Leviticus 24
24
1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. 3Without the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations. 4He shall keep in order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before Jehovah continually.
5And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts of an ephah shall be in one cake. 6And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah. 7And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto Jehovah. 8Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before Jehovah continually; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant. 9And it shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire by a perpetual statute.
10And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp: 11and the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed 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 it might be declared unto them at the mouth of Jehovah.
13And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 14Bring forth him that hath cursed without 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 children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. 16And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the sojourner, as the home-born, when he blasphemeth the name of Jehovah, shall be put to death. 17And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death. 18And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life. 19And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him: 20breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto him. 21And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: and he that killeth a man shall be put to death. 22Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Jehovah your God. 23And Moses spake to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses.

Leviticus 24
24
Eternal Light and Bread
1Then Adonai spoke to Moses saying:
2“Order Bnei-Yisrael to bring to you pure olive oil, beaten for the light, to keep a lamp burning continually.
3Outside of the curtain of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to keep it in order from evening to morning before Adonai continually. It is to be a statute forever throughout your generations.
4He is to keep the lamps in order on the pure gold menorah before Adonai continually.
5“Also you are to take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it, with two tenths of an ephah in each cake.
6Then you are to set them in two rows, six in a row, on the pure gold table before Adonai.
7Set pure frankincense on each row, as a memorial portion for the bread, an offering by fire to Adonai.
8Every Yom Shabbat he is to set it in order before Adonai continually. It is an everlasting covenant on behalf of Bnei-Yisrael.
9It belongs to Aaron and his sons, and they are to eat it in a holy place, for it is most holy to him among the offerings of Adonai by fire, as a perpetual statute.”
Justice and Restitution
10Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among Bnei-Yisrael, and a fight broke out between the Israelite woman’s son and an Israelite man.
11The Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the Name, and cursed, so they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12They put him in custody, until the will of Adonai could be declared to them.
13Then Adonai spoke to Moses, saying:
14“Bring the one who cursed, out of the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and have the entire congregation stone him.
15“Then you will speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: Whoever curses his God will bear his sin.
16Whoever blasphemes the Name of Adonai must surely be put to death. The whole congregation must stone him. The outsider as well as the native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, is to be put to death.
17“Whoever mortally strikes down any man must surely be put to death.
18Whoever mortally strikes down an animal is to make restitution—life for life.
19If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done, the same is to be done to him:
20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he has injured someone, so it shall it be done to him.
21“Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution, but the one who kills a man is to be put to death.
22You are to have one standard of justice for the outsider as well as the native-born, for I am Adonai your God.”
23So Moses spoke to Bnei-Yisrael, and they led the one who had cursed out of the camp, then stoned him with rocks. Thus Bnei-Yisrael did as Adonai commanded Moses.
