< Leviticus 24 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Charge the children of Israel, and let them take for you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to burn a lamp 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 outside the veil in the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and his sons shall burn it from evening until morning before the Lord continually, a perpetual statute throughout 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 You shall burn the lamps on the pure lamp-stand before the Lord till the morrow.
He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lamp stand before the LORD continually.
5 And you shall take fine flour, and make of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be of two tenth parts.
“You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenths of an efah shall be in one cake.
6 And you shall put them [in] two rows, each row [containing] six loaves, on the pure table before the Lord.
You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD.
7 And you shall put on [each] row pure frankincense and salt; and [these things] shall be for loaves for a memorial, set forth before the Lord.
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 the sabbath-day they shall be set forth before the Lord continually before the children of Israel, for an everlasting covenant.
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 they shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat them in the holy place: for this is their most holy portion of the offerings made to the Lord, a perpetual statute.
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 there went forth a son of an Israelitish woman, and he was son of an Egyptian man amongst the sons of Israel; and they fought in the camp, the son of the Israelitish woman, and a man who was an Israelite.
The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out amongst 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 named THE NAME and curse; and they brought him to Moses: and his mother's name was Salomith, daughter of Dabri 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 they put him in ward, to judge him by the command of the Lord.
They put him in custody until the LORD’s will should be declared to them.
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
14 Bring forth him that cursed outside the camp, and all who heard shall lay their hands upon his head, and all the congregation shall stone 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 speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whosoever shall curse God shall bear his sin.
You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
16 And he that names the name of the Lord, let him die the death: let all the congregation of Israel stone him with stones; whether he be a stranger or a native, let him die for naming the name of the Lord.
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 whoever shall strike a man and he die, let him die the death.
“‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18 And whoever shall strike a beast, and it shall die, let him render life for life.
He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.
19 And whoever shall inflict a blemish on his neighbour, as he has done to him, so shall it be done to himself in return;
If anyone injures his neighbour, it shall be done to him as he has done:
20 bruise for bruise, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as any one may inflict a blemish on a man, so shall it be rendered to him.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. It shall be done to him as he has injured someone.
21 Whosoever shall strike a man, and he shall die, let him die the death.
He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
22 There shall be one judgement for the stranger and the native, for I [am] the Lord 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 spoke to the children of Israel, and they brought him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones: and the children of Israel did as the Lord 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.
