| 1 | The LORD spoke to Moses, saying: |
| 2 | Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly. |
| 3 | Aaron shall set it up in the tent of meeting, outside the curtain of the covenant, to burn from evening to morning before the LORD regularly; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. |
| 4 | He shall set up the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold before the LORD regularly. |
| 5 | You shall take choice flour, and bake twelve loaves of it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each loaf. |
| 6 | You shall place them in two rows, six in a row, on the table of pure gold. |
| 7 | You shall put pure frankincense with each row, to be a token offering for the bread, as an offering by fire to the LORD. |
| 8 | Every sabbath day Aaron shall set them in order before the LORD regularly as a commitment of the people of Israel, as a covenant forever. |
| 9 | They shall be for Aaron and his descendants, who shall eat them in a holy place, for they are most holy portions for him from the offerings by fire to the LORD, a perpetual due. |
| 10 | A man whose mother was an Israelite and whose father was an Egyptian came out among the people of Israel; and the Israelite woman’s son and a certain Israelite began fighting in the camp. |
| 11 | The Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the Name in a curse. And they brought him to Moses — now his mother’s name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan — |
| 12 | and they put him in custody, until the decision of the LORD should be made clear to them. |
| 13 | The LORD said to Moses, saying: |
| 14 | Take the blasphemer outside the camp; and let all who were within hearing lay their hands on his head, and let the whole congregation stone him. |
| 15 | And speak to the people of Israel, saying: Anyone who curses God shall bear the sin. |
| 16 | One who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall be put to death; the whole congregation shall stone the blasphemer. Aliens as well as citizens, when they blaspheme the Name, shall be put to death. |
| 17 | Anyone who kills a human being shall be put to death. |
| 18 | Anyone who kills an animal shall make restitution for it, life for life. |
| 19 | Anyone who maims another shall suffer the same injury in return: |
| 20 | fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; the injury inflicted is the injury to be suffered. |
| 21 | One who kills an animal shall make restitution for it; but one who kills a human being shall be put to death. |
| 22 | You shall have one law for the alien and for the citizen: for I am the LORD your God. |
| 23 | Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel; and they took the blasphemer outside the camp, and stoned him to death. The people of Israel did as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
