Leviticus 24

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 The LORD said to Moses,	1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 "Order the Israelites to bring you clear oil of crushed olives for the light, so that you may keep lamps burning regularly.	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.
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,	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.
4 the lamps shall be set up on the pure gold lampstand, to burn regularly before the LORD.	4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.
5 "You shall take fine flour and bake it into twelve cakes, using two tenths of an ephah of flour for each cake.	5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.
6 These you shall place in two piles, six in each pile, on the pure gold table before the LORD.	6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before 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.	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.
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.	8 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.
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."	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.
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.	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;
11 This man quarreled publicly with another Israelite and cursed and blasphemed the LORD'S name. So the people brought him to Moses,	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:)
12 who kept him in custody till a decision from the LORD should settle the case for them.	12 And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.
13 The LORD then said to Moses,	13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
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.	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.
15 Tell the Israelites: Anyone who curses his God shall bear the penalty of his sin;	15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
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.	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.
17 "Whoever takes the life of any human being shall be put to death;	17 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
18 whoever takes the life of an animal shall make restitution of another animal. A life for a life!	18 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
19 Anyone who inflicts an injury on his neighbor shall receive the same in return.	19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
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.	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.
21 Whoever slays an animal shall make restitution, but whoever slays a man shall be put to death.	21 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
22 You shall have but one rule, for alien and native alike. I, the LORD, am your God."	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.
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.	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.
