< Leviticus 24 >

1 And the Lord spak to Moises, and seide, Comaunde thou to the sones of Israel,
And Yahweh spake unto 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 sons of Israel, That they bring unto thee—pure oil olive, beaten, for giving light, —to cause the lamp to burn up 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;
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.
4 tho schulen be set euere on a clenneste candilstike in the siyt of the Lord.
Upon the pure lampstand, shall he order the lamps, —before Yahweh, 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,
And thou shalt take fine meal, and bake it, in twelve cakes, —of two-tenths, shall each cake be.
6 of whiche thou schalt sette sexe on euer eithir side, on a clenneste boord bifor the Lord;
And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, —upon the pure table, before Yahweh.
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 each row pure frankincense, —so shall it belong unto the bread as a memorial, an altar-flame unto Yahweh.
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;
Sabbath day by sabbath day, shall he order it before Yahweh continually, —from the sons of Israel as an age-abiding 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.
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.
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 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;
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 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;
12 and thei senten hym to prisoun, til thei wisten what the Lord comaundide.
and they put him in ward, —that a clear answer might be given to them at the mouth of Yahweh.
13 And the Lord spak to Moises and seide,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
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.
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.
15 And thou schalt speke to the sones of Israel, A man that cursith his God,
And, unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak saying, —What man soever 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 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.
17 He that smytith and sleeth a man, die bi deeth;
And, when, any man, by smiting taketh the life of any human being, he shall be surely put to death,
18 he that smytith a beeste, yelde oon in his stide, that is, lijf for lijf.
And he that by smiting taketh away the life of a beast, shall make it good, —life for life.
19 If a man yyueth a wem to ony of hise citeseyns, as he dide, so be it don to him;
And, when, any man, inflicteth a blemish upon his neighbour, 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.
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.
21 He that smytith werk beeste, yeelde another; he that smytith a man, schal be punyschid.
And he that killeth a beast, shall make it good, -and he that killeth a human being, shall be put to death.
22 Euene doom be among you, whether a pilgrym ethir a citeseyn synneth, for Y am youre Lord God.
One rule, shall ye have, as the sojourner, so the home-born, shall be, —For, I—Yahweh, am 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.
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.
