Leviticus 24
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
The LORD spoke to 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 to you 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;
Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
4 by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.
He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lamp stand 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,
“You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenths of an efah shall be in one cake.
6 and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,
You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold 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.
You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even 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;
Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually. It is an everlasting covenant on the behalf of the children of Israel.
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.'
It shall be for Aaron and his sons. They shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.”
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,
The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite 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;
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. 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.
They put him in custody until the LORD’s will should be declared to them.
13 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
The LORD spoke to 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 him who cursed out of the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands on 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;
You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses 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.
He who blasphemes the LORD’s name, he shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreigner as well as the native-born shall be put to death when he blasphemes the Name.
17 'And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
“‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18 'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.
He who strikes an animal 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;
If anyone injures his neighbor, it shall be done to him as he has done:
20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. It shall be done to him as he has injured someone.
21 'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth [the life of] man is put to death;
He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills 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.'
You shall have one kind of law for the foreigner as well as the native-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.
Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
