| Chapter 24 |
1 |
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, |
2 |
Command the children of Israel that they bring unto thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to light the lamp continually. |
3 |
Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron dress it from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: it is an everlasting statute throughout your generations. |
4 |
Upon the pure candlestick shall he arrange the lamps before Jehovah continually. |
5 |
And thou shalt take fine wheaten flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof; each cake shall be of two tenths. |
6 |
And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah. |
7 |
And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row; and it shall be a bread of remembrance, an offering by fire to Jehovah. |
8 |
Every sabbath day he shall arrange it before Jehovah continually, on the part of the children of Israel: it is an everlasting covenant. |
9 |
And it shall be Aaron`s and his sons`; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him of Jehovah`s offerings by fire: it is an everlasting statute. |
10 |
And the son of an Israelitish woman -- but withal the son of an Egyptian, -- went out among the children of Israel; and this son of the Israelitess and a man of Israel strove together in the camp; |
11 |
and the Israelitish woman`s son blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. And his mother`s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. |
12 |
And they confined him, that they might decide at the mouth of Jehovah. |
13 |
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, |
14 |
Lead the reviler outside the camp; and all that heard him shall lay their hands upon his head, and the whole assembly shall stone him. |
15 |
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Every one when he revileth his God shall bear his sin. |
16 |
And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah shall certainly be put to death; all the assembly shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger as he that is home-born, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death. |
17 |
And if any one smiteth any man mortally, he shall certainly 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 neighbour, 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 done to him. |
21 |
He that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good; and he that smiteth a man mortally shall be put to death. |
22 |
Ye shall have one law: as the stranger, so the home-born; for I am Jehovah your God. |
23 |
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they led the reviler outside the camp and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses. |
