Leviticus 24
24
Olive oil and bread set before the Lord
1The Lord said to Moses, 2‘Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning continually. 3Outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps before the Lord from evening till morning, continually. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. 4The lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord must be tended continually.
5‘Take the finest flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using one-fifth of an ephah#24:5 That is, probably about 3.2 kilograms for each loaf. 6Arrange them in two piles, six in each pile, on the table of pure gold before the Lord. 7By each pile put some pure incense as a memorial#24:7 Or representative portion to represent the bread and to be a food offering presented to the Lord. 8This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant. 9It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in the sanctuary area, because it is a most holy part of their perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord.’
A blasphemer put to death
10Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite. 11The son of the Israelite woman used the Name blasphemously with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.) 12They put him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them.
13Then the Lord said to Moses: 14‘Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him. 15Say to the Israelites: “Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible; 16anyone who uses the name of the Lord blasphemously is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they use the Name blasphemously they are to be put to death.
17‘ “Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death. 18Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution – life for life. 19Anyone who injures their neighbour is to be injured in the same manner: 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. 21Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death. 22You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the Lord your God.” ’
23Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses.

1And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2Command the Bnei Yisroel, that they bring unto thee pure shemen zayit beaten for the light, to kindle the Ner Tamid (Perpetual Lamp).
3Outside the Parochet (Curtain) of the Edut, in the Ohel Mo'ed shall Aharon set it in order from erev unto boker before Hashem tamid (continually); it shall be a chukkat olam in your dorot.
4He shall set in order the nerot (lamps) upon the Menorah Hatehorah before Hashem tamid (continually).
5And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake Sheteym Esreh Challot thereof; two tenths of an ephah shall be in Challah Echat.
6And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the Shulchan HaTahor before Hashem.
7And thou shalt put levonah zakkah (pure incense) upon each row, that it may be on the lechem for a memorial portion, even an offering made by eish unto Hashem.
8Shabbos after Shabbos he shall set it in order before Hashem tamid, from the Bnei Yisroel as a Brit Olam.
9And it shall be for Aharon and for his Banim; and they shall eat it in the Makom Kadosh; for it is kodesh kodashim unto him of the offerings of Hashem made by eish, a chok olam.
10And the ben isha Yisroelit, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the Bnei Yisroel; and this ben isha Yisroeli and a man of Yisroel fought together in the machaneh;
11And the ben haisha Yisroelit pronounced HaShem and blasphemed in a curse. And they brought him unto Moshe; (and shem immo was Shelomit bat Divri, of the tribe of Dan;)
12And they put him in custody, that the mind of Hashem might be showed them.
13And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
14Bring forth him that hath blasphemed outside the machaneh; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let kol HaEdah stone him.
15And thou shalt speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, Whosoever curseth Elohav shall bear his chet.
16And he that blasphemeth the Shem of Hashem, he shall surely be put to death, and kol HaEdah shall certainly stone him; as well the ger, as the ezrach, when he blasphemeth the Shem of Hashem, shall be put to death.
17And he that taketh the nefesh of any man shall surely be put to death.
18And he that taketh the nefesh of a beast shall make it good; nefesh takhat nefesh.
19And if a man cause a mum in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
20Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath caused a mum in an adam, so shall it be done to him.
21And he that killeth a beast, he shall restitute it; and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
22Ye shall have mishpat echad, as well for the ger, as for the ezrach: for I am Hashem Eloheichem.
23And Moshe spoke to the Bnei Yisroel, that they should bring forth him that had blasphemed out of the machaneh, and stone him with stones. And the Bnei Yisroel did as Hashem commanded Moshe.
