Leviticus 24
24
1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2‘Command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure olive oil, beaten, for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually;
3at the outside of the vail of the testimony in the tent of meeting doth Aaron arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah continually — a statute age-during to your generations;
4by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.
5‘And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,
6and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,
7and thou hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah.
8‘On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel — a covenant age-during;
9and it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah — a statute age-during.’
10And a son of an Israelitish woman goeth out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man), in the midst of the sons of Israel, and strive in the camp do the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel,
11and the son of the Israelitish woman execrateth the Name, and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his mother's name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;
12and he causeth him to rest in charge — to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.
13And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
14‘Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him.
15‘And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God — then he hath borne his sin;
16and he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.
17‘And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
18‘And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.
19‘And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he hath done so it is done to him;
20breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him.
21‘And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth [the life of] man is put to death;
22one judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] Jehovah your God.’
23And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones; and the sons of Israel have done as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

Leviticus 24
24
The Tending of the Lamp
(Exodus 27.20,21)
1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. 3Without the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the Lord continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations. 4He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
The Showbread
5 #
Exod 25.30. And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake. 6And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the Lord. 7And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord. 8Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. 9#Matt 12.4; Mark 2.26; Luke 6.4. And it shall be Aaron's 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 made by fire by a perpetual statute.
The Punishment for Blasphemy
10And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp; 11and the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was Shelo´mith, 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 spake unto Moses, saying, 14Bring forth him that hath cursed without 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 children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. 16And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death. 17#Exod 21.12. And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. 18And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast. 19And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him; 20#Exod 21.23-25; Deut 19.21; Matt 5.38. breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again. 21And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death. 22#Num 15.16. Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the Lord your God. 23And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones: and the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
