Leviticus 24

1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,2 Command the sons of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.3 Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.4 He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure candlestick before Yahweh continually.5 And you shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts [of an ephah] shall be in one cake.6 And you shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure table before Yahweh.7 And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to Yahweh.8 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually; it is on the behalf of the sons of Israel, an everlasting covenant.9 And it shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire by a perpetual statute.

10 And a son of a woman of Israel, who was also a son of a man of Egypt, went out among the sons of Israel; and the son of the Israeli woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp:11 and the son of the Israeli woman 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 put him in ward, that it might be declared to them at the mouth of Yahweh.13 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,14 Bring forth him that has cursed outside the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.15 And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, Any man who curses his God shall bear his sin.16 And he that blasphemes the name of Yahweh, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the sojourner, as the home-born, when he blasphemes the name [of Yahweh], shall be put to death.17 And a man that smites any life of man, shall surely be put to death.18 And he that smites a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.19 And if a man causes a blemish in his neighbor; as he has done, so it shall be done to him:20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused a blemish in man, so it shall be rendered to him.21 And he that kills a beast shall make it good: and he that kills man shall be put to death.22 You shall have one manner of law, as well for the sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Yahweh your God.23 And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel; and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the sons of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
