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.

Leviticus 24
24
1The Lord told Moses, 2“Order the Israelites to bring you pure, pressed olive oil for the lamps, so they will always stay lit. 3From evening until morning Aaron is to constantly look after the lamps before the Lord, outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations. 4He is to constantly look after the lamps placed on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord.
5Using the best flour bake twelve loaves, with two-tenths of an ephah of flour per loaf. 6Place them in two piles, six in each pile, on the table made of pure gold that stands before the Lord. 7Place pure frankincense beside each pile to go with the bread to act as the ‘reminder part,’#24:7. See 2:2. a food offering to the Lord. 8Every Sabbath day the bread shall be placed before the Lord, given by the Israelites as an ongoing sign of the eternal agreement. 9It is for Aaron and his descendants. They are to eat it in a holy place; for they must treat it as a most holy part of the food offerings given to the Lord. It is their share of the food offerings for all time.”
10One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went into the Israelite camp and had a fight with an Israelite. 11The Israelite woman's son cursed the name of the Lord. So they took him before Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.) 12They detained him until it was clear what the Lord wanted them to do about it.
13The Lord told Moses, 14“Take the man who cursed me outside the camp. Have all who heard him curse put their hands on his head; then have everyone stone him to death. 15Tell the Israelites that anyone who curses their God will be punished for their sin. 16Anyone who curses the name of the Lord must be executed. All of you must stone them to death, whether they are a foreigner who lives with you or an Israelite. If they curse my name, they must be executed.
17Anyone who kills someone else must be executed. 18Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it—a life for a life. 19If anyone injures someone else, whatever they've done must be done to them: 20a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever way they injured the victim, the same must be done to them. 21Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it, but anyone who kills someone else must be executed. 22The same laws apply to foreigners who live with you as to Israelites, for I am the Lord your God.”
23Moses told this to the Israelites, and they took the man who cursed the Lord outside the camp and stoned him to death. The Israelites did what the Lord ordered Moses to do.
