of Dabri, of the tribe of Dan: )
12 And they put him in ward, to judge him by the command of the Lord.
And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord 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: Bring forth the blasphemer without the camp, and let them that heard him, put their hands upon his head, and let all the 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 thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: the man that curseth 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 he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die: all the multitude shall stone him, whether he be a native or a stranger. He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die.
17 And whoever shall strike a man and he die, let him die the death.
He that striketh and killeth a man, dying let him die.
18 And whoever shall strike a beast, and it shall die, let him render life for life.
He that killeth a beast, shall make it good, that is to say, shall give beast for beast.
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;
He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath 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.
Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he restore. What blemish he gave, the like shall he be compelled to suffer.
21 Whosoever shall strike a man, and he shall die, let him die the death.
He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh 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 he be a stranger, or a native that offends: because 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 children of Israel: and they brought forth him that had blasphemed, without the camp, and they stoned him. And the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
