[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.
