Leviticus 24
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,
Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and dearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually,
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;
Without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall set them from evening until morning before the Lord, by a perpetual service and rite in your generations.
4 tho schulen be set euere on a clenneste candilstike in the siyt of the Lord.
They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
5 Also thou schalt take wheete flour, and thou schalt bake therof twelue looues, which schulen haue ech bi hem silf twei tenthe partis,
Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf:
6 of whiche thou schalt sette sexe on euer eithir side, on a clenneste boord bifor the Lord;
And thou shalt set them six and six one against another upon the most clean 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 thou shalt put upon them the dearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of 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;
Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord, being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant:
9 and tho schulen be Aarons and hise sones, that thei ete tho in the hooli place, for it is hooli of the noumbre of hooli thingis, of the sacrifices of the Lord, bi euerlastynge lawe.
And they shall be Aaron’s and his sons’, that they may eat them in the holy place: because it is most holy of the sacrifices of the Lord by 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,
And behold there went out the son of a woman of Israel, whom she had of an Egyptian, among the children of Israel, and fell at words 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 brought to Moses: (now his mother was called Salumith, the daughter of Dabri, of the tribe of Dan: )
12 and thei senten hym to prisoun, til thei wisten what the Lord comaundide.
And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.
13 And the Lord spak to Moises and seide,
And the Lord 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: Bring forth the blasphemer without the camp, and let them that heard him, put their hands upon his head, and let all the people stone him.
15 And thou schalt speke to the sones of Israel, A man that cursith his God,
And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: the man that curseth 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 he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die: all the multitude shall stone him, whether he be a native or a stranger. He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die.
17 He that smytith and sleeth a man, die bi deeth;
He that striketh and killeth a man, dying let him die.
18 he that smytith a beeste, yelde oon in his stide, that is, lijf for lijf.
He that killeth a beast, shall make it good, that is to say, shall give beast for beast.
19 If a man yyueth a wem to ony of hise citeseyns, as he dide, so be it don to him;
He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath 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.
Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he restore. What blemish he gave, the like shall he be compelled to suffer.
21 He that smytith werk beeste, yeelde another; he that smytith a man, schal be punyschid.
He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh 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 he be a stranger, or a native that offends: because 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 children of Israel: and they brought forth him that had blasphemed, without the camp, and they stoned him. And the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
