Leviticus 24
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Charge the children of Israel, and
let them take for thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to burn a lamp
continually, 3 outside the veil in the
tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and his sons shall burn it from evening until
morning before the Lord continually, a perpetual statute throughout your
generations. 4 Ye shall burn the lamps
on the pure lamp-stand before the Lord till the morrow.
5 And ye shall take fine flour, and
make of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be of two tenth parts.
6 And ye shall put them
in two rows, each row
containing six loaves, on the pure table before the
Lord. 7 And ye shall put on
each row pure frankincense and salt; and
these things shall be for loaves for a memorial, set
forth before the Lord. 8 On the
sabbath-day they shall be set forth before the Lord continually before the
children of Israel, for an everlasting covenant.
9 And they shall be for Aaron and his
sons, and they shall eat them in the holy place: for this is their most holy
portion of the offerings made to the Lord, a perpetual statute.
10 And there went forth a son of an
Israelitish woman, and he was son of an Egyptian man among the sons of Israel;
and they fought in the camp, the son of the Israelitish woman, and a man who
was an Israelite. 11 And the son of
the Israelitish woman named THE NAME and cursed; and they brought him to
Moses: and his mother's name was Salomith, daughter of Dabri of the tribe of
Dan. 12 And they put him in ward, to
judge him by the command of the Lord.
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, 14 Bring forth him that
cursed outside the camp, and all who heard shall lay their hands upon his
head, and all the congregation shall stone him.
15 And speak to the sons of Israel,
and thou shalt say to them, Whosoever shall curse God shall bear his sin.
16 And he that names the name of the
Lord, let him die the death: let all the congregation of Israel stone him with
stones; whether he be a stranger or a native, let him die for naming the name
of the Lord. 17 And whosoever shall
smite a man and he die, let him die the death.
18 And whosoever shall smite a beast,
and it shall die, let him render life for life.
19 And whosoever shall inflict a
blemish on his neighbour, as he has done to him, so shall it be done to
himself in return; 20 bruise for
bruise, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as any one may inflict a blemish on a
man, so shall it be rendered to him.
21 Whosoever shall smite a man, and
he shall die, let him die the death.
22 There shall be one judgment for
the stranger and the native, for I am the Lord your
God. 23 And Moses spoke to the
children of Israel, and they brought him that had cursed out of the camp, and
stoned him with stones: and the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded
Moses.
