- And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
- 2
- Command the children of Israel that they bring unto thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to light the lamp continually.
- 3
- Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron dress it from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your generations.
- 4
- Upon the pure candlestick shall he arrange the lamps before Jehovah continually.
- 5
- And thou shalt take fine wheaten flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof;
each cake shall be of two tenths.
- 6
- And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah.
- 7
- And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row;
and it shall be a bread of remembrance, an offering by fire to Jehovah.
- 8
- Every sabbath day he shall arrange it before Jehovah continually, on the part of the children of Israel: [it is] an everlasting covenant.
- 9
- And it shall be Aaron's and his sons';
and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him of Jehovah's offerings by fire: [it is] an everlasting statute.
- 10
- And the son of an Israelitish woman — but withal the son of an Egyptian, — went out among the children of Israel;
and this son of the Israelitess and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
- 11
- and the Israelitish woman's son 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 confined him, that they might decide at the mouth of Jehovah.
- 13
- And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
- 14
- Lead the reviler outside the camp;
and all that heard [him] shall lay their hands upon his head, and the whole assembly shall stone him.
- 15
- And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Every one when he revileth his God shall bear his sin.
- 16
- And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah shall certainly be put to death;
all the assembly shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger as he that is home-born, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death.
- 17
- And if any one smiteth any man mortally, he shall certainly be put to death.
- 18
- And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.
- 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.
- 21
- He that smiteth a beast [mortally] shall make it good;
and he that smiteth a man [mortally] shall be put to death.
- 22
- Ye shall have one law: as the stranger, so the home-born;
for I am Jehovah your God.
- 23
- And Moses spoke to the children of Israel;
and they led the reviler outside the camp and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
