Leviticus 24

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,	1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:
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.	2 'Order the Israelites to bring you crushed-olive oil for the lamp-stand, and keep a flame burning therecontinual y.
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.	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:
4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.	4 Aaron wil keep the lamps permanently trimmed on the pure lamp-stand before Yahweh.
5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.	5 'You will take wheaten flour and with it bake twelve loaves, each of two-tenths of an ephah.
6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.	6 You will then place them in two rows of six on the pure table before Yahweh
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.	7 and put pure incense on each row, to make it food offered as a memorial, food burnt for Yahweh.
8 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.	8 Every Sabbath they wil be arranged before Yahweh. The Israelites wil provide them as a permanentcovenant.
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.	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.'
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;	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.
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:)	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).
12 And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.	12 He was then put under guard until Yahweh's will should be made clear to them.
13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,	13 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:
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.	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.
15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.	15 Then say to the Israelites: "Anyone who curses his God will bear the consequences of his sin,
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.	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.
17 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.	17 "Anyone who strikes down any other human being will be put to death.
18 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.	18 "Anyone who strikes down an animal will make restitution for it: a life for a life.
19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;	19 "Anyone who injures a neighbour shall receive the same 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.	20 broken limb for broken limb, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As the injury inflicted, so will be the injurysuffered.
21 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.	21 Whoever strikes down an animal wil make restitution for it, and whoever strikes down a human beingwil be put to death.
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.	22 The sentence you pass wil be the same, whether on native-born or on alien; for I am Yahweh yourGod." '
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.	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.
