Leviticus 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.

The Lampstand and the Holy Bread
1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from crushed olives. That oil is for the lamps. These lamps must never go out. 3Aaron will keep the lamps burning in the Meeting Tent. They will burn from evening until morning before the Lord. This will be in front of the curtain of the Ark of the Covenant. This law will continue from now on. 4Aaron must always keep the lamps burning. They are on the lampstands of pure gold before the Lord.
5“Take fine flour and bake 12 loaves of bread with it. Use four quarts of flour for each loaf. 6Put them in two rows on the golden table before the Lord. Six loaves will be in each row. 7Put pure incense on each row. This is the memorial portion to take the place of the bread. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord. 8Every Sabbath day Aaron will put the bread in order before the Lord. This agreement with the people of Israel will continue forever. 9That bread will belong to Aaron and his sons. They will eat it in a holy place. This is because it is a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the Lord. That bread is their share forever.”
The Man Who Cursed God
10Now there was a son of an Israelite woman and an Egyptian father. The son was walking among the Israelites. And a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite. 11The son of the Israelite woman began cursing and speaking against the Lord. So the people took him to Moses. (The mother’s name was Shelomith. She was the daughter of Debri from the family of Dan.) 12The people held him as a prisoner. They waited for the Lord’s command to be made clear to them.
13Then the Lord said to Moses, 14“Take the one who spoke against me outside the camp. Then bring together all the people who heard him. They must put their hands on his head.# This shows that all these people were sharing in punishing the one who spoke against God. Then all the people must throw stones at him and kill him. 15Tell the people of Israel this: ‘If anyone curses his God, he is guilty of sin. 16Anyone who speaks against the Lord must be put to death. All the people must kill him by throwing stones at him. Foreigners must be punished just like the person born in Israel. If someone speaks against the Lord, he must be put to death.
17“‘If someone kills another person, he must be put to death. 18Someone might kill an animal that belongs to another person. If he does, he must give that person another animal to take its place. 19And someone might cause an injury to his neighbor. If he does, the same kind of injury must be given back to him. 20A broken bone must be paid for a broken bone, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. In the same way someone injures another person, he must be injured in return. 21So anyone who kills another person’s animal must give that person another animal to take its place. But the person who kills another person must be put to death.
22“‘The law will be the same for the foreigner as for those from your own country. I am the Lord your God.’”
23Then Moses spoke to the people of Israel. And they took the person who had cursed outside the camp. Then they killed him with stones. So the people of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
