Leviticus 24

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ^2aCommand the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. ³Without the vail of the Testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the Lord continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations. ⁴He shall order the lamps upon ^bthe pure candlestick before the Lord continually.

⁵And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve ^ccakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake. ⁶And thou shalt set them in two ^drows, six on a row, ^eupon the pure table before the Lord. ⁷And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord. ^8fEvery sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. ⁹And ^git shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; ^hand they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, by a perpetual statute.

¹⁰And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp; ¹¹and the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name ⁱof the Lord, and ^jcursed. And they ^kbrought him unto Moses: (and his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:) ¹²and they ^lput him in ward, ^mthat the mind of the Lord might be shewed them. ¹³And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ¹⁴Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him ⁿlay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him. ¹⁵And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God ^oshall bear his sin. ¹⁶And he that ^pblasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he ^pblasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death. ^17qAnd he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. ^18rAnd he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast. ¹⁹And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as ^she hath done, so shall it be done to him; ²⁰breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again. ^21tAnd he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: ^uand he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death. ²²Ye shall have ^xone manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the Lord your God. ²³And Moses spake to the children of Israel, ^ythat they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
