Leviticus, 24

1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

1. Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

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.

2. "Command the Israelites to bring you oil from pressed olives for the light, that a lamp may be kept burning continually.

3. Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: [it shall be] a statute for ever in your generations.

3. Aaron shall keep the flame in order from evening until morning in the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil of the Statement. It shall be a lasting ordinance for all generations.

4. He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.

4. He shall set the lamps on the pure gold lampstand to burn continually before Yahweh.

5. And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.

5. Then you shall take fine flour and make twelve cakes, two-tenths of a measure in each cake.

6. And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.

6. Place them in two rows, six in each, on the pure gold table before Yahweh.

7. And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon [each] row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, [even] an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

7. On each row put pure frankincense, so that the bread may be a memorial, as an offering by fire to Yahweh.

8. Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, [being taken] from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.

8. Every sabbath Aaron shall set the bread in order before Yahweh on behalf of the Israelites as a lasting covenant.

9. And it 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 statute.

9. The bread will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to consider it as a most holy portion of the sacrifices by fire to Yahweh and they shall eat it in a holy place. This is a lasting law."

10. And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father [was] an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish [woman] and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;

10. The son of an Israelite woman quarreled with a man of Israel in the camp and

11. And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name [of the LORD], and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name [was] Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)

11. the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the name of Yahweh with a curse, so they brought him to Moses. (His mother was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan).

12. And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.

12. They put him under guard until a decision from Yahweh would be made known.

13. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

13. Yahweh said to Moses, "Take the man who has cursed out of the camp.

14. Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard [him] lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

14. All who have heard him curse will lay their hands on his head and the entire assembly shall stone him to death.

15. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

15. Then say this to the sons of Israel: The man who curses God shall pay for his sin

16. And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, [and] all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name [of the LORD], shall be put to death.

16. and whoever blasphemes the name of Yahweh shall be put to death. The whole assembly shall stone him; the alien, like the native, shall be put to death when he blasphemes the Name.

17. And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.

17. Whoever kills a man shall be put to death.

18. And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.

18. Whoever kills an animal shall replace the loss, life for life.

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

19. If a man injures his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him.

20. Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him [again].

20. Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, just as he has injured another, so shall it be done to him.

21. And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

21. He who kills a beast shall make up for it, and he who kills a man shall be put to death.

22. Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I [am] the LORD your God.

22. There shall be one law, the same for the alien and the native, for I am Yahweh, your God."

23. And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.

23. So Moses spoke to the Israelites and they brought the man who had cursed outside the camp and stoned him. In this way the Israelites did as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
