Leviticus 24
24
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may bring to you clear oil from the purest olives, in order to supply the lamps continuously
3 outside the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall place these, from evening until morning, before the Lord, as a perpetual worship and ritual in your generations.
4 They shall be placed upon the most pure candlestick in the sight of the Lord always.
5 You shall also receive fine wheat flour, and you shall bake twelve loaves from it, each loaf of which shall have two-tenths.
6 And you shall arrange them, six on each side, upon the most pure table before the Lord.
7 And you shall place upon them the clearest frankincense, so that the bread may be a memorial of oblation for the Lord.
8 On each Sabbath, they shall be changed before the Lord, having been received from the sons of Israel as an everlasting covenant.
9 And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, so that they may eat these in the holy place; for it is the Holy of holies from the sacrifices of the Lord, as a perpetual right.
10 Then, behold, the son of an Israelite woman, whom she had born of an Egyptian man among the sons of Israel, going out, was quarreling in the camp with a man of Israel.
11 And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was led to Moses. (Now his mother was called Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri from the tribe of Dan.)
12 And they sent him to prison, until they might know what the Lord would command,
13 who spoke to Moses,
14 saying: Lead away the blasphemer beyond the camp, and let all who heard him place their hands upon his head, and let the entire people stone him.
15 And you shall say to the sons of Israel: The man who curses his God shall bear his sin,
16 and whoever will have blasphemed the name of the Lord shall be put to death. The entire multitude shall overwhelm him with stones, whether he be a citizen or a sojourner. Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death.
17 Whoever will have struck and killed a man shall be put to death.
18 Whoever will have struck down an animal shall repay its equivalent, that is, a life for a life.
19 Whoever will have inflicted a blemish on any of his citizens, just as he has done, so shall it be done to him:
20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he repay. Whatever degree of blemish he has inflicted, so shall he be compelled to suffer.
21 Whoever strikes down a beast, shall repay another. Whoever strikes a man shall be punished.
22 Let there be equal judgment among you, whether it is a sojourner or a citizen who will have sinned. For I am the Lord your God.
23 And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel. And they led away him who had blasphemed, beyond the camp, and they overwhelmed him with stones. And the sons of Israel did just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

Leviticus 24
24
1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 2Command the children of Israel that they bring unto thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to light the lamp continually. 3Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron dress it from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: it is an everlasting statute throughout your generations. 4Upon the pure candlestick shall he arrange the lamps before Jehovah continually. 5And thou shalt take fine wheaten flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof; each cake shall be of two tenths. 6And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah. 7And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row; and it shall be a bread of remembrance, an offering by fire to Jehovah. 8Every sabbath day he shall arrange it before Jehovah continually, on the part of the children of Israel: it is an everlasting covenant. 9And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him of Jehovah's offerings by fire: it is an everlasting statute.
10And the son of an Israelitish woman — but withal the son of an Egyptian, — went out among the children of Israel; and this son of the Israelitess and a man of Israel strove together in the camp; 11and the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. And his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. 12And they confined him, that they might decide at the mouth of Jehovah. 13And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 14Lead the reviler outside the camp; and all that heard him shall lay their hands upon his head, and the whole assembly shall stone him. 15And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Every one when he revileth his God#GodHebrew: Elohim shall bear his sin. 16And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah shall certainly be put to death; all the assembly shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger as he that is home-born, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death. 17And if any one smiteth any man mortally, he shall certainly be put to death. 18And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life. 19And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour, as he hath done, so shall it be done to him; 20breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him. 21He that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good; and he that smiteth a man mortally shall be put to death. 22Ye shall have one law: as the stranger, so the home-born; for I am Jehovah your God#GodHebrew: Elohim 23And Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they led the reviler outside the camp and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
