| 1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Command the children of
Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to
cause a lamp to burn continually. 3 Without the veil of the testimony, in
the tent of meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning
before Jehovah continually: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your
generations. 4 He shall keep in order the lamps upon the pure candlestick
before Jehovah continually.
5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth
parts of an ephah shall be in one cake. 6 And thou shalt set them
in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah. 7 And thou
shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be to the bread for a
memorial, even an offering made by fire unto Jehovah. 8 Every sabbath day
he shall set it in order before Jehovah continually; it is on the behalf of
the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant. 9 And it shall be for
Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most
holy unto him of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire by a perpetual
statute.
10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went
out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelitish woman and a
man of Israel strove together in the camp: 11 and the son of the
Israelitish woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him unto
Moses. And his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the
tribe of Dan. 12 And they put him in ward, that it might be declared unto
them at the mouth of Jehovah.
13 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 14 Bring forth him that hath
cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his
head, and let all the congregation stone him. 15 And thou shalt speak unto
the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
16 And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah, he shall surely be put to
death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the sojourner,
as the home-born, when he blasphemeth the name of Jehovah, shall be
put to death. 17 And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put
to death. 18 And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life
for life. 19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he hath
done, so shall it be done to him: 20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth
for tooth; as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto
him. 21 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: and he that
killeth a man shall be put to death. 22 Ye shall have one manner of law,
as well for the sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Jehovah your God.
23 And Moses spake to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him
that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children
of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses.
