< Leviticus 24 >

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Command the sons of Israel, and they bring pure oil of beaten olive to you for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually;
“Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
3 Aaron arranges it at the outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, from evening until morning before YHWH continually—a continuous statute throughout your generations;
Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
4 he arranges the lights on the pure lampstand before YHWH continually.
He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lamp stand before the LORD continually.
5 And you have taken flour, and have baked twelve cakes with it, two-tenth parts are in one cake,
“You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenths of an ephah shall be in one cake.
6 and you have set them [in] two rows (six in the row) on the pure table before YHWH,
You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD.
7 and you have put pure frankincense on the row, and it has been with the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to YHWH.
You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to the LORD.
8 On each Sabbath day he arranges it before YHWH continually, from the sons of Israel—a perpetual covenant;
Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually. It is an everlasting covenant on the behalf of the children of Israel.
9 and it has been for Aaron and for his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of YHWH—a continuous statute.”
It shall be for Aaron and his sons. They shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.”
10 And a son of an Israeli woman goes out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man) in the midst of the sons of Israel, and the son of the Israeli woman and a man of Israel strive in the camp,
The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
11 and the son of the Israeli woman execrates the Name and reviles; and they bring him to Moses; and his mother’s name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12 and he causes him to rest in confinement —to explain to them by the mouth of YHWH.
They put him in custody until the LORD’s will should be declared to them.
13 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
14 “Bring out the reviler to the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the congregation has stoned him.
“Bring him who cursed out of the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15 And you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When any man reviles his God—then he has borne his sin;
You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
16 and he who is execrating the Name of YHWH is certainly put to death; all the congregation certainly casts stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, he is put to death.
He who blasphemes the LORD’s name, he shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreigner as well as the native-born shall be put to death when he blasphemes the Name.
17 And when a man strikes any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
“‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18 And he who strikes a beast repays it, body for body.
He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.
19 And when a man puts a blemish in his fellow, as he has done so it is done to him;
If anyone injures his neighbor, it shall be done to him as he has done:
20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he puts a blemish in a man so it is done in him.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. It shall be done to him as he has injured someone.
21 And he who strikes a beast repays it, and he who strikes [the life of] man is put to death.
He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
22 One judgment is for you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] your God YHWH.”
You shall have one kind of law for the foreigner as well as the native-born; for I am the LORD your God.’”
23 And Moses speaks to the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler to the outside of the camp, and stone him [with] stone; and the sons of Israel have done as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
