< Leviticus 24 >

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 “Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil beaten from olives to be used in the lamp, that the light may burn continually.
“Command the sons of Israel, and they bring pure oil of beaten olive to you for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually;
3 Outside the curtain before the covenant decrees in the tent of meeting, Aaron must continually, from evening to morning, keep the lamp lit before Yahweh. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations.
Aaron arranges it at the outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, from evening until morning before YHWH continually—a continuous statute throughout your generations;
4 The high priest must always keep the lamps lit before Yahweh, the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold.
he arranges the lights on the pure lampstand before YHWH continually.
5 You must take fine flour and bake twelve loaves with it. There must be two-tenths of an ephah in each loaf.
And you have taken flour, and have baked twelve cakes with it, two-tenth parts are in one cake,
6 Then you must set them in two rows, six in a row, on the table of pure gold before Yahweh.
and you have set them [in] two rows (six in the row) on the pure table before YHWH,
7 You must put pure incense along each row of loaves as a representative offering. This incense will be burnt for Yahweh.
and you have put pure frankincense on the row, and it has been with the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to YHWH.
8 Every Sabbath day the high priest must regularly set out the bread before Yahweh on behalf of the people of Israel, as a sign of an everlasting covenant.
On each Sabbath day he arranges it before YHWH continually, from the sons of Israel—a perpetual covenant;
9 This offering will be for Aaron and his sons, and they are to eat it in a place that is holy, for it is a portion from the offerings to Yahweh made by fire.”
and it has been for Aaron and for his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of YHWH—a continuous statute.”
10 Now it happened that the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went among the people of Israel. This son of the Israelite woman fought against an Israelite man in the camp.
And a son of an Israeli woman goes out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man) in the midst of the sons of Israel, and the son of the Israeli woman and a man of Israel strive in the camp,
11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the name of Yahweh and cursed God, so the people brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.
and the son of the Israeli woman execrates the Name and reviles; and they bring him to Moses; and his mother’s name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;
12 They held him in custody until Yahweh himself should declare his will to them.
and he causes him to rest in confinement —to explain to them by the mouth of YHWH.
13 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
14 “Take the man who has cursed God outside the camp. All who heard him must lay their hands on his head, and then the entire assembly must stone him.
“Bring out the reviler to the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the congregation has stoned him.
15 You must explain to the people of Israel and say, 'Whoever curses his God must carry his own guilt.
And you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When any man reviles his God—then he has borne his sin;
16 He who blasphemes the name of Yahweh must surely be put to death. All the assembly must certainly stone him, whether he is a foreigner or a native-born Israelite. If anyone blasphemes the name of Yahweh, he must be put to death.
and he who is execrating the Name of YHWH is certainly put to death; all the congregation certainly casts stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, he is put to death.
17 If anyone strikes down another human being, he must certainly be put to death.
And when a man strikes any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
18 If anyone strikes down someone's animal, he must pay it back, life for life.
And he who strikes a beast repays it, body for body.
19 If anyone injures his neighbor, it must be done to him as he did to his neighbor:
And when a man puts a blemish in his fellow, as he has done so it is done to him;
20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has caused an injury to a person, so must it also be done to him.
breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he puts a blemish in a man so it is done in him.
21 Anyone who kills an animal must pay it back, and anyone who kills a person must be put to death.
And he who strikes a beast repays it, and he who strikes [the life of] man is put to death.
22 You must have the same law for both the foreigner and the native-born Israelite, for I am Yahweh your God.'”
One judgment is for you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] your God YHWH.”
23 So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and the people brought the man outside the camp, the one who had cursed Yahweh. They stoned him with stones. The people of Israel carried out the command of Yahweh to Moses.
And Moses speaks to the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler to the outside of the camp, and stone him [with] stone; and the sons of Israel have done as YHWH has commanded Moses.
