Leviticus 24

1 The Lord told Moses,

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

2 “Order the Israelites to bring you pure, pressed olive oil for the lamps, so they will always stay lit.

Command the sons of Israel, That they bring unto thee—pure oil olive, beaten, for giving light, —to cause the lamp to burn up continually.

3 From evening until morning Aaron is to constantly look after the lamps continually before the Lord, outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.

Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron order it, from evening until morning, before Yahweh continually, —a statute age-abiding, to your generations.

4 He is to constantly look after the lamps placed on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord.

Upon the pure lampstand, shall he order the lamps, —before Yahweh, continually.

5 Using the best flour bake twelve loaves, with two-tenths of an ephah of flour per loaf.

And thou shalt take fine meal, and bake it, in twelve cakes, —of two-tenths, shall each cake be.

6 Place them in two piles, six in each pile, on the table made of pure gold that stands before the Lord.

And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, —upon the pure table, before Yahweh.

7 Place pure frankincense beside each pile to go with the bread to act as the ‘reminder part,’ a food offering to the Lord.

And thou shalt put upon each row pure frankincense, —so shall it belong unto the bread as a memorial, an altar-flame unto Yahweh.

8 Every Sabbath day the bread shall be placed before the Lord, given by the Israelites as an ongoing sign of the eternal agreement.

Sabbath day by sabbath day, shall he order it before Yahweh continually, —from the sons of Israel as an age-abiding covenant:

9 It is for Aaron and his descendants. They are to eat it in a holy place; for they must treat it as a most holy part of the food offerings given to the Lord. It is their share of the food offerings for all time.”

so shall it be for Aaron and for his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, —for most holy, shall it be unto him from among the altar-flames of Yahweh, a statute age-abiding.

10 One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went into the Israelite camp and had a fight with an Israelite.

And forth went the son of a woman of Israel—he being the son of a man of Egypt—in the midst of the sons of Israel;

11 The Israelite woman's son cursed the name of the Lord. So they took him before Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.)

and the son of the woman of Israel, and a man of Israel, reviled one another in the camp. And the son of the Israelitish woman uttered contemptuously the Name, and reviled. So they brought him in unto Moses, —now, the name of his mother, was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;

12 They detained him until it was clear what the Lord wanted them to do about it.

and they put him in ward, —that a clear answer might be given to them at the mouth of Yahweh.

13 The Lord told Moses,

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

14 “Take the man who cursed me outside the camp. Have all who heard him curse put their hands on his head; then have everyone stone him to death.

Bring forth him that reviled unto the outside of the camp, then shall all that heard [him] lean their hands upon his head, —and all the assembly shall stone him.

15 Tell the Israelites that anyone who curses their God will be punished for their sin.

And, unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak saying, —What man soever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

16 Anyone who curses the name of the Lord must to be executed. All of you must stone them to death, whether they are a foreigner who lives with you or an Israelite. If they curse my name, they must be executed.

And, he that contemptuously uttereth the name of Yahweh, shall be, surely put to death, all the assembly shall, surely stone, him, —as the sojourner so the home-born, when he contemptuously uttereth the Name, he shall be put to death.

17 Anyone who kills someone else must be executed.

And, when, any man, by smiting taketh the life of any human being, he shall be surely put to death,

18 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it—a life for a life.

And he that by smiting taketh away the life of a beast, shall make it good, —life for life.

19 If anyone injures someone else, whatever they've done must be done to them:

And, when, any man, inflicteth a blemish upon his neighbour, as he hath done, so, shall it be done to him:

20 a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever way they injured the victim, the same must be done to them.

fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, as he inflicteth a blemish upon a human being, so, shall one be inflicted upon him.

21 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it, but anyone who kills someone else must be executed.

And he that killeth a beast, shall make it good, -and he that killeth a human being, shall be put to death.

22 The same laws apply to foreigners who live with you as to Israelites, for I am the Lord your God.”

One rule, shall ye have, as the sojourner, so the home-born, shall be, —For, I—Yahweh, am your God.

23 Moses told this to the Israelites, and they took the man who cursed the Lord outside the camp and stoned him to death. The Israelites did what the Lord ordered Moses to do.

So then Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, and they took forth the reviler, unto the outside of the camp, and stoned him with stones. Thus, the sons of Israel did, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
