< Leviticus 24 >

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
And the LORD spoke unto 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;
'Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn 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 veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron order it from evening to morning before the LORD continually; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.
4 by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.
He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.
5 'And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,
And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts of an ephah shall be 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 rows, six in a row, upon 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.
And thou shalt put pure frankincense with each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial-part, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
8 'On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel — a covenant age-during;
Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually; it is from the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant.
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 it shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, a perpetual due.'
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 the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
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;
And the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him unto Moses. And his mother's name 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 ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of the LORD.
13 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
And the LORD spoke unto 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 forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon 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 speak unto the children of Israel, saying: Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
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, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger, as the home-born, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death.
17 'And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18 'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.
And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good: life for life.
19 'And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he hath done so it is done to him;
And if a man maim 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.
breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath maimed a man, so shall it be rendered unto 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 make it good; and he that killeth a man shall be put to death.
22 one judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] Jehovah your God.'
Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for the home-born; 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.
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
