Leviticus 24

The Lamp and the Bread of the Sanctuary

1Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2“CommandH6680 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 that they bringH3947 to you 1clearH2134 oilH8081 from beatenH3795 olivesH2132 for the 2lightH3974, to make a lampH5216 3burnH5927 continuallyH8548. 3OutsideH4480H2351 the veilH6532 of the testimonyH5715 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150, AaronH175 shall keepH6186 it inH6186 orderH6186 from eveningH6153 to morningH1242 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 continuallyH8548; it shall be a permanentH5769 statuteH2708 throughout your generationsH1755. 4He shall keepH6186 the lampsH5216 inH6186 orderH6186 on the 4pureH2889 gold lampstandH4501 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 continuallyH8548.

5“5Then you shall takeH3947 fineH5560 flourH5560 and bakeH644 twelveH8147H6240 6cakesH2471 with it; 7two-tenthsH8147H6241 of an ephah shall be in eachH259 cakeH2471. 6And you shall setH7760 them in twoH8147 rowsH4635, sixH8337 to a rowH4635, on the 8pureH2889 gold tableH7979 beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 7You shall putH5414 pureH2134 frankincenseH3828 on each rowH4635 so that it may be 9a memorialH234 portionH234 for the breadH3899, an offeringH801 byH801 fireH801 to the LordH3068. 810Every SabbathH7676 dayH3117 he shall setH6186 it inH6186 orderH6186 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 11continuallyH8548; it is an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 12for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 9And 13it shall be for AaronH175 and his sonsH1121, and they shall eatH398 it in a holyH6918 placeH4725; for it is mostH6944 holyH6944 to him from the Lord’sH3068 offeringsH801 byH801 fireH801, his portionH2706 foreverH5769.”

10Now the sonH1121 of an IsraeliteH3482 womanH802--his fatherH1121H376 was an EgyptianH4713--wentH3318 outH3318 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; and the IsraeliteH3482 woman’sH3482 sonH1121 and an IsraeliteH3481 manH376 hadH5327 aH5327 fightH5327 within the campH4264. 11And the sonH1121 of the IsraeliteH3482 womanH802 blasphemedH6895 the 14NameH8034 and cursedH7043. So they broughtH935 him to MosesH4872. (Now his mother’sH517 nameH8034 was ShelomithH8019, the daughterH1323 of DibriH1704, of the tribeH4294 of DanH1835.) 12Then they putH5117 him in custodyH4929, waiting for Moses to giveH6567 them aH6567 clearH6567 decisionH6567 inH5921 accordanceH5921 withH5921 15the commandH6310 of the LordH3068.

13Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 14“BringH3318 the one who has cursedH7043 outsideH413H4480H2351 the campH4264, and have allH3605 who heardH8085 him 16layH5564 their handsH3027 on his headH7218; then 17have allH3605 the congregationH5712 stoneH7275 him. 15You shall also speakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ‘18IfH3588 anyoneH376 cursesH7043 his GodH430, then he will bearH5375 the responsibility for his sinH2399. 16Moreover, the one who 19blasphemesH5344 the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 mustH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191; allH3605 the congregationH5712 shall certainlyH7275 stoneH7275 him. The strangerH1616 as well as the nativeH249, when he blasphemesH5344 the NameH8034, shall be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191.

An Eye for an Eye

17‘Now 20ifH3588 someoneH376 21takesH5221 anyH3605 humanH120 lifeH5315, he mustH4191 be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191. 18But 22the one who 23takesH5221 the lifeH5315 of an animalH929 shall makeH7999 restitutionH7999, lifeH5315 for lifeH5315. 19IfH3588 someoneH376 injuresH5414H4140 his neighborH5997, justH3512 asH3512 he has doneH6213, soH3651 shall it be doneH6213 to him: 2024fractureH7667 for fractureH7667, 25eyeH5869 for eyeH5869, toothH8127 for toothH8127; justH3512 asH3512 he has injuredH5414H4140 a personH120, soH3651 shall it be 26inflictedH5414 on him. 21So the one who 27killsH5221 an animalH929 shall makeH7999 restitutionH7999, but 28the one who 29killsH5221 a personH120 shall be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191. 22There shall be only 30oneH259 31standardH4941 for you; it shall be for the strangerH1616 as well as the nativeH249, for I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’” 23Then MosesH4872 spokeH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and they broughtH3318 the one who had cursedH7043 outsideH413H4480H2351 the campH4264, and stonedH7275 him with stonesH68. So the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
