Leviticus 24

¹And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

²Command the sons of Israel to bring to you pure beaten olive oil for the lamp, to keep a lamp burning continually.

³Outside the curtain of the testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall arrange it from evening to morning before the LORD continually. It is an everlasting statute throughout your generations.

⁴On the pure lampstand he shall arrange the lamps before the LORD continually.

⁵And you shall take fine flour and bake it into twelve loaves; two tenths shall each loaf be.

⁶And you shall set them in two rows, six per row, on the pure table before the LORD.

⁷And you shall put pure frankincense on the row, and it shall be for the bread as a memorial portion — a food offering to the LORD.

⁸Every Sabbath he shall arrange it before the LORD continually, from the sons of Israel — an everlasting covenant.

⁹And it shall belong to Aaron and to his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, for it is most holy — for him, from the food offerings of the LORD; a perpetual statute.

¹⁰And the son of an Israelite woman went out — and he was the son of an Egyptian man — among the sons of Israel, and they fought in the camp — the son of the Israelite woman and an Israelite man.

¹¹And the son of the Israelite woman pronounced the Name and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. Now the name of his mother was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

¹²And they put him in custody, to declare to them by the mouth of the LORD.

¹³And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

¹⁴Bring out the one who cursed to outside the camp, and all those who heard shall lay their hands upon his head, and all the congregation shall stone him.

¹⁵And to the children of Israel you shall speak, saying: Any man who curses his God shall bear his sin.

¹⁶And whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him. Sojourner and native-born alike, when he blasphemes the Name, he shall be put to death.

¹⁷And if a man strikes any life of a human being, he shall surely be put to death.

¹⁸And whoever strikes the life of an animal shall make restitution for it — life for life.

¹⁹And if a man inflicts a blemish on his fellow, as he has done, so shall it be done to him.

²⁰Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth — just as he inflicts a blemish on a person, so shall it be inflicted on him.

²¹And one who strikes an animal shall make restitution for it, but one who strikes a person shall be put to death.

²²One judgment shall be for you — as for the sojourner, as for the native-born it shall be — for I am the Lord, God of you all.

²³And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought out the one cursing to outside the camp, and they stoned him with stone; and the sons of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
