Leviticus 24

1And the Lord said to Moses,● 2Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,● 3Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations.● 4Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.● 5And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.● 6And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.● 7And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord.● 8Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever.● 9And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.● 10And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents;● 11And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.● 12And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.● 13And the Lord said to Moses,● 14Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people.● 15And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.● 16And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death.● 17And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.● 18And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.● 19And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;● 20Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him.● 21He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.● 22You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God.● 23And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.●
