Leviticus 24

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.

3 Outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps continually before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come.

4 He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.

5 You are also to take fine flour and bake twelve loaves, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf,

6 and set them in two rows—six per row—on the table of pure gold before the LORD.

7 And you are to place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread, a food offering to the LORD.

8 Every Sabbath day the bread is to be set out before the LORD on behalf of the Israelites as a permanent covenant.

9 It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place; for it is to him a most holy part of the food offerings to the LORD—his portion forever.”

10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.

11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse. So they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)

12 They placed him in custody until the will of the LORD should be made clear to them.

13 Then the LORD said to Moses,

14 “Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone him.

15 And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin.

16 Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must surely be put to death; the whole assembly must surely stone him, whether he is a foreign resident or native; if he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.

17 And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death.

18 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.

19 If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:

20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him.

21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.

22 You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am the LORD your God.’”

23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses.

1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.

3 Without the vail 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.

4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.

5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.

6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.

7 And 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.

8 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, [being taken] from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.

9 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.

10 ¶ And 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;

11 And 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] Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)

12 And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.

13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

14 Bring 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.

15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

16 And 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 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.

18 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.

19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;

20 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].

21 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

22 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.

23 And 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.

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee all the oil of the trees cast for lights, and that it be put into the lamps above every day,

3 Without the vail of the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aaron shall prepare it before the LORD evening and morning daily. And this shall be a statute for ever unto your seed.

4 And he shall set the lamps upon the fine candlestick before the LORD daily.

5 And thou shalt take breadcrumbs, and bake twelve cakes thereof; two tithes shall be in one cake.

6 And thou shalt lay them six by six upon a bed upon a fine table before the LORD.

7 And thou shalt put upon them pure incense, that they may be for a memorial bread made by fire unto the LORD.

8 All the sabbaths for and for shall he prepare them before the LORD, of the children of Israel, for an everlasting covenant.

9 And it shall be Aaron's, and his sons', that they shall eat of them in the holy place: for this is his holy of holies of the offerings of the LORD for an everlasting statute.

10 And there went out of the children of Israel the son of an Israelitish woman, the son of an Egyptian man, and quarreled with an Israelitish man in the camp.

11 And blasphemed the name, and cursed. Then they brought him unto Moses, (but his mother's name was Selomith, a daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan,)

12 And put him in prison, until they had a clear answer at the mouth of the LORD.

13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

14 Bring out the curser from before the camp, and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

15 And say unto the children of Israel, Whosoever curseth his God, let him bear his sin.

16 Whosoever blasphemeth the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him. As the stranger, so shall the native be: if he blaspheme the name, he shall die.

17 Whosoever slayeth any man shall surely be put to death.

18 And whosoever killeth any beast, he shall pay for it body for body.

19 And whosoever shall hurt his neighbour, it shall be done to him according to all that he hath done:

20 A pity for a pity, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth: as he hath hurt a man, so shall it be done unto him again.

21 So that whosoever slayeth cattle shall pay for it: but whosoever slayeth a man shall die.

22 There shall be judgment one among you, both for the stranger and for the native: for I am the LORD your God.

23 And Moses told the children of Israel; and they brought out the curser before the camp, and stoned him. So the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
