¹The 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 .

³Outside 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 .

⁴He 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 efah shall be in one cake .[#24:5 1 efah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel]

⁶You shall set them in two rows , six on a row , on the pure gold table before the LORD .

⁷You 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 .

⁸Every 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 .

⁹It 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 .”

¹⁰The 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 .

¹¹The 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 .

¹²They put him in custody until the LORD ’s will should be declared to them .

¹³The 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 .

¹⁵You shall speak to the children of Israel , saying , ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin .

¹⁶He 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 .

¹⁸He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good , life for life .

¹⁹If anyone injures his neighbour , it shall be done to him as he has done :

²⁰fracture for fracture , eye for eye , tooth for tooth . It shall be done to him as he has injured someone .

²¹He who kills an animal shall make it good ; and he who kills a man shall be put to death .

²²You shall have one kind of law for the foreigner as well as the native-born; for I am the LORD your God .’”

²³Moses 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 .
