< 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 to you pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps 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;
Without the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening to the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.
4 he arranges the lights on the pure lampstand before YHWH continually.
He shall order the lamps on the 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,
And you shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.
6 and you have set them [in] two rows (six in the row) on the pure table before YHWH,
And you shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the 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 put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be on 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 he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from 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 it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; and they shall eat it in the 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,
And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish 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;
And the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him to Moses: (and 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.
And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be showed them.
13 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
And 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 forth him that has cursed without the camp; and let all that 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;
And 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.
And he that blasphemes the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he 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.
And he that kills any man shall surely be put to death.
18 And he who strikes a beast repays it, body for body.
And he that kills a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
19 And when a man puts a blemish in his fellow, as he has done so it is done to him;
And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; 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.
Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he has caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
21 And he who strikes a beast repays it, and he who strikes [the life of] man is put to death.
And he that kills a beast, he shall restore it: and he that kills a man, he 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 manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: 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 children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
