1 And the Lord spak to Moises, and seide, Comaunde thou to the sones of Israel,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 that thei brynge to thee oile of olyues, pureste oile, and briyt, to the lanternes to be ordeyned contynueli with out the veil of witnessyng,
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 in the tabernacle of boond of pees; and Aaron schal araye tho lanternes fro euentid `til to euentid bifor the Lord, bi religioun and custom euerlastynge in youre generaciouns;
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 tho schulen be set euere on a clenneste candilstike in the siyt of the Lord.
They shall be placed upon the most pure candlestick in the sight of the Lord always.
5 Also thou schalt take wheete flour, and thou schalt bake therof twelue looues, which schulen haue ech bi hem silf twei tenthe partis,
You shall also receive fine wheat flour, and you shall bake twelve loaves from it, each loaf of which shall have two-tenths.
6 of whiche thou schalt sette sexe on euer eithir side, on a clenneste boord bifor the Lord;
And you shall arrange them, six on each side, upon the most pure table before the Lord.
7 and thou schalt sette clereste encense on tho looues, that the looues be in to mynde of offryng of 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 bi ech sabat tho schulen be chaungid bifor the Lord, and schulen be takun of the sones of Israel bi euerlastynge boond of pees;
On each Sabbath, they shall be changed before the Lord, having been received from the sons of Israel as an everlasting covenant.

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 Lo! forsothe the sone of a womman of Israel, whom sche childide of a man Egipcian, yede out among the sones of Israel, and chidde in the castels with a man of Israel,
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 whanne he hadde blasfemyd the name of the Lord, and hadde cursid the Lord, he was brouyt to Moises; forsothe his modir was clepid Salumyth, the douytir of Dabry, of the lynage 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 thei senten hym to prisoun, til thei wisten what the Lord comaundide.
And they sent him to prison, until they might know what the Lord would command,
13 And the Lord spak to Moises and seide,
who spoke to Moses,
14 Lede out the blasfemere without the castels, and alle men that herden, sette her hondis on his heed, and al the puple stone hym.
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 schalt speke to the sones of Israel, A man that cursith his God,
And you shall say to the sons of Israel: The man who curses his God shall bear his sin,
16 schal bere his synne, and he that blasfemeth the name of the Lord, die bi deeth; al the multitude of the puple schal oppresse hym with stoonus, whether he that blasfemede the name of the Lord is a citeseyn, whether a pilgrym, die he bi deeth.
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 He that smytith and sleeth a man, die bi deeth;
Whoever will have struck and killed a man shall be put to death.
18 he that smytith a beeste, yelde oon in his stide, that is, lijf for lijf.
Whoever will have struck down an animal shall repay its equivalent, that is, a life for a life.
19 If a man yyueth a wem to ony of hise citeseyns, as he dide, so be it don 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 he schal restore brekyng for brekyng, iye for iye, tooth for tooth; what maner wem he yaf, he schal be compellid to suffre sich a wem.
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 He that smytith werk beeste, yeelde another; he that smytith a man, schal be punyschid.
Whoever strikes down a beast, shall repay another. Whoever strikes a man shall be punished.
22 Euene doom be among you, whether a pilgrym ethir a citeseyn synneth, for Y am youre Lord 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 Moyses spak to the sones of Israel, and thei brouyten forth out of the castels hym that blasfemede, and oppressiden with stoonus. And the sones of Israel diden, as the Lord comaundide to Moyses.
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.
