< Leviticus 24 >

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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.
'Command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure olive oil, beaten, for the lamp, to cause a light to go up 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.
at the outside of the vail of the testimony in the tent of meeting doth Aaron arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah continually — a statute age-during to your generations;
4 Upon the pure lampstand, shall he order the lamps, —before Yahweh, continually.
by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.
5 And thou shalt take fine meal, and bake it, in twelve cakes, —of two-tenths, shall each cake be.
'And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,
6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, —upon the pure table, before Yahweh.
and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,
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 thou hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah.
8 Sabbath day by sabbath day, shall he order it before Yahweh continually, —from the sons of Israel as an age-abiding covenant:
'On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel — a covenant age-during;
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 it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah — a statute age-during.'
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 a son of an Israelitish woman goeth out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man), in the midst of the sons of Israel, and strive in the camp do the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel,
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 execrateth the Name, and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his mother's name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, 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 he causeth him to rest in charge — to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.
13 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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 out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him.
15 And, unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak saying, —What man soever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God — then he hath borne 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 who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.
17 And, when, any man, by smiting taketh the life of any human being, he shall be surely put to death,
'And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
18 And he that by smiting taketh away the life of a beast, shall make it good, —life for life.
'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.
19 And, when, any man, inflicteth a blemish upon his neighbour, as he hath done, so, shall it be done to him:
'And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he hath done so it is done to him;
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.
breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him.
21 And he that killeth a beast, shall make it good, -and he that killeth a human being, shall be put to death.
'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth [the life of] man is put to death;
22 One rule, shall ye have, as the sojourner, so the home-born, shall be, —For, I—Yahweh, am your God.
one judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] Jehovah 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 speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones; and the sons of Israel have done as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
