< 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 beaten olive-oil, for the lighting, to cause the 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 vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron put it in order [for] from evening unto morning before the Lord continually; as a statute for ever in your generations.
4 by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.
Upon the pure candlestick shall be put in order the lamps, 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 thereof twelve cakes: of two tenth parts shall each one cake be.
6 and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,
And thou shalt place 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 upon each row pure frankincense, that it may be unto the bread for a memorial, as a fire-offering unto the Lord.
8 'On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel — a covenant age-during;
On every and each sabbath day shall he place it in order before the Lord continually, [obtained] from the children of Israel as 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 belong to Aaron and to his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him, from the fire-offerings of the Lord, as a perpetual fixed portion.
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 forth a son of an Israelitish woman, but who was the son of an Egyptian man, among the children of Israel; and there quarrelled together in the camp this son of the Israelitish woman and an Israelitish man.
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 pronounced the [holy] Name, and blasphemed; 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 placed him in ward, until the decision of the Lord could be explained to them.
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.
Lead forth the blasphemer to without the camp; and all that have heard him shall lay their hands upon his head; and all the congregation shall 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 unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, Whatsoever man that blasphemeth 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.
But he that pronounced the name of the Lord [with blasphemy] shall be put to death, all the congregation shall stone him; be he a stranger, or be he one that is born in the land, when he pronounceth the [holy] Name [with blasphemy, ] he shall be put to death.
17 'And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
And he that taketh the life of any man shall surely be put to death.
18 'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.
And he that taketh the life of a beast shall make it good: beast for beast.
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 cause a bodily defect in his neighbor, as he hath done, so shall 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: in the manner as he hath caused a bodily defect in a man, so shall it be done 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 make restitution for it; 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.'
One manner of judicial law shall ye have, the stranger shall be equal with one of your own country; 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 led forth the blasphemer to without the camp, and they stoned him with stones; and the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
