Leviticus 24
1¶ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2Command the sons of Israel that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
3Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the testimony, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the Lord continually; it shall be a perpetual statute for all your ages.
4He shall order the lamps upon the pure lampstand before the Lord continually.
5And thou shalt take fine flour and bake twelve cakes thereof; each cake shall be of two-tenth deals.
6And thou shalt set them in two orders, six in each order, upon the clean table before the Lord.
7And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each order, that it may be on the bread for an aroma and incense unto the Lord.
8Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually: an everlasting covenant of the sons of Israel.
9And it shall belong to Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in the holy place, for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord on fire, by a perpetual statute.
10¶ In that season the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel; and this son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
11and the Israelite woman’s son pronounced 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.
12And they put him in ward that the mind of the Lord might be showed them.
13And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
14Bring forth the one that has blasphemed outside the camp and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, The man that speaks evil of his God shall bear his sin.
16And he that pronounces the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him; the same with the stranger as with the natural, if he pronounces the Name, he shall be put to death.
17Likewise he that kills any man shall surely be put to death.
18And he that kills an animal shall make it good: animal for animal.
19And if a man causes a blemish in his neighbour; as he has done, so shall it be done to him;
20breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he has caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
21He that kills an animal shall restore it, but he that kills a man shall be put to death.
22Ye shall have one manner of law: as for the stranger, so shall it be for the natural; for I am the Lord your God.
23And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel that they should bring forth the one that had blasphemed out of the camp and stone him with stones. And the sons of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.

The Lamp
1The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly. 3Aaron shall set it up in the tent of meeting, outside the curtain of the covenant,#24.3 Or treaty, or testament; Heb eduth to burn from evening to morning before the Lord regularly; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. 4He shall set up the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold#24.4 Heb pure lampstand before the Lord regularly.
The Bread for the Tabernacle
5You shall take choice flour, and bake twelve loaves of it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each loaf. 6You shall place them in two rows, six in a row, on the table of pure gold.#24.6 Heb pure table 7You shall put pure frankincense with each row, to be a token offering for the bread, as an offering by fire to the Lord. 8Every sabbath day Aaron shall set them in order before the Lord regularly as a commitment of the people of Israel, as a covenant forever. 9They shall be for Aaron and his descendants, who shall eat them in a holy place, for they are most holy portions for him from the offerings by fire to the Lord, a perpetual due.
Blasphemy and Its Punishment
10A man whose mother was an Israelite and whose father was an Egyptian came out among the people of Israel; and the Israelite woman's son and a certain Israelite began fighting in the camp. 11The Israelite woman's son blasphemed the Name in a curse. And they brought him to Moses—now his mother's name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan— 12and they put him in custody, until the decision of the Lord should be made clear to them.
13The Lord said to Moses, saying: 14Take the blasphemer outside the camp; and let all who were within hearing lay their hands on his head, and let the whole congregation stone him. 15And speak to the people of Israel, saying: Anyone who curses God shall bear the sin. 16One who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death; the whole congregation shall stone the blasphemer. Aliens as well as citizens, when they blaspheme the Name, shall be put to death. 17Anyone who kills a human being shall be put to death. 18Anyone who kills an animal shall make restitution for it, life for life. 19Anyone who maims another shall suffer the same injury in return: 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; the injury inflicted is the injury to be suffered. 21One who kills an animal shall make restitution for it; but one who kills a human being shall be put to death. 22You shall have one law for the alien and for the citizen: for I am the Lord your God. 23Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel; and they took the blasphemer outside the camp, and stoned him to death. The people of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
