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

Tabernacle Oil and Bread
1The Lord spoke to Moses: 2“Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil from crushed olives for the light, in order to keep the lamp burning continually. # Ex 25:37 3Aaron is to tend it continually from evening until morning before the Lord outside the veil # Mk 15:38; Heb 6:19 of the testimony # Ex 31:18 in the tent of meeting. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations. 4He must continually tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand in the Lord’s presence. # Gn 4:14; Ex 25:31; 37:17; Zch 4:2
5“Take fine flour and bake it into 12 loaves; # Ex 25:30 each loaf is to be made with four quarts. # Lit two-tenths of an ephah 6Arrange them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table # Ex 25:23; Heb 9:2 before the Lord. 7Place pure frankincense # Ex 30:34 near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion # Lv 2:2 for the bread and a fire offering # Dt 18:1 to the Lord. 8The bread is to be set out before the Lord every Sabbath day as a perpetual covenant # Ex 19:5 obligation on the part of the Israelites. 9It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place, for it is the holiest portion for him from the fire offerings to the Lord; this is a permanent rule.”
A Case of Blasphemy
10Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father was # Lit went out among the Israelites. A fight broke out in the camp between the Israelite woman’s son and an Israelite man. 11Her son cursed and blasphemed the Name, # Ex 20:7; Lv 24:16; Nm 15:30; 1Sm 3:13; Neh 9:18 and they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, a daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan. # Gn 49:16) 12They put him in custody # Gn 40:3-7; 41:10; 42:17 until the Lord’s decision # Nm 3:39; 15:32-36 could be made clear to them.
13Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 14“Bring the one who has cursed to the outside of the camp and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole community stone him. # Lv 20:2,27; 24:16,23; Nm 14:10; 15:35-36; Dt 21:21; Jos 7:25; 1Kg 12:18; Ezk 16:40; 23:47; Jn 10:33 15And tell the Israelites: If anyone curses his God, he will bear the consequences of his sin. 16Whoever blasphemes the name of Yahweh is to be put to death; # Ex 20:7; 22:28; 1Kg 21:10,13; Jn 8:59; 19:7; 2Tm 2:19 the whole community must stone him. If he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death, whether the foreign resident or the native.
17“If a man kills anyone, he must be put to death. # Gn 9:5-6; Ex 20:13; 21:12-14; Nm 35:30-31 18Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution for it, life for life. 19If any man inflicts a permanent injury on his neighbor, whatever he has done is to be done to him: 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Whatever injury he inflicted on the person, the same is to be inflicted on him. # Ex 21:24; Dt 19:21; Mt 5:38-39; 7:12 21Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution for it, but whoever kills a person is to be put to death. # Nm 35:30-33 22You are to have the same law for the foreign resident and the native, because I am Yahweh your God.”
23After Moses spoke to the Israelites, they brought the one who had cursed to the outside of the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
