NHEBJE - Leviticus - 24

24:1  Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

24:2  "Com-mand the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.

24:3  Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.

24:4  He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold menorah before Jehovah continually.

24:5  "You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenth parts of an ephah shall be in one cake.

24:6  You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before Jehovah.

24:7  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 Jehovah.

24:8  Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before Jehovah continually. It is on the behalf of the children of Israel an everlasting covenant.

24:9  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 Jehovah made by fire by a perpetual statute."

24:10  The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.

24:11  The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

24:12  They put him in custody, until the will of Jehovah should be declared to them.

24:13  Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

24:14  "Bring out of the camp him who cursed; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

24:15  You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.

24:16  He who blasphemes the name of Jehovah, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: the foreigner as well as the native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

24:17  "'He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.

24:18  He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.

24:19  If anyone injures his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him:

24:20  fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has injured someone, so shall it be done to him.

24:21  He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.

24:22  You shall have one kind of law, for the foreigner as well as the native-born: for I am Jehovah your God.'"

24:23  Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses.
