Leviticus 24
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 Lamp and the Bread of the Sanctuary
1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Command the children of Israel to bring to you clear oil from beaten olives for the light [of the golden lampstand], to make a lamp burn continually. 3Outside the veil of the Testimony [between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place] in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall always keep the lamps #24:3 Lit it in order.burning before the Lord from evening until morning; it shall be a permanent statute throughout your generations. 4He shall keep the lamps burning on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually. [Rev 1:12-18]
5“Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes (bread of the Presence, showbread) with it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake (loaf). 6You shall set the bread of the Presence (showbread) in two rows, six in a row, on the pure gold table before the Lord. 7You shall put pure frankincense [in two censers, one] beside each row, so that it may be with the bread as a memorial portion, an offering by fire to the Lord. 8Every Sabbath day Aaron shall arrange the showbread before the Lord continually; it is an everlasting covenant for the Israelites. 9The bread of the Presence shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a sacred place, for it is for Aaron a most holy portion of the offerings by fire to the Lord, his portion forever.”
10Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the Israelites, and he and a man of Israel quarreled and struggled with each other in the camp. 11The Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the Name [of the Lord] and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.) 12They put him in custody until the will and command of the Lord might be made clear to them.
13Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 14“Bring the one who has cursed [the Lord] outside the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head [as witnesses to his guilt]; then let all the congregation stone him. 15You shall speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God will bear his sin [through his own death]. 16Further, the one who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall most certainly be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him. The stranger as well as the native-born shall be put to death when he blasphemes the Name [of the Lord].
“An Eye for an Eye”
17‘If a man takes the life of any human being [unlawfully], he shall most certainly be put to death. 18The one who kills an animal shall replace it, animal for animal. 19If a man injures his neighbor (fellow citizen), whatever he has done shall be done to him: 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has injured a man, so shall the same be done to him. [Matt 5:38-42; 7:2] 21The one who kills an animal shall replace it; but he who kills a human being [unlawfully] shall be put to death. 22You shall have one standard of law for the stranger among you as well as for the native, for I am the Lord your God.’ ” 23Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they brought the one who had cursed [the Lord] outside the camp and stoned him with stones. Thus the Israelites did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
