Leviticus 24
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
And 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;
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 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 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 he arranges the lights on the pure lampstand before YHWH continually.
They shall be placed upon the most pure candlestick in the sight of the Lord always.
5 And you have taken flour, and have baked twelve cakes with it, two-tenth parts are in one cake,
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 have set them [in] two rows (six in the row) on the pure table before YHWH,
And you shall arrange them, six on each side, upon the most pure 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.
And you shall place upon them the clearest frankincense, so that the bread may be a memorial of oblation for the Lord.
8 On each Sabbath day he arranges it before YHWH continually, from the sons of Israel—a perpetual 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 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.”
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 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,
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 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;
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 he causes him to rest in confinement —to explain to them by the mouth of YHWH.
And they sent him to prison, until they might know what the Lord would command,
13 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
who spoke to Moses,
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.
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 you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When any man reviles his God—then he has borne his sin;
And you shall say to the sons of Israel: The man who 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.
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 when a man strikes any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
Whoever will have struck and killed a man shall be put to death.
18 And he who strikes a beast repays it, body for body.
Whoever will have struck down an animal shall repay its equivalent, that is, a life for a life.
19 And when a man puts a blemish in his fellow, as he has done so it is done to him;
Whoever will have inflicted a blemish on any of his citizens, just as he has done, so shall it be done to him:
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, shall he repay. Whatever degree of blemish he has inflicted, so shall he be compelled to suffer.
21 And he who strikes a beast repays it, and he who strikes [the life of] man is put to death.
Whoever strikes down a beast, shall repay another. Whoever strikes a man shall be punished.
22 One judgment is for you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] your God YHWH.”
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 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.
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.
