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
24
The Tabernacle Lamps
Ex 27:20–21
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2#Ex 27:20–21Command the children of Israel that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the lamp, to cause the lamps to burn continually. 3Outside the veil of the sanctuary, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall arrange it continually, from the evening until the morning before the Lord. It shall be a perpetual statute in your generations. 4#Ex 31:8; 39:37He shall arrange the lamps continually on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord.
The Bread of the Tabernacle
5#Ex 25:30; 40:23You shall take wheat flour and bake twelve cakes. Two-tenths of an ephah#Likely about 7 pounds, or 3.2 kilograms. shall be in each cake. 6#1Ki 7:48; Ex 25:23–24You shall set them in two rows, six in a row, on the pure gold table before the Lord. 7#Lev 2:2You shall put pure frankincense on each row, so that it may be on the bread for a memorial, a food offering made by fire to the Lord. 8#Nu 4:7; 2Ch 2:4Every Sabbath he shall set it in order continually before the Lord, with the portion taken from the children of Israel by a perpetual covenant. 9#Lev 8:31; Mt 12:4; Mk 2:26It shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, for it is most holy to him of the food offerings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetual statute.
The Punishment for Blasphemy
10The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel, and this son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel fought together in the camp. 11#Ex 3:15; 18:22And the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the name of the Lord and cursed. And they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.) 12#Ex 18:15–16; Nu 15:34And they put him in custody, so that the words of the Lord might be shown to them.
13The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 14#Dt 17:7; Lev 20:27Bring outside the camp him who has cursed, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let the entire congregation stone him. 15#Lev 5:1; Nu 9:13You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. 16#Mt 12:31Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and the entire congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreigner as well as the native in the land, when he blasphemes the name, then he shall be put to death.
17#Ge 9:5–6; Dt 19:11–12Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death. 18#Lev 24:21Whoever kills an animal shall make restitution, animal for animal. 19#Dt 19:21; Mt 5:38If anyone causes injury to his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him, 20#Dt 19:21; Mt 5:38fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused an injury to another, so shall it be done to him. 21#Lev 24:17–18Whoever kills an animal shall make restitution. And whoever kills a man shall be put to death. 22#Ex 12:49; Nu 9:14You shall have one manner of law for the foreigner as for the native, for I am the Lord your God.
23So Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and they brought outside the camp him who had cursed, and stoned him. And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
