< Leviticus 24 >

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Command the sons of Israel, That they bring unto thee—pure oil olive, beaten, for giving light, —to cause the lamp to burn up continually.
Charge the children of Israel, and let them take for you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to burn a lamp continually,
3 Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron order it, from evening until morning, before Yahweh continually, —a statute age-abiding, to your generations.
outside the veil in the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and his sons shall burn it from evening until morning before the Lord continually, a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
4 Upon the pure lampstand, shall he order the lamps, —before Yahweh, continually.
You shall burn the lamps on the pure lamp-stand before the Lord till the morrow.
5 And thou shalt take fine meal, and bake it, in twelve cakes, —of two-tenths, shall each cake be.
And you shall take fine flour, and make of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be of two tenth parts.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, —upon the pure table, before Yahweh.
And you shall put them [in] two rows, each row [containing] six loaves, on the pure table before the Lord.
7 And thou shalt put upon each row pure frankincense, —so shall it belong unto the bread as a memorial, an altar-flame unto Yahweh.
And you shall put on [each] row pure frankincense and salt; and [these things] shall be for loaves for a memorial, set forth before the Lord.
8 Sabbath day by sabbath day, shall he order it before Yahweh continually, —from the sons of Israel as an age-abiding covenant:
On the sabbath-day they shall be set forth before the Lord continually before the children of Israel, for an everlasting covenant.
9 so shall it be for Aaron and for his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, —for most holy, shall it be unto him from among the altar-flames of Yahweh, a statute age-abiding.
And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat them in the holy place: for this is their most holy portion of the offerings made to the Lord, a perpetual statute.
10 And forth went the son of a woman of Israel—he being the son of a man of Egypt—in the midst of the sons of Israel;
And there went forth a son of an Israelitish woman, and he was son of an Egyptian man among the sons of Israel; and they fought in the camp, the son of the Israelitish woman, and a man who was an Israelite.
11 and the son of the woman of Israel, and a man of Israel, reviled one another in the camp. And the son of the Israelitish woman uttered contemptuously the Name, and reviled. So they brought him in unto Moses, —now, the name of his mother, was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;
And the son of the Israelitish woman named THE NAME and curse; and they brought him to Moses: and his mother's name was Salomith, daughter of Dabri of the tribe of Dan.
12 and they put him in ward, —that a clear answer might be given to them at the mouth of Yahweh.
And they put him in ward, to judge him by the command of the Lord.
13 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
14 Bring forth him that reviled unto the outside of the camp, then shall all that heard [him] lean their hands upon his head, —and all the assembly shall stone him.
Bring forth him that cursed outside the camp, and all who heard shall lay their hands upon his head, and all the congregation shall stone him.
15 And, unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak saying, —What man soever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
And speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whosoever shall curse God shall bear his sin.
16 And, he that contemptuously uttereth the name of Yahweh, shall be, surely put to death, all the assembly shall, surely stone, him, —as the sojourner so the home-born, when he contemptuously uttereth the Name, he shall be put to death.
And he that names the name of the Lord, let him die the death: let all the congregation of Israel stone him with stones; whether he be a stranger or a native, let him die for naming the name of the Lord.
17 And, when, any man, by smiting taketh the life of any human being, he shall be surely put to death,
And whoever shall strike a man and he die, let him die the death.
18 And he that by smiting taketh away the life of a beast, shall make it good, —life for life.
And whoever shall strike a beast, and it shall die, let him render life for life.
19 And, when, any man, inflicteth a blemish upon his neighbour, as he hath done, so, shall it be done to him:
And whoever shall inflict a blemish on his neighbor, as he has done to him, so shall it be done to himself in return;
20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, as he inflicteth a blemish upon a human being, so, shall one be inflicted upon him.
bruise for bruise, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as any one may inflict a blemish on a man, so shall it be rendered to him.
21 And he that killeth a beast, shall make it good, -and he that killeth a human being, shall be put to death.
Whosoever shall strike a man, and he shall die, let him die the death.
22 One rule, shall ye have, as the sojourner, so the home-born, shall be, —For, I—Yahweh, am your God.
There shall be one judgment for the stranger and the native, for I [am] the Lord your God.
23 So then Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, and they took forth the reviler, unto the outside of the camp, and stoned him with stones. Thus, the sons of Israel did, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and they brought him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones: and the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
