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;

Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and dearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps 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;

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 he arranges the lights on the pure lampstand before YHWH continually.

They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.

5 And you have taken flour, and have baked twelve cakes with it, two-tenth parts are in one cake,

Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf:

6 and you have set them [in] two rows (six in the row) on the pure table before YHWH,

And thou shalt set them six and six one against another upon the most clean 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 thou shalt put upon them the dearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of the Lord.

8 On each Sabbath day he arranges it before YHWH continually, from the sons of Israel—a perpetual covenant;

Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord, being received of the children of Israel by 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 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 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,

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 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 brought to Moses: (now his mother was called Salumith, the daughter of Dabri, of the tribe of Dan: )

12 and he causes him to rest in confinement —to explain to them by the mouth of YHWH.

And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.

13 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

And the Lord 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: 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 you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When any man reviles his God—then he has borne his sin;

And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: the man that curseth 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 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 when a man strikes any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.

He that striketh and killeth a man, dying let him die.

18 And he who strikes a beast repays it, body for body.

He that killeth a beast, shall make it good, that is to say, shall give beast for beast.

19 And when a man puts a blemish in his fellow, as he has done so it is done to him;

He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath 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.

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 And he who strikes a beast repays it, and he who strikes [the life of] man is put to death.

He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh 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 he be a stranger, or a native that offends: because 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 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.
