< Leviticus 24 >

1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 Command [the] people of Israel so they may bring to you oil of olive[s] pure pressed for the light to lift up a lamp continually.
“Command the Israeli people to continually bring to you clear oil made from pressed olives to burn in the lamps [in the Sacred Tent], in order that those lamps will burn all the time.
3 From [the] outside of [the] curtain of the testimony in [the] tent of meeting he will arrange it Aaron from evening until morning before Yahweh continually a statute of perpetuity to generations your.
Outside the curtain of the Very Holy Place, Aaron must take care of the lamps in my presence continually, in order that they will burn all during the night. That regulation must be obeyed forever.
4 On the lampstand pure he will arrange the lamps before Yahweh continually.
Those lampstands that burn in my presence must be taken care of continually.
5 And you will take fine flour and you will bake it two [plus] ten round perforated breads two tenths it will be the round perforated bread one.
“Also, [each week] you must take some fine flour and bake twelve [very big] loaves of bread, using about four quarts/liters of flour for each loaf.
6 And you will place them two rows six the row on the table pure before Yahweh.
Put the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row, on the table covered with pure gold, in my presence.
7 And you will put on the row frankincense pure and it will belong to the bread to a memorial offering a fire offering to Yahweh.
Along each row, place [in some gold cups] some pure incense to be burned to be an offering to me instead of the bread.
8 On [the] day of the sabbath on [the] day of the sabbath he will arrange it before Yahweh continually from with [the] people of Israel a covenant of perpetuity.
New/Fresh loaves of bread must be put [on the table] each Sabbath day, to signify the agreement that will never end, that I have made with you Israeli people.
9 And it will belong to Aaron and to sons his and they will eat it in a place holy for [is] a holy thing of holy things it for him from [the] fire offerings of Yahweh a prescribed portion of perpetuity.
The bread [that is taken off the table] belongs to Aaron and his sons. They must eat it in a holy place, because it is a very holy part of the offerings that are given to me by being burned.”
10 And he went out a son of a woman Israelite and he [was] a son of a man Egyptian in among [the] people of Israel and they struggled together in the camp [the] son of the Israelite [woman] and [the] man of the Israelite[s].
There was a man whose mother’s name was Shelomith; she was an Israeli whose father was Dibri from the tribe of Dan. And that man’s father was from Egypt. One day that man and another Israeli man started to fight inside the camp. And while they were fighting, that man cursed Yahweh [MTY].
11 And he slandered [the] son of the woman Israelite the name and he cursed and people brought him to Moses and [the] name of mother his [was] Shelomith [the] daughter of Dibri of [the] tribe of Dan.
12 And they placed him in custody to decide for themselves on [the] mouth of Yahweh.
So the Israeli people seized him and guarded him until they could find out what Yahweh would reveal to them [that they should do to that man].
13 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
14 Bring out the [one who] cursed to from [the] outside of the camp and they will lean all those [who] heard hands their on head his and they will stone him all the congregation.
“[Tie up and] take outside the camp the man who has cursed me. There all those who heard what he said must put their hands on his head [to indicate that he is guilty], and then all the people must [kill him by] throwing stones at him.
15 And to [the] people of Israel you will speak saying a person a person if he will curse God his and he will bear sin his.
Tell the Israelis, ‘If anyone curses me, he must (endure the consequences/be punished).
16 And [one who] slanders [the] name of Yahweh certainly he will be put to death certainly they will stone him all the congregation as the sojourner as the native-born when slanders he [the] name he will be put to death.
So anyone who curses me [MTY] must be executed. All the people must throw stones at him. It does not matter if he is a foreigner or an Israeli citizen; anyone who curses me must be executed.’
17 And anyone if he will strike down any life of humankind certainly he will be put to death.
“Also, If anyone murders another person, he must be executed.
18 And [one who] strikes down [the] life of an animal he will repay it a life for a life.
And anyone who kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed.
19 And anyone if he will make a blemish on fellow citizen his just as he has done so it will be done to him.
And if one person injures another person, the injured person is allowed to injure the person who injured him in the same way:
20 A fracture for a fracture an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth just as he will make a blemish on person so it will be made on him.
If someone breaks one of another person’s bones, that person is allowed to break one of the bones of the person who injured him. If someone gouges out an eye of another person, that person is allowed to gouge out the eye of the person who injured him. If someone knocks out the tooth of another person, that person is allowed to knock out one of his teeth. What is done to the offender must be the same as what he did to the other person.
21 And [one who] strikes down an animal he will repay it and [one who] strikes down a person he will be put to death.
Whoever kills [another person’s] animal must give that person a live animal to replace the one that he killed, but anyone who murders another person must be executed.
22 Judgment one it will belong to you as the sojourner as the native-born it will be for I [am] Yahweh God your.
That law applies to you Israelis and and also to the foreigners who live among you; I, Yahweh your God [am the one who has commanded it].”
23 And he spoke Moses to [the] people of Israel and they brought out the [one who] had cursed to from [the] outside of the camp and they stoned him stone[s] and [the] people of Israel they did just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.
Then Moses/I told the Israelis [what they must do to the man who cursed Yahweh], so they took the man outside the camp and [killed him by] throwing stones at him. They did what Yahweh commanded Moses/me [to tell them to do].
