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.

The sanctuary’s lamp and bread
1The LORD said to Moses: 2Command the Israelites to bring pure, pressed olive oil to you for the lamp, to keep a light burning constantly. 3Aaron will tend the lamp, which will be inside the meeting tent but outside the inner curtain of the covenant document, from evening until morning before the LORD. This is a permanent rule throughout your future generations. 4Aaron must continually tend the lights on the pure lampstand#24.4 Perhaps pure gold lampstand before the LORD.
5You will take choice flour and bake twelve loaves of flatbread, two-tenths of an ephah#24.5 Approximately four quarts dry for each loaf. 6You must place them in two stacks, six in a stack, on the pure table#24.6 Perhaps pure gold table before the LORD. 7Put pure frankincense on each stack, as a token portion for the bread; it is a food gift for the LORD. 8Aaron will always set it out before the LORD, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of#24.8 Or from or as a gift of; Heb uncertain the Israelites, as a permanent covenant. 9It will belong to Aaron and his sons. They must eat it in a holy place because it is the most holy part of their share of the LORD’s food gifts, a permanent portion.
Assault and blasphemy
10The son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father came out among the Israelites. A fight broke out between this half-Israelite#24.10 Or Israelite woman’s son; also in 24:11 and another Israelite man in the camp, 11during which the half-Israelite blasphemed the Lord’s name and cursed. So he was brought to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, Dibri’s daughter from the tribe of Dan.) 12He was put under guard until they could determine the LORD’s verdict.
13Then the LORD said to Moses: 14Take the one who cursed outside the camp. All who heard him will press their hands on his head. Then the whole community will stone him. 15Tell the Israelites: Anyone who curses God will be liable to punishment. 16And anyone who blasphemes the LORD’s name must be executed. The whole community will stone that person. Immigrant and citizen alike: whenever someone blasphemes the Lord’s name, that person will be executed.
17If anyone kills another person, they must be executed. 18Someone who kills an animal may make amends for it: a life for a life. 19If someone injures a fellow citizen, they will suffer the same injury they inflicted: 20broken bone for broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The same injury the person inflicted on the other will be inflicted on them. 21Someone who kills an animal must make amends for it, but whoever kills a human being must be executed. 22There is but one law on this matter for you, immigrant or citizen alike, because I am the LORD your God.
23Moses told this to the Israelites. So they took the one who had cursed outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did just as the LORD commanded Moses.
