Leviticus 24
1 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 "Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,
3 Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before YHWH continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations.
4 He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before YHWH continually.
Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.
5 "You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve loaves of it: two tenth parts of an ephah shall be in one loaf.
And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.
6 You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before YHWH.
And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.
7 You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to YHWH.
And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord.
8 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before YHWH continually. It is on the behalf of the children of Israel an everlasting covenant.
Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever.
9 It shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of YHWH made by fire by a perpetual statute."
And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.
10 The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents;
11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12 They put him in custody, until the will of YHWH should be declared to them.
And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.
13 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord said to Moses,
14 "Bring out of the camp him who cursed; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people.
15 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.
16 He who blasphemes the name of YHWH, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: the foreigner as well as the native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death.
17 "'He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.
18 He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.
And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.
19 If anyone injures his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him:
And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;
20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has injured someone, so shall it be done to him.
Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him.
21 He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.
22 You shall have one kind of law, for the foreigner as well as the native-born: for I am YHWH your God.'"
You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God.
23 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as YHWH commanded Moses.
And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
