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.

The Lamps
1 #
Ex. 27:20, 21 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly. 3Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall arrange it from evening to morning before the Lord regularly. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. 4He shall arrange the lamps on the #Ex. 31:8; 39:37lampstand of pure gold#24:4 Hebrew the pure lampstand before the Lord regularly.
Bread for the Tabernacle
5“You shall take fine flour and bake twelve #Ex. 25:30loaves from it; two tenths of an ephah#24:5 An ephah was about 3/5 bushel or 22 liters shall be in each loaf. 6And you shall set them in two piles, six in a pile, #Ex. 25:23, 24; 1 Kgs. 7:48; 2 Chr. 4:19; 13:11; Heb. 9:2on the table of pure gold#24:6 Hebrew the pure table before the Lord. 7And you shall put pure frankincense on each pile, that it may go with the bread as a memorial portion as a food offering to the Lord. 8#1 Chr. 9:32; [Num. 4:7; 2 Chr. 2:4]Every Sabbath day Aaron shall arrange it before the Lord regularly; it is from the people of Israel as a covenant forever. 9And #1 Sam. 21:6; Matt. 12:4; Mark 2:26; Luke 6:4 it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and #[ch. 6:16; 8:31; 21:22; Ex. 29:33]they shall eat it in a holy place, since it is for him a most holy portion out of the Lord’s food offerings, a perpetual due.”
Punishment for Blasphemy
10Now an Israelite woman’s son, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the people of Israel. And the Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought in the camp, 11and the Israelite woman’s son #See ver. 16 blasphemed the #[Ex. 3:14, 15; Phil. 2:9] Name, and cursed. Then they #Ex. 18:22, 26brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. 12And #[Num. 15:34] they put him in custody, #[Ex. 18:15, 16; Num. 27:5; 36:5, 6]till the will of the Lord should be clear to them.
13Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 14#[ver. 23] “Bring out of the camp the one who cursed, and let all who heard him #[Deut. 13:9; 17:7]lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 15And speak to the people of Israel, saying, Whoever curses his God shall #ch. 5:1; 20:17, 20; 22:9; Num. 9:13; [Ex. 20:7]bear his sin. 16Whoever #ver. 11; 1 Kgs. 21:10, 13; Matt. 26:65, 66; Mark 14:63, 64; John 10:33blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
An Eye for an Eye
17 #
Gen. 9:5, 6; Ex. 21:12; Num. 35:31; Deut. 19:11, 12 “Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death. 18#Ex. 21:33, 34Whoever takes an animal’s life shall make it good, life for life. 19If anyone injures his neighbor, #Ex. 21:23-25; Deut. 19:21; Matt. 5:38; 7:2as he has done it shall be done to him, 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him. 21#[See ver. 18 above] Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, #[See ver. 17 above]and whoever kills a person shall be put to death. 22You shall have the #ch. 19:34; Ex. 12:49; Num. 15:16same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God.” 23So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and #[ver. 14]they brought out of the camp the one who had cursed and stoned him with stones. Thus the people of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
