Chapter 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 amongst 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 neighbour , 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 .
