Leviticus 24
24
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. 3Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. 4He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lamp stand before the LORD continually.
5“You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenths of an efah#24:5 1 efah is about 22 liters or about 2/3 of a bushel shall be in one cake. 6You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD. 7You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to the LORD. 8Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually. It is an everlasting covenant on the behalf of the children of Israel. 9It shall be for Aaron and his sons. They shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.”
10 The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp. 11The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and 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 LORD’s will should be declared to them. 13The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 14“Bring him who cursed out of the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 15You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. 16He who blasphemes the LORD’s name, he shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreigner as well as the native-born shall be put to death when he blasphemes the Name.
17“‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death. 18He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life. 19If anyone injures his neighbor, it shall be done to him as he has done: 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. It shall be done to him as he has injured someone. 21He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death. 22You shall have one kind of law for the foreigner as well as the native-born; for I am the LORD your God.’”
23 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.

Tabernacle Oil and Bread
1The Lord spoke to Moses: 2“Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil from crushed olives for the light, in order to keep the lamp burning regularly.#Ex 25:37 3Aaron is to tend it continually from evening until morning before the Lord outside the curtain#Mk 15:38; Heb 6:19 of the testimony#Ex 31:18 in the tent of meeting. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations. 4He must continually tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand in the Lord’s presence.#Gn 4:14; Ex 25:31; 37:17; Zch 4:2
5“Take fine flour and bake it into twelve loaves;#Ex 25:30 each loaf is to be made with four quarts.#24:5 Lit two-tenths of an ephah 6Arrange them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table#Ex 25:23; Heb 9:2 before the Lord. 7Place pure frankincense#Ex 30:34 near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion#Lv 2:2 for the bread and a food offering#Dt 18:1 to the Lord. 8The bread is to be set out before the Lord every Sabbath day as a permanent covenant#Ex 19:5 obligation on the part of the Israelites. 9It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place, for it is the holiest portion for him from the food offerings to the Lord; this is a permanent rule.”
A Case of Blasphemy
10Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father was#24:10 Lit went out among the Israelites. A fight broke out in the camp between the Israelite woman’s son and an Israelite man. 11Her son cursed and blasphemed the Name,#Ex 20:7; Lv 24:16; Nm 15:30; 1Sm 3:13; Neh 9:18 and they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, a daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan.#Gn 49:16) 12They put him in custody#Gn 40:3–7; 41:10; 42:17 until the Lord’s decision#Nm 3:39; 15:32–36 could be made clear to them.
13Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 14“Bring the one who has cursed to the outside of the camp and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole community stone him.#Lv 20:2,27; 24:16,23; Nm 14:10; 15:35–36; Dt 21:21; Jos 7:25; 1Kg 12:18; Ezk 16:40; 23:47; Jn 10:33 15And tell the Israelites: If anyone curses his God, he will bear the consequences of his sin. 16Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord must be put to death;#Ex 20:7; 22:28; 1Kg 21:10,13; Jn 8:59; 19:7; 2Tm 2:19 the whole community is to stone him. If he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death, whether the resident alien or the native.
17“If a man kills anyone, he must be put to death.#Gn 9:5–6; Ex 20:13; 21:12–14; Nm 35:30–31 18Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution for it, life for life. 19If any man inflicts a permanent injury on his neighbor, whatever he has done is to be done to him: 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Whatever injury he inflicted on the person, the same is to be inflicted on him.#Ex 21:24; Dt 19:21; Mt 5:38–39; 7:12 21Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution for it, but whoever kills a person is to be put to death.#Nm 35:30–33 22You are to have the same law for the resident alien and the native, because I am the Lord your God.”
23After Moses spoke to the Israelites, they brought the one who had cursed to the outside of the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
