Leviticus 24

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:	1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 'Order the Israelites to bring you crushed-olive oil for the lamp-stand, and keep a flame burning therecontinual y.	2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and dearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually,
3 Aaron wil keep it permanently in trim from evening to morning, outside the curtain of the Testimony inthe Tent of Meeting, before Yahweh. This is a perpetual decree for your descendants:	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 Aaron wil keep the lamps permanently trimmed on the pure lamp-stand before Yahweh.	4 They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.
5 'You will take wheaten flour and with it bake twelve loaves, each of two-tenths of an ephah.	5 Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf :
6 You will then place them in two rows of six on the pure table before Yahweh	6 And thou shalt set them six and six one against another upon the most clean table before the Lord:
7 and put pure incense on each row, to make it food offered as a memorial, food burnt for Yahweh.	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 wil be arranged before Yahweh. The Israelites wil provide them as a permanentcovenant.	8 Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord, being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant:
9 They wil belong to Aaron and his sons, who wil eat them inside the holy place since, for him, they arean especial y holy part of the food burnt for Yahweh. This is a permanent law.'	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 There was a man whose mother was an Israelite woman and whose father was an Egyptian. Hecame out of his house and, in the camp, surrounded by the Israelites, he began to quarrel with a man who wasan Israelite.	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 Now the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name and cursed it. He was then taken toMoses (his mother's name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan).	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 He was then put under guard until Yahweh's will should be made clear to them.	12 And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.
13 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:	13 And the Lord spoke to Moses,
14 'Take the man who pronounced the curse outside the camp. Al those who heard him must then laytheir hands on his head, and the whole community must then stone him.	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 Then say to the Israelites: "Anyone who curses his God will bear the consequences of his sin,	15 And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: the man that curseth his God, shall bear his sin:
16 and anyone who blasphemes the name of Yahweh wil be put to death; the whole community wilstone him; be he alien or native-born, if he blasphemes the Name, he wil be put to death.	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 "Anyone who strikes down any other human being will be put to death.	17 He that striketh and killeth a man, dying let him die.
18 "Anyone who strikes down an animal will make restitution for it: a life for a life.	18 He that killeth a beast, shall make it good, that is to say, shall give beast for beast.
19 "Anyone who injures a neighbour shall receive the same in return,	19 He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:
20 broken limb for broken limb, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As the injury inflicted, so will be the injurysuffered.	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 Whoever strikes down an animal wil make restitution for it, and whoever strikes down a human beingwil be put to death.	21 He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished.
22 The sentence you pass wil be the same, whether on native-born or on alien; for I am Yahweh yourGod." '	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 Moses having told the Israelites this, they took the man who had pronounced the curse out of thecamp and stoned him. And so the Israelites carried out Yahweh's order to Moses.	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.
