Then the LORD spoke
to Moses
, saying
,
"Command the sons
of Israel
that they bring
to you aclear
oil
from beaten
olives
for the 1light
, to make a lamp
2burn
continually
.
"Outside the veil
of testimony
in the tent
of meeting
, Aaron
shall keep
it in order
from evening
to morning
before
the LORD
continually
; it shall be a perpetual
statute
throughout your generations
.
"He shall keep the lamps
in order
on the apure
gold lampstand
before
the LORD
continually
.
" aThen you shall take fine
flour
and bake
twelve
cakes
with it; two-tenths
of an ephah shall be in each
cake
.
"You shall set them in two
rows
, six
to a row
, on the apure
gold table
before
the LORD
.
"You shall put pure
frankincense
on each row
that it may be aa memorial
portion
for the bread
, even an offering
by fire
to the LORD
.
" aEvery sabbath day
he shall set
it in order
before
the LORD
bcontinually
; it is an everlasting
covenant
1for the sons
of Israel
.
" aIt 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 LORD'S
offerings
by fire
, his portion
forever
."
Now the son of an Israelite
woman
, whose father
was an Egyptian
, went
out among
the sons
of Israel
; and the Israelite
woman's
son
and a man
of Israel
struggled
with each other in the camp
.
The son of the Israelite
woman
blasphemed
the aName
and cursed
. So they brought
him to Moses
. (Now his mother's
name
was Shelomith
, the daughter
of Dibri
, of the tribe
of Dan
.)
They put him in 1custody
2so that athe command
of the LORD
might be made
clear
to them.
Then the LORD spoke
to Moses
, saying
,
"Bring the one who has cursed
outside
the camp
, and let all
who heard
him alay
their hands
on his head
; then blet all
the congregation
stone
him.
"You shall speak to the sons
of Israel
, saying
, ` aIf
anyone
curses
his God
, then he will bear
his sin
.
`Moreover, the one who ablasphemes the name
of the LORD
shall surely
be put
to death
; all
the congregation
shall certainly
stone
him. The alien
as well as the native
, when he blasphemes
the Name
, shall be put
to death
.
` aIf a man
1takes
the life
of any
human
being
, he shall surely
be put
to death
.
` aThe one who 1takes the life
of an animal
shall make
it good
, life
for life
.
`If a man
1injures
his neighbor
, just
as he has done
, so
it shall be done
to him:
afracture for fracture
, beye
for eye
, tooth
for tooth
; just
as he has 1injured
a man
, so
it shall be 2inflicted
on him.
`Thus the one who 1kills an animal
shall make
it good
, but athe one who 1kills
a man
shall be put
to death
.
`There shall be aone 1standard
for you; it shall be for the stranger
as well as the native
, for I am the LORD
your God
.' "
Then Moses spoke
to the sons
of Israel
, and they brought
the one who had cursed
outside
the camp
and stoned
him with stones
. Thus the sons
of Israel
did
, just
as the LORD
had commanded
Moses
.
