< Leviticus 24 >
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke unto 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 pure beaten olive-oil, for the lighting, to cause the 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;
Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron put it in order [for] from evening unto morning before the Lord continually; as a statute for ever in your generations.
4 he arranges the lights on the pure lampstand before YHWH continually.
Upon the pure candlestick shall be put in order the lamps, 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 thou shalt take fine flour, and bake thereof twelve cakes: of two tenth parts shall each one cake be.
6 and you have set them [in] two rows (six in the row) on the pure table before YHWH,
And thou shalt place them in two rows, six in a row, upon 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 thou shalt put upon each row pure frankincense, that it may be unto the bread for a memorial, as a fire-offering unto the Lord.
8 On each Sabbath day he arranges it before YHWH continually, from the sons of Israel—a perpetual covenant;
On every and each sabbath day shall he place it in order before the Lord continually, [obtained] from the children 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 it shall belong to Aaron and to his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him, from the fire-offerings of the Lord, as a perpetual fixed portion.
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 there went forth a son of an Israelitish woman, but who was the son of an Egyptian man, among the children of Israel; and there quarrelled together in the camp this son of the Israelitish woman and an Israelitish man.
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 son of the Israelitish woman pronounced the [holy] Name, and blasphemed; and they brought him unto 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 placed him in ward, until the decision of the Lord could be explained to them.
13 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke unto 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.
Lead forth the blasphemer to without the camp; and all that have heard him shall lay their hands upon his head; and all the congregation shall 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 unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, Whatsoever man that blasphemeth 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.
But he that pronounced the name of the Lord [with blasphemy] shall be put to death, all the congregation shall stone him; be he a stranger, or be he one that is born in the land, when he pronounceth the [holy] Name [with blasphemy, ] he shall be put to death.
17 And when a man strikes any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
And he that taketh the life of any man shall surely be put to death.
18 And he who strikes a beast repays it, body for body.
And he that taketh the life of 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 bodily defect in his neighbor, as he hath done, so shall 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: in the manner as he hath caused a bodily defect in a man, so shall it be done to him.
21 And he who strikes a beast repays it, and he who strikes [the life of] man is put to death.
And he that killeth a beast, shall make restitution for it; and he that killeth 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.”
One manner of judicial law shall ye have, the stranger shall be equal with 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; and they led forth the blasphemer to without the camp, and they stoned him with stones; and the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
