Leviticus 24

1 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the sons of Israel, and they will bring pure oil of beaten olive to you for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually. 3 Aaron will arrange it at the outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, from evening until morning before YHWH continually—a continuous statute throughout your generations. 4 He will arrange the lights on the pure lampstand before YHWH continually. 5 And you take flour, and bake twelve cakes with it, two-tenth parts are in one cake, 6 and you set them in two rows (six in the row) on the pure table before YHWH, 7 and you put pure frankincense on the row, and it will be with the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to YHWH. 8 On each Sabbath day he will arrange it before YHWH continually, from the sons of Israel—a perpetual covenant. 9 And it will be for Aaron and for his sons, and they will eat it in the holy place, for it is most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of YHWH—a continuous statute.” 10 And a son of an Israeli woman goes out (and he is son of an Egyptian man) in the middle of the sons of Israel, and the son of the Israeli woman and a man of Israel strove in the camp, 11 and the son of the Israeli woman execrated the Name and reviled. And they brought him to Moses. And his mother’s name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. 12 And he causes him to rest in confinement —to explain to them by the mouth of YHWH. 13 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 14 “Bring out the reviler to the outside of the camp. And all those hearing will lay their hands on his head, and all the congregation will stone him. 15 And you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When any man reviles his God—then he will bear his sin. 16 And he who is execrating the name of YHWH will be certainly put to death. All the congregation will certainly throw stones at him. As a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, he will be put to death. 17 And when a man strikes any soul of man, he will be certainly put to death. 18 And he who strikes a beast repays it, body for body. 19 And when a man puts a blemish in his fellow, as he has done so it will be done to him. 20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he puts a blemish in a man so it will be done in him. 21 And he who strikes a beast repays it, and he who strikes the life of man will be put to death. 22 One judgment is for you. As a sojourner so will be a native. For I am your God YHWH.” 23 And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought out the reviler to the outside of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the sons of Israel did as YHWH had commanded Moses.
