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.

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.
