1 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 ` Command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure olive oil, beaten, for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually;

“Command the children of Israel that they bring to you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to make the lamps burn continually.

3 a t the outside of the vail of the testimony in the tent of meeting doth Aaron arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah continually -- a statute age-during to your generations;

Outside the veil of the Testimony, in the tabernacle of meeting, Aaron shall be in charge of it from evening until morning before the Lord continually; it shall be a statute forever in your generations.

4 b y the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.

He shall be in charge of the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually. The Bread of the Tabernacle

5 ` And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,

“And you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it. Two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake.

6 a nd thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,

You shall set them in two rows, six in a row, on the pure gold table before the Lord.

7 a nd thou hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah.

And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

8 ` On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel -- a covenant age-during;

Every Sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.

9 a nd it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah -- a statute age-during.'

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 from the offerings of the Lord made by fire, by a perpetual statute.” The Penalty for Blasphemy

10 A nd a son of an Israelitish woman goeth out (and he son of an Egyptian man), in the midst of the sons of Israel, and strive in the camp do the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel,

Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and this Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought each other in the camp.

11 a nd the son of the Israelitish woman execrateth the Name, and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his mother's name Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;

And the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the name of the Lord and cursed; and so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)

12 a nd he causeth him to rest in charge -- to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.

Then they put him in custody, that the mind of the Lord might be shown to them.

13 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

14 ` Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him.

“Take outside the camp him who has cursed; then let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

15 ` And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God -- then he hath borne his sin;

“Then you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.

16 a nd he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.

And whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him, the stranger as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall be put to death.

17 ` And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.

‘Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death.

18 ` And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.

Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, animal for animal.

19 ` And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he hath done so it is done to him;

‘If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him—

20 b reach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him.

fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it be done to him.

21 ` And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth man is put to death;

And whoever kills an animal shall restore it; but whoever kills a man shall be put to death.

22 o ne judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I Jehovah your God.'

You shall have the same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the Lord your God.’”

23 A nd Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones; and the sons of Israel have done as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

Then Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they took outside the camp him who had cursed, and stoned him with stones. So the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
