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.

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.
