Vayikra 24
24
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.

Leviticus 24
24
Caring for the Lamps
(Exodus 27.20,21)
1The Lord told Moses 2to say to the community of Israel:
You must supply the purest olive oil for the lamps in the sacred tent, so they will keep burning. 3-4Aaron will set up the gold lampstand in the holy place of the sacred tent. Then he will light the seven lamps that must be kept burning there in my presence, every night from now on. This law will never change.
The Sacred Bread
The Lord said:
5 #
Ex 25.30. Use your finest flour to bake twelve loaves of bread about two kilograms each, 6then take them into the sacred tent and lay them on the gold table in two rows of six loaves. 7Alongside each row put some pure incense that will be sent up by fire in place of the bread as an offering to me. 8Aaron must lay fresh loaves on the table each Sabbath, and priests in all generations must continue this practice as part of Israel's agreement with me. 9#Mt 12.4; Mk 2.26; Lk 6.4. This bread will always belong to Aaron and his family; it is very holy because it was offered to me, and it must be eaten in a holy place.#24.9 holy place: The courtyard of the sacred tent (see 6.16,17).
Punishment for Cursing the Lord
10-11Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri from the tribe of Dan, had married an Egyptian, and they had a son. One day their son got into a fight with an Israelite man in camp and cursed the name of the Lord. So the young man was dragged off to Moses, 12who had him guarded while everyone waited for the Lord to tell them what to do.
13Finally, the Lord said to Moses:
14This man has cursed me! Take him outside the camp and tell the witnesses to lay their hands on his head. Then command the whole community of Israel to stone him to death. 15-16And warn the others that everyone else who curses me will die in the same way, whether they are Israelites by birth or foreigners living among you.

Ex 21.12. Death is also the penalty for murder, 18but the killing of an animal that belongs to someone else requires only that the animal be replaced. 19Personal injuries to others must be dealt with in keeping with the crime— 20#Ex 21.23-25; Dt 19.19-21; Mt 5.38. a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, or a tooth for a tooth. 21It's possible to pay the owner for an animal that has been killed, but death is the penalty for murder. 22#Nu 15.15,16. I am the Lord your God, and I demand equal justice both for you Israelites and for those foreigners who live among you.
23When Moses finished speaking, the people did what the Lord had told Moses, and they stoned to death the man who had cursed the Lord.
