1 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 C ommand the children of Israel that they bring unto thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to light the lamp continually.

3 O utside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron dress it from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: an everlasting statute throughout your generations.

4 U pon the pure candlestick shall he arrange the lamps before Jehovah continually.

5 A nd thou shalt take fine wheaten flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof; each cake shall be of two tenths.

6 A nd thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah.

7 A nd thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row; and it shall be a bread of remembrance, an offering by fire to Jehovah.

8 E very sabbath day he shall arrange it before Jehovah continually, on the part of the children of Israel: an everlasting covenant.

9 A nd 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: an everlasting statute.

10 A nd 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 a nd 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 A nd they confined him, that they might decide at the mouth of Jehovah.

13 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

14 L ead the reviler outside the camp; and all that heard shall lay their hands upon his head, and the whole assembly shall stone him.

15 A nd thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Every one when he revileth his God shall bear his sin.

16 A nd 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 A nd if any one smiteth any man mortally, he shall certainly be put to death.

18 A nd he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.

19 A nd if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour, as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;

20 b reach 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 H e that smiteth a beast shall make it good; and he that smiteth a man shall be put to death.

22 Y e shall have one law: as the stranger, so the home-born; for I am Jehovah your God.

23 A nd 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.
