< Leviticus 24 >
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
And the LORD spake 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 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;
Without the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron order it from evening to morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.
4 he arranges the lights on the pure lampstand before YHWH continually.
He shall order the lamps upon 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 thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts [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,
And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on 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 pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto 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 on the behalf of the children of Israel, 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 for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy unto 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 the 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 son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed: 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 put him in ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of the LORD.
13 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
And the LORD spake 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.
Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon 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 thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever 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, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as the homeborn, when he blasphemeth 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 smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death;
18 And he who strikes a beast repays it, body for body.
and he that smiteth a beast 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;
And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; 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: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto 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 it good: 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.”
Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for the homeborn: 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 spake to the children of Israel, and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
