Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yahweh 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 people of Israel to bring you pure oil beaten from olives to be used in the lamp, that the light may burn 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 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 You shall burn the lamps on the pure lamp-stand before the Lord till the morrow.
The high priest must always keep the lamps lit before Yahweh, the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold.
5 And you shall take fine flour, and make of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be of two tenth parts.
You must take fine flour and bake twelve loaves with it. There must be two-tenths of an ephah in each loaf.
6 And you shall put them [in] two rows, each row [containing] six loaves, on 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 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.
You must put pure incense along each row of loaves as a representative offering. This incense will be burnt for Yahweh.
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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 ward, to judge him by the command of the Lord.
They held him in custody until Yahweh himself should declare his will to them.
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
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 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 speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whosoever shall curse God shall bear his sin.
You must explain to the people of Israel and say, 'Whoever curses his God must carry his own guilt.
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.
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 And whoever shall strike a man and he die, let him die the death.
If anyone strikes down another human being, he must certainly be put to death.
18 And whoever shall strike a beast, and it shall die, let him render life for life.
If anyone strikes down someone's animal, he must pay it back, 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, it must be done to him as he did to his neighbor:
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. As he has caused an injury to a person, so must it also be done to him.
21 Whosoever shall strike a man, and he shall die, let him die the death.
Anyone who kills an animal must pay it back, and anyone who kills a person 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 must have the same law for both the foreigner and the native-born Israelite, for I am Yahweh 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.
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.
