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.

1And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2Command the Bnei Yisroel, that they bring unto thee pure shemen zayit beaten for the light, to kindle the Ner Tamid (Perpetual Lamp).
3Outside the Parochet (Curtain) of the Edut, in the Ohel Mo'ed shall Aharon set it in order from erev unto boker before Hashem tamid (continually); it shall be a chukkat olam in your dorot.
4He shall set in order the nerot (lamps) upon the Menorah Hatehorah before Hashem tamid (continually).
5And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake Sheteym Esreh Challot thereof; two tenths of an ephah shall be in Challah Echat.
6And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the Shulchan HaTahor before Hashem.
7And thou shalt put levonah zakkah (pure incense) upon each row, that it may be on the lechem for a memorial portion, even an offering made by eish unto Hashem.
8Shabbos after Shabbos he shall set it in order before Hashem tamid, from the Bnei Yisroel as a Brit Olam.
9And it shall be for Aharon and for his Banim; and they shall eat it in the Makom Kadosh; for it is kodesh kodashim unto him of the offerings of Hashem made by eish, a chok olam.
10And the ben isha Yisroelit, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the Bnei Yisroel; and this ben isha Yisroeli and a man of Yisroel fought together in the machaneh;
11And the ben haisha Yisroelit pronounced HaShem and blasphemed in a curse. And they brought him unto Moshe; (and shem immo was Shelomit bat Divri, of the tribe of Dan;)
12And they put him in custody, that the mind of Hashem might be showed them.
13And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
14Bring forth him that hath blasphemed outside the machaneh; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let kol HaEdah stone him.
15And thou shalt speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, Whosoever curseth Elohav shall bear his chet.
16And he that blasphemeth the Shem of Hashem, he shall surely be put to death, and kol HaEdah shall certainly stone him; as well the ger, as the ezrach, when he blasphemeth the Shem of Hashem, shall be put to death.
17And he that taketh the nefesh of any man shall surely be put to death.
18And he that taketh the nefesh of a beast shall make it good; nefesh takhat nefesh.
19And if a man cause a mum in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
20Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath caused a mum in an adam, so shall it be done to him.
21And he that killeth a beast, he shall restitute it; and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
22Ye shall have mishpat echad, as well for the ger, as for the ezrach: for I am Hashem Eloheichem.
23And Moshe spoke to the Bnei Yisroel, that they should bring forth him that had blasphemed out of the machaneh, and stone him with stones. And the Bnei Yisroel did as Hashem commanded Moshe.
