< Leviticus 24 >

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 'Command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure olive oil, beaten, for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually;
Commande the children of Israel that they bring vnto thee pure oyle oliue beaten, for the light, to cause ye lampes to burne continually.
3 at the outside of the vail of the testimony in the tent of meeting doth Aaron arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah continually — a statute age-during to your generations;
Without the vaile of the Testimonie, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, shall Aaron dresse them, both euen and morning before the Lord alwayes: this shalbe a lawe for euer through your generations.
4 by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.
He shall dresse the lampes vpon the pure Candlesticke before the Lord perpetually.
5 'And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,
Also thou shalt take fine floure, and bake twelue cakes thereof: two tenth deales shalbe in one cake.
6 and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,
And thou shalt set them in two rowes, six in a rowe vpon the pure table before the Lord.
7 and thou hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah.
Thou shalt also put pure incense vpon the rowes, that in steade of the bread it may bee for a remembrance, and an offering made by fire to the Lord.
8 'On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel — a covenant age-during;
Euery Sabbath hee shall put them in rowes before the Lord euermore, receiuing them of the children of Israel for an euerlasting couenant.
9 and it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah — a statute age-during.'
And the bread shalbe Aarons and his sonnes, and they shall eate it in the holie place: for it is most holie vnto him of the offrings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetuall ordinance.
10 And a son of an Israelitish woman goeth out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man), in the midst of the sons of Israel, and strive in the camp do the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel,
And there went out among the children of Israel the sonne of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian: and this sonne of the Israelitish woman, and a man of Israel stroue together in the hoste.
11 and the son of the Israelitish woman execrateth the Name, and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his mother's name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;
So the Israelitish womans sonne blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed, and they brought him vnto Moses (his mothers name also was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan)
12 and he causeth him to rest in charge — to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.
And they put him in warde, till he tolde them the minde of the Lord.
13 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
14 'Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him.
Bring the blasphemer without the hoste, and let all that heard him, put their handes vpon his head, and let all the Congregation stone him.
15 'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God — then he hath borne his sin;
And thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoeuer curseth his God, shall beare his sinne.
16 and he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.
And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shalbe put to death: all the Congregation shall stone him to death: aswell the stranger, as he that is borne in the lande: when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, let him beslaine.
17 'And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
He also that killeth any man, he shall be put to death.
18 'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.
And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it, beast for beast.
19 'And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he hath done so it is done to him;
Also if a man cause any blemish in his neighbour: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him.
20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him.
Breache for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: such a blemish as he hath made in any, such shalbe repayed to him.
21 'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth [the life of] man is put to death;
And he that killeth a beast shall restore it: but he that killeth a man shall be slaine.
22 one judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] Jehovah your God.'
Ye shall haue one lawe: it shalbe aswel for the stranger as for one borne in the countrey: for I am the Lord your God.
23 And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones; and the sons of Israel have done as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Then Moses tolde the children of Israel, and they brought the blasphemer out of the hoste, and stoned him with stones: so the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
