The Lamps and the Bread Before Yahweh

1Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,2“Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you clear oil from beaten olives for the[†]light, to make a lamp[†]burn continually.3Outside the veil of testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh continually;it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations.4He shall keep the lamps in order on the puregold lampstand before Yahweh continually.

5“Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it; two-tenthsof an ephah shall bein each cake.6And you shall set themin two rows, sixto a row, on the puregold table before Yahweh.7And you shall put pure frankincense on each row that it may be a memorial portion for the bread,even an offering by fire to Yahweh.8Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually; it is an everlasting covenant[†]for the sons of Israel.9And it 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 offerings to Yahweh by fire,his portion forever.”

10Now 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.11And the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)12And they put him in[†]custody[†]so that the command of Yahweh might be made clear to them.

13Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,14“Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then let all the congregation stone him.15And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone curses his God, then he will bear his sin.16Moreover, the one who blasphemes the name of Yahweh shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.

An Eye for an Eye

17‘If a man strikes down the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death.18And the one who strikes down the life of an animal shall make restitution for it, life for life.19If a man[†]injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so it shall be done to him:20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has[†]injured a man, so it shall be[†]inflicted on him.21Thus the one who strikes down an animal shall make restitution for it, but the one who strikes down a man shall be put to death.22There shall be onestandard of judgment for you; it shall be for the sojourner as well as the native, for I am Yahweh your God.’”23Then 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 Yahweh had commanded Moses.
