| Chapter 24 |
1 |
Yahweh 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, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. --
|
4 |
He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure lampstand before Yahweh continually. --
|
5 |
You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenth parts [of an ephah] shall be in one cake. --
|
6 |
You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure table before Yahweh. --
|
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 Yahweh. --
|
8 |
Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant. --
|
9 |
It shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of Yahweh 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 |
and 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, that it might be declared to them at the mouth of Yahweh. --
|
13 |
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, --
|
14 |
Bring forth him who has cursed outside 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 name of Yahweh, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the sojourner, as the home-born, when he blasphemes the name [of Yahweh], shall be put to death. --
|
17 |
He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death. --
|
18 |
He who strikes a animal mortally shall make it good, life for life. --
|
19 |
If a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him: --
|
20 |
breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered to him. --
|
21 |
He who kills a animal shall make it good: and he who kills a man shall be put to death. --
|
22 |
You shall have one manner of law, as well for the sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Yahweh your God. --
|
23 |
Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses. --
