Leviticus Chapter 24

Leviticus Chapter 24
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying,
2 Command the children of Israel that
they bring unto thee pure oil olive
beaten, for the light, to cause the lamps
to burn continually.
3 Without the veil of the testimony, in the
tabernacle of the congregation, shall
Aaron dress them, both even and
morning before the Lord always: this
shall be a law forever through your
generations.
4 He shall dress the lamps upon the pure
candlestick before the Lord perpetually.
5 Also thou shalt take fine flour, and
bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth
deals shall be in one cake.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rows,
six in a row upon the pure table before
the Lord.
7 Thou shalt also put pure incense upon
the rows, that instead of the bread it may
be for a remembrance, and an offering
made by fire to the Lord. 8 Every
Sabbath he shall put them in rows before
the Lord
evermore, receiving them of the
children of Israel for an everlasting
covenant. 9 And the bread shall be
Aaron’s and his sons’, and they shall eat
it in the holy place: for it is most holy
unto him of the offerings of the Lord
made by fire by a perpetual ordinance.
10 And there went out among the
children of Israel the son of an
Israelitish woman, whose father was an
Egyptian: and this son of the Israelitish
woman, and a man of Israel strove
together in the host.
11 So the Israelitish woman’s son
blasphemed the name of the Lord, and
cursed, and they brought him unto Moses
(his mother’s name also was Shelomith,
the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of
Dan)
12 And they put him inward, till he told
them the mind of the Lord. 13 Then the
Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
14 Bring the blasphemer without the
host, and let all that heard him, put their
hands upon his head, and let all the
congregation stone him.
15 And thou shalt speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, Whosoever
curseth his God, shall bear his sin.
16 And he that blasphemeth the name of
the Lord, shall be put to death: all the
congregation shall stone him to death: as
well the stranger, as he that is born in the
land: when he blasphemeth the name of
the Lord, let him be slain. 17 He also
that killeth any man, he shall be put to
death.
18 And he that killeth a beast, he shall
restore it, beast for beast. 19 Also if a
man cause any blemish in his neighbor:
as he hath done, so shall it be done to
him.
20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth
for tooth: such a blemish as he hath made
in any, such shall be repaid to him.
21 And he that killeth a beast shall
restore it: but he that killeth a man shall
be slain.
22 Ye shall have one law: it shall be as
well for the stranger as for one born in
the country: for I am the Lord your God.
23 Then Moses told the children of
Israel, and they brought the blasphemer
out of the host, and stoned him with
stones: so the children of Israel did as
the Lord had commanded Moses.
