Leviticus 24

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.

Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may bring to you clear oil from the purest olives, in order to supply the lamps continuously

3 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.

outside the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall place these, from evening until morning, before the Lord, as a perpetual worship and ritual in your generations.

4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.

They shall be placed upon the most pure candlestick in the sight of the Lord always.

5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts [of an ephah] shall be in one cake.

You shall also receive fine wheat flour, and you shall bake twelve loaves from it, each loaf of which shall have two-tenths.

6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.

And you shall arrange them, six on each side, upon the most pure table before the Lord.

7 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.

And you shall place upon them the clearest frankincense, so that the bread may be a memorial of oblation for the Lord.

8 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.

On each Sabbath, they shall be changed before the Lord, having been received from the sons of Israel as an everlasting covenant.

9 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.

And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, so that they may eat these in the holy place; for it is the Holy of holies from the sacrifices of the Lord, as a perpetual right.

10 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;

Then, behold, the son of an Israelite woman, whom she had born of an Egyptian man among the sons of Israel, going out, was quarreling in the camp with a man of Israel.

11 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.

And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was led to Moses. (Now his mother was called Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri from the tribe of Dan.)

12 And they put him in ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of the LORD.

And they sent him to prison, until they might know what the Lord would command,

13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

who spoke to Moses,

14 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.

saying: Lead away the blasphemer beyond the camp, and let all who heard him place their hands upon his head, and let the entire people stone him.

15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

And you shall say to the sons of Israel: The man who curses his God shall bear his sin,

16 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.

and whoever will have blasphemed the name of the Lord shall be put to death. The entire multitude shall overwhelm him with stones, whether he be a citizen or a sojourner. Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death.

17 And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death;

Whoever will have struck and killed a man shall be put to death.

18 and he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good: life for life.

Whoever will have struck down an animal shall repay its equivalent, that is, a life for a life.

19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;

Whoever will have inflicted a blemish on any of his citizens, just as he has done, so shall it be done to him:

20 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.

fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he repay. Whatever degree of blemish he has inflicted, so shall he be compelled to suffer.

21 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: and he that killeth a man shall be put to death.

Whoever strikes down a beast, shall repay another. Whoever strikes a man shall be punished.

22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for the homeborn: for I am the LORD your God.

Let there be equal judgment among you, whether it is a sojourner or a citizen who will have sinned. For I am the Lord your God.

23 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.

And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel. And they led away him who had blasphemed, beyond the camp, and they overwhelmed him with stones. And the sons of Israel did just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
