Leviticus 24
24
Care of the Tabernacle Lamps
1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2#Ex. 27:20, 21“Command the children of Israel that they bring to you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to make the lamps burn continually. 3Outside the veil of the Testimony, in the tabernacle of meeting, Aaron shall be in charge of it from evening until morning before the Lord continually; it shall be a statute forever in your generations. 4He shall be in charge of the lamps on #Ex. 25:31; 31:8; 37:17the pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually.
The Bread of the Tabernacle
5“And you shall take fine flour and bake twelve #Ex. 25:30; 39:36; 40:23cakes with it. Two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake. 6You shall set them in two rows, six in a row, #Ex. 25:23, 24; 1 Kin. 7:48; 2 Chr. 4:19; 13:11; Heb. 9:2on the pure gold table before the Lord. 7And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be on the bread for a #Lev. 2:2, 9, 16memorial, an offering made by fire to the Lord. 8#Num. 4:7; 1 Chr. 9:32; 2 Chr. 2:4; Matt. 12:4, 5Every Sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. 9And #1 Sam. 21:6; Matt. 12:4; Mark 2:26; Luke 6:4it shall be for Aaron and his sons, #Ex. 29:33; Lev. 8:31and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the offerings of the Lord made by fire, by a perpetual statute.”
The Penalty for Blasphemy
10Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and this Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought each other in the camp. 11And the Israelite woman’s son #Ex. 22:28blasphemed the name of the Lord and #Job 1:5, 11, 22; Is. 8:21cursed; and so they #Ex. 18:22, 26brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.) 12Then they #Num. 15:34put him in custody, #Num. 27:5that the mind of the Lord might be shown to them.
13And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 14“Take outside the camp him who has cursed; then let all who heard him #Deut. 13:9; 17:7lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15“Then you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Whoever curses his God #Lev. 20:17; Num. 9:13shall bear his sin. 16And whoever #Ex. 20:7; 1 Kin. 21:10, 13; (Matt. 12:31; Mark 3:28, 29)blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him, the stranger as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall be put to death.
17#Gen. 9:6; Ex. 21:12; Num. 35:30, 31; Deut. 19:11, 12; 27:24‘Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death. 18#Lev. 24:21Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, animal for animal.
19‘If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as #Ex. 21:24he has done, so shall it be done to him— 20fracture for #Ex. 21:23; Deut. 19:21fracture, #(Matt. 5:38, 39)eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it be done to him. 21And whoever kills an animal shall restore it; but whoever kills a man shall be put to death. 22You shall have #Ex. 12:49; Lev. 19:33–37; Num. 9:14; 15:15, 16, 29the same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the Lord your God.’ ”
23Then Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they took outside the camp him who had cursed, and stoned him with stones. So the children of Israel 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.
