Leviticus 24

The Lamps

1 aThe Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 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 blampstand of pure gold ▼
▼Hebrew  the pure lampstand
 before the Lord regularly.

Bread for the Tabernacle

5“You shall take fine flour and bake twelve dloaves from it; two tenths of an ephah ▼
▼An  ephah was about 3/5 bushel or 22 liters
 shall be in each loaf. 6And you shall set them in two piles, six in a pile, fon the table of pure gold ▼
▼Hebrew  the pure table
 before the Lord. 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. 8 hEvery Sabbath day Aaron shall arrange it before the Lord regularly; it is from the people of Israel as a covenant forever. 9And iit shall be for Aaron and his sons, and jthey 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.”

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 kblasphemed the lName, and cursed. Then they mbrought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. 12And nthey put him in custody, otill the will of the Lord should be clear to them.

13Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 14 p“Bring out of the camp the one who cursed, and let all who heard him qlay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 15And speak to the people of Israel, saying, Whoever curses his God shall rbear his sin. 16Whoever sblasphemes 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.

An Eye for an Eye

17 t“Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death. 18 uWhoever takes an animal’s life shall make it good, life for life. 19If anyone injures his neighbor, vas he has done it shall be done to him, 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him. 21 wWhoever kills an animal shall make it good, xand whoever kills a person shall be put to death. 22You shall have the ysame rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God.” 23So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and zthey 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.
