Duties in the Tent of Meeting
(Exodus 27:20–21)
1The Lord spoke to Moses, 2“Command the Israelites to bring you pure, virgin olive oil for the lamp stand so that the lamps won’t go out. 3In the tent of meeting, outside the canopy where the words of my promise are, Aaron must keep the lamps lit in the Lord’s presence from evening until morning. It is a permanent law for generations to come. 4Aaron must keep the lamps on the pure gold lamp stand lit in the Lord’s presence.
5“Also take flour and bake twelve rings of bread. Each ring will contain four quarts of flour. 6Put them in two stacks of six each on the gold table in the Lord’s presence. 7Lay pure incense on top of each stack. The incense on the bread will be a reminder, an offering by fire to the Lord. 8Every day of rest is a holy day when the ⌞priest⌟ must arrange the bread in the Lord’s presence. It is a continual reminder of my promise #24:8 Or “covenant.” to the Israelites. 9The bread will belong to Aaron and his sons. They will eat it in a holy place. It is very holy, set apart from the Lord’s offering by fire. This is a permanent law.”
The Man Who Cursed the LORD’s Name
10A man, whose mother was Shelomith (daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan in Israel) and whose father was from Egypt, got into a quarrel with an Israelite in the camp. 11The Israelite woman’s son began cursing the Lord’s name and treating it with contempt. So they brought him to Moses.#24:11 Part of verse 11 (in Hebrew) has been placed in verse 10 to express the complex Hebrew paragraph structure more clearly in English. 12They kept him in custody until the Lord told them what to do.
13The Lord spoke to Moses, 14“The man who cursed ⌞my name⌟ must be taken outside the camp. All who heard him curse ⌞my name⌟ must lay their hands on his head. Then the whole congregation must stone him to death.
15“Also tell the Israelites: Those who treat their God with contempt will be punished for their sin. 16But those who curse the Lord’s name must be put to death. The whole congregation must stone them to death. It makes no difference whether they are Israelites or foreigners. Whoever curses the Lord’s name must die.
17“Whoever kills another person must be put to death. 18Whoever kills an animal must replace it, life for life. 19Whoever injures a neighbor must receive the same injury in return— 20a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whoever injures another person must receive the same injury in return. 21Whoever kills an animal must replace it. Whoever kills a person must be put to death. 22The same rule applies to every one of you. It makes no difference whether you are a foreigner or an Israelite, because I am the Lord your God.”
23Moses spoke to the people of Israel. So the man who had cursed the Lord’s name was taken outside the camp. There they stoned him to death as the Lord commanded Moses. The Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses.

Leviticus 24
1¶ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2Command the sons of Israel that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
3Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the testimony, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the Lord continually; it shall be a perpetual statute for all your ages.
4He shall order the lamps upon the pure lampstand before the Lord continually.
5And thou shalt take fine flour and bake twelve cakes thereof; each cake shall be of two-tenth deals.
6And thou shalt set them in two orders, six in each order, upon the clean table before the Lord.
7And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each order, that it may be on the bread for an aroma and incense unto the Lord.
8Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually: an everlasting covenant of the sons of Israel.
9And it shall belong to Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in the holy place, for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord on fire, by a perpetual statute.
10¶ In that season the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel; and this son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
11and the Israelite woman’s son pronounced the Name and cursed; and they brought him unto Moses. And his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12And they put him in ward that the mind of the Lord might be showed them.
13And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
14Bring forth the one that has blasphemed outside the camp and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, The man that speaks evil of his God shall bear his sin.
16And he that pronounces the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him; the same with the stranger as with the natural, if he pronounces the Name, he shall be put to death.
17Likewise he that kills any man shall surely be put to death.
18And he that kills an animal shall make it good: animal for animal.
19And if a man causes a blemish in his neighbour; as he has done, so shall it be done to him;
20breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he has caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
21He that kills an animal shall restore it, but he that kills a man shall be put to death.
22Ye shall have one manner of law: as for the stranger, so shall it be for the natural; for I am the Lord your God.
23And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel that they should bring forth the one that had blasphemed out of the camp and stone him with stones. And the sons of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
