1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the children of
Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause
a lamp to burn continually. 3 Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the
Tent of Meeting, shall Aaron 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 gold lampstand
before Yahweh continually.
5 “You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenth parts
of an ephah shall be in one cake. 6 You shall set them in two rows, six on
a row, on the pure gold table before Yahweh. 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 Yahweh. 8 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in
order before Yahweh continually. It is on the behalf of the children of
Israel an everlasting covenant. 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 Yahweh made by fire by a perpetual statute.”
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. 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. 12 They
put him in custody, until the will of Yahweh should be declared to them.
13 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 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. 15 You shall speak to the children of Israel,
saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. 16 He who blasphemes
the name of Yahweh, 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.
17 “‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18 He who strikes a animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.
19 If anyone injures his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to
him: 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has
injured someone, so shall it be done to him. 21 He who kills an animal
shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
22 You shall have one kind of law, for the foreigner as well as the
native-born: for I am Yahweh your God.’”
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 Yahweh commanded Moses.
