24
1 The
LORD spoke to
Moses, saying,
2 “Command
the children of
Israel, that they
bring to you
pure olive oil
beaten for the
light, to cause a
lamp to burn
continually.
3 Outside
of the veil
of the Testimony,
in the Tent of
Meeting, Aaron
shall keep it
in order from
evening to morning
before the LORD
continually. It
shall be a
statute forever
throughout your
generations.
4 He
shall keep in
order the lamps
on the pure gold
lamp stand before
the LORD
continually.
5 “You
shall take fine
flour, and bake
twelve cakes of
it: two tenths of
an ephah
shall be in
one cake.
6 You
shall set them
in two rows,
six on a
row, on the
pure gold table
before the LORD.
7 You
shall put pure
frankincense on
each row, that
it may be
to the bread
for a memorial,
even an offering
made by fire to
the LORD.
8 Every
Sabbath day he
shall set it
in order before
the LORD
continually. It is
an everlasting
covenant on
the behalf of the
children of Israel.
9 It
shall be for Aaron
and his sons.
They shall eat it
in a holy
place; for it
is most holy
to him of
the offerings of
the LORD made
by fire by a
perpetual statute.”
10 The
son of an
Israelite woman, whose
father was an
Egyptian, went out
among the children
of Israel; and
the son of
the Israelite woman
and a man
of Israel strove
together in the
camp.
11 The
son of the
Israelite woman
blasphemed the
Name, and cursed;
and they brought
him to Moses.
His mother’s name
was Shelomith, the
daughter of Dibri,
of the tribe
of Dan.
12 They
put him in
custody until the
LORD’s will should
be declared to
them.
13 The
LORD spoke to
Moses, saying,
14 “Bring
him who cursed
out of the
camp; and let all
who heard him
lay their hands
on his head,
and let all the
congregation stone
him.
15 You
shall speak to
the children of
Israel, saying, ‘Whoever
curses his God
shall bear his
sin.
16 He
who blasphemes the
LORD’s name, he
shall surely be
put to death.
All the
congregation shall
certainly stone
him. The foreigner
as well as
the native-born shall
be put to
death when he
blasphemes the
Name.
17 “ ‘He
who strikes any
man mortally shall
surely be put
to death.
18 He
who strikes
an animal mortally
shall make it
good, life for
life.
19 If
anyone injures his
neighbor, it shall
be done to
him as he
has done:
20 fracture
for fracture, eye
for eye, tooth
for tooth. It
shall be done
to him as
he has injured
someone.
21 He
who kills an animal
shall make it
good; and he
who kills a
man shall be
put to death.
22 You
shall have one
kind of law
for the foreigner
as well as
the native-born; for
I am the
LORD your God.’ ”
23 Moses
spoke to the
children of Israel;
and they brought
him who had
cursed out of
the camp, and
stoned him
with stones. The
children of Israel
did as the
LORD commanded
Moses.
