Leviticus 24
24
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and clearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually,
3Without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall set them from evening until morning before the Lord, by a perpetual service and rite in your generations.
4They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
5Thou shalt take also fine flour, and shalt bake twelve loaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf.
6And thou shalt set them six and six, one against another, upon the most clean table before the Lord.
7And thou shalt put upon them the clearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of the Lord.
8Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord: being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant:
9And they shall be Aaron's and his sons', that they may eat them in the holy place: because it is most holy of the sacrifices of the Lord by a perpetual right.
10And, behold, there went out the son of a woman of Israel, whom she had of an Egyptian, among the children of Israel: and fell at words in the camp with a man of Israel.
11And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was brought to Moses. (Now his mother was called Salumith, the daughter of Dabri, of the tribe of Dan:)
12And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.
13And the Lord spoke to Moses,
14Saying: Bring forth the blasphemer without the camp: and let them that heard him put their hands upon his head: and let all the people stone him.
15And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel. The man that curseth his God shall bear his sin:
16And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die. All the multitude shall stone him, whether he be a native or a stranger. He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die.
17He that striketh and killeth a man: dying let him die.
18He that killeth a beast shall make it good: that is to say, shall give beast for beast.
19He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:
20Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he restore. What blemish he gave, the like shall he be compelled to suffer.
21He that striketh a beast shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished.
22Let there be equal judgment among you, whether he be a stranger, or a native that offends: because I am the Lord your God.
23And Moses spoke to the children of Israel. And they brought forth him that had blasphemed, without the camp, and they stoned him. And the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.

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.
