1
And the Lord spoke to Moses , saying:
2
Command the children of Israel , that they bring unto thee the finest and dearest oil of olives , to furnish the lamps continually,
3
Without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall set them from evening until morning before the Lord , by a perpetual service and rite in your generations .
4
They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
5
Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf :
6
And thou shalt set them six and six one against another upon the most clean table before the Lord :
7
And thou shalt put upon them the dearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of the Lord .
8
Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord , being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant:
9
And they shall be Aaron 's and his sons', that they may eat them in the holy place : because it is most holy of the sacrifices of the Lord by a perpetual right.
10
And behold there went out the son of a woman of Israel , whom she had of an Egyptian, among the children of Israel , and fell at words in the camp with a man of Israel .
11
And when he had blasphemed the name , and had cursed it, he was brought to Moses : (now his mother was called Salumith, the daughter of Dabri, of the tribe of Dan :)
12
And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.
13
And the Lord spoke to Moses ,
14
Saying: Bring forth the blasphemer without the camp , and let them that heard him, put their hands upon his head , and let all the people stone him.
15
And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel : the man that curseth his God , shall bear his sin:
16
And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord , dying let him die : all the multitude shall stone him, whether he be a native or a stranger. He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord , dying let him die .
17
He that striketh and killeth a man , dying let him die .
18
He that killeth a beast , shall make it good, that is to say , shall give beast for beast .
19
He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:
20
Breach for breach, eye for eye , tooth for tooth , shall he restore. What blemish he gave, the like shall he be compelled to suffer.
21
He that striketh a beast , shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished.
22
Let there be equal judgment among you, whether he be a stranger, or a native that offends: because I am the Lord your God .
23
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel : and they brought forth him that had blasphemed, without the camp , and they stoned him. And the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses .
