Leviticus 24

¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

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

³Without the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.

⁴He shall keep in order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before Jehovah continually.

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

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

⁷And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.

⁸Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before Jehovah continually; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant.

⁹And it shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire by a perpetual statute.

¹⁰And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp:

¹¹and the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed 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 it might be declared unto them at the mouth of Jehovah.

¹³And Jehovah 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 Jehovah, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the sojourner, as the home-born, when he blasphemeth the name of Jehovah, shall be put to death.

¹⁷And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death.

¹⁸And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.

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

²⁰breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto him.

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

²²Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Jehovah your God.

²³And Moses spake to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses.

Leviticus 24

¹Then 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.

³Outside 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.

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

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

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

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

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

⁹It 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 offerings made by fire to the LORD—his portion forever.”

¹⁰Now 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.

¹¹The 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.)

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

¹³Then 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.

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

¹⁶Whoever 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

²³Then 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.
