“1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Command the children of
Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light,
to cause the lamps to burn continually. 3 Without 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. 4 He shall order the lamps
upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually. 5 And thou shalt
take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be
in one cake. 6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon
the pure table before the LORD. 7 And 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. 8 Every sabbath he shall set it in
order before the LORD continually, [being taken] from the children of
Israel by an everlasting covenant. 9 And it shall be Aaron’s and his
sons’; and 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.”
“10 And 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; 11
And the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name [of the LORD], and
cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother’s name [was]
Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:) 12 And they put
him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them. 13 And the
LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 14 Bring forth him that hath cursed
without the camp; and let all that heard [him] lay their hands upon his
head, and let all the congregation stone him. 15 And thou shalt speak
unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall
bear his sin. 16 And he that blasphemeth 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
blasphemeth the name [of the LORD], shall be put to death. 17 And he
that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. 18 And he that
killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast. 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 [again]. 21 And he
that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he
shall be put to death. 22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for
the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I [am] the LORD your
God. 23 And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that 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.” (Le
24:1-23 AV)
