1The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, (Ex 27:20)2“Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly.3Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall arrange it from evening to morning before the Lord regularly. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.4He shall arrange the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold[1] before the Lord regularly. (Ex 31:8; Ex 39:37)
Bread for the Tabernacle
5“You shall take fine flour and bake twelve loaves from it; two tenths of an ephah[2] shall be in each loaf. (Ex 25:30)6And you shall set them in two piles, six in a pile, on the table of pure gold[3] before the Lord. (Ex 25:23; 1Ki 7:48; 2Ch 4:19; 2Ch 13:11; Heb 9:2)7And you shall put pure frankincense on each pile, that it may go with the bread as a memorial portion as a food offering to the Lord.8Every Sabbath day Aaron shall arrange it before the Lord regularly; it is from the people of Israel as a covenant forever. (Nu 4:7; 1Ch 9:32; 2Ch 2:4)9And it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, since it is for him a most holy portion out of the Lord’s food offerings, a perpetual due.” (Ex 29:33; Le 6:16; Le 8:31; Le 21:22; 1Sa 21:6; Mt 12:4; Mr 2:26; Lu 6:4)
Punishment for Blasphemy
10Now an Israelite woman’s son, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the people of Israel. And the Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought in the camp,11and the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the Name, and cursed. Then they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. (Ex 3:14; Ex 18:22; Ex 18:26; Le 24:16; Php 2:9)12And they put him in custody, till the will of the Lord should be clear to them. (Ex 18:15; Nu 15:34; Nu 27:5; Nu 36:5)13Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,14“Bring out of the camp the one who cursed, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. (Le 24:23; De 13:9; De 17:7)15And speak to the people of Israel, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. (Ex 20:7; Le 5:1; Le 20:17; Le 20:20; Le 22:9; Nu 9:13)16Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death. (Le 24:11; 1Ki 21:10; 1Ki 21:13; Mt 26:65; Mr 14:63; Joh 10:33)
An Eye for an Eye
17“Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death. (Ge 9:5; Ex 21:12; Nu 35:31; De 19:11)18Whoever takes an animal’s life shall make it good, life for life. (Ex 21:33)19If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done it shall be done to him, (Ex 21:23; De 19:21; Mt 5:38; Mt 7:2)20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him.21Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, and whoever kills a person shall be put to death. (Le 24:17; Le 24:18)22You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God.” (Ex 12:49; Le 19:34; Nu 15:16)23So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and they brought out of the camp the one who had cursed and stoned him with stones. Thus the people of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses. (Le 24:14)
1The Lord said to Moses,2‘Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning continually.3Outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps before the Lord from evening till morning, continually. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.4The lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord must be tended continually.5‘Take the finest flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using one-fifth of an ephah[1] for each loaf.6Arrange them in two piles, six in each pile, on the table of pure gold before the Lord.7By each pile put some pure incense as a memorial[2] portion to represent the bread and to be a food offering presented to the Lord.8This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant.9It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in the sanctuary area, because it is a most holy part of their perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord.’
A blasphemer put to death
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 used the Name blasphemously with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.)12They put 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. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him.15Say to the Israelites: “Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible;16anyone who uses the name of the Lord blasphemously is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they use the Name blasphemously they are to be put to death.17‘ “Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death.18Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution – life for life.19Anyone who injures their neighbour is to be injured in the same manner:20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury.21Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death.22You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the Lord your God.” ’23Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses.
Leviticus 24
King James Version
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 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.4He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.5And 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.9And it shall be Aaron' 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.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' son blasphemed the name of the LORD , and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother' name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)12And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed 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.17And 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 neighbour; 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 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.22Ye 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.
1The LORD said to Moses,2‘Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil made from pressed olives. Use it to keep the lamps burning and giving light all the time.3Aaron must take care of the lamps in front of the LORD from evening until morning all the time. This is a law that will last for all time to come. The lamps are outside the curtain in front of the tablets of the covenant law in the tent of meeting.4The lamps are on the pure gold lampstand in front of the LORD. They must be taken care of all the time.5‘Get the finest flour and bake 12 loaves of bread. Use 3 kilograms of flour for each loaf.6Arrange them in two piles. Put six loaves in each pile on the table made out of pure gold. The table stands in front of the LORD.7By each pile put some pure incense. It will remind you that all good things come from the LORD. Burn the incense in place of the bread. The incense is a food offering presented to the LORD.8The bread must be set out in front of the LORD regularly. Do it every Sabbath day. It will be Israel’s duty to provide it for all time to come.9The bread belongs to Aaron and his sons. They must eat it in the holy area. It is a very holy part of their regular share of the food offerings presented to the LORD.’
A person who speaks evil is put to death
10There was a man who had an Israelite mother. His father was born in Egypt. The man went out among the Israelites. A fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.11The son of the Israelite woman spoke evil things against the LORD by using a curse. So the people brought him to Moses. The name of the man’s mother was Shelomith. She was the daughter of Dibri. Dibri was from the tribe of Dan.12The people kept her son under guard until they could find out what the LORD wanted them to do.13Then the LORD spoke to Moses. He said,14‘Get the man who spoke evil things against the LORD. Take him outside the camp. All those who heard him say those things must place their hands on his head. Then the whole community must kill him by throwing stones at him.15Say to the Israelites, “Anyone who curses me will be held accountable.16Anyone who speaks evil things against my Name must be put to death. The whole community must kill them by throwing stones at them. It does not matter whether they are an outsider or an Israelite. When they speak evil things against my Name, they must be put to death.17‘ “Anyone who kills another human being must be put to death.18Anyone who kills someone’s animal must pay its owner. A life must be taken for a life.19Suppose someone hurts their neighbour. Then what they have done must be done to them.20A bone must be broken for a bone. An eye must be put out for an eye. A tooth must be knocked out for a tooth. The one who has hurt his neighbour must be hurt in the same way.21Whoever kills an animal must pay its owner. But if they kill a human being, they must be put to death.22The same law applies whether they are an outsider or an Israelite. I am the LORD your God.” ’23Then Moses spoke to the Israelites. They got the man who had spoken evil things against the LORD. They took him outside the camp. There they killed him by throwing stones at him. The Israelites did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
