Leviticus 24

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:	1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and dearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually,	2 "Order the Israelites to bring you clear oil of crushed olives for the light, so that you may keep lamps burning regularly.
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.	3 In the meeting tent, outside the veil that hangs in front of the commandments, Aaron shall set up the lamps to burn before the LORD regularly, from evening till morning. Thus, by a perpetual statute for you and your descendants,
4 They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.	4 the lamps shall be set up on the pure gold lampstand, to burn regularly before the LORD.
5 Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf :	5 "You shall take fine flour and bake it into twelve cakes, using two tenths of an ephah of flour for each cake.
6 And thou shalt set them six and six one against another upon the most clean table before the Lord:	6 These you shall place in two piles, six in each pile, on the pure gold 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.	7 On each pile put some pure frankincense, which shall serve as an oblation to the LORD, a token offering for the bread.
8 Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord, being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant:	8 Regularly on each sabbath day this bread shall be set out afresh before the LORD, offered on the part of the Israelites by an everlasting agreement.
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.	9 It shall belong to Aaron and his sons, who must eat it in a sacred place, since, as something most sacred among the various oblations to the LORD, it is his by 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.	10 Among the Israelites there was a man born of an Israelite mother (Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan) and an Egyptian father.
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:)	11 This man quarreled publicly with another Israelite and cursed and blasphemed the LORD'S name. So the people brought him to Moses,
12 And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.	12 who kept him in custody till a decision from the LORD should settle the case for them.
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses,	13 The LORD then said 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.	14 "Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and when all who heard him have laid their hands on his head, let the whole community stone him.
15 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: the man that curseth his God, shall bear his sin:	15 Tell the Israelites: Anyone who curses his God shall bear the penalty of 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.	16 whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD shall be put to death. The whole community shall stone him; alien and native alike must be put to death for blaspheming the LORD'S name.
17 He that striketh and killeth a man, dying let him die.	17 "Whoever takes the life of any human being shall be put to death;
18 He that killeth a beast, shall make it good, that is to say, shall give beast for beast.	18 whoever takes the life of an animal shall make restitution of another animal. A life for a life!
19 He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:	19 Anyone who inflicts an injury on his neighbor shall receive the same in return.
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.	20 Limb for limb, eye for eye, tooth for tooth! The same injury that a man gives another shall be inflicted on him in return.
21 He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished.	21 Whoever slays an animal shall make restitution, but whoever slays a man shall be put to death.
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.	22 You shall have but one rule, for alien and native alike. I, the LORD, am 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.	23 When Moses told this to the Israelites, they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him; they carried out the command that the LORD had given Moses.
