Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
|
|
2. |
"Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
|
|
3. |
Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh continually: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
|
|
4. |
He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before Yahweh continually.
|
|
5. |
"You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenth parts of an ephah{1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel} shall be in one cake.
|
|
6. |
You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before Yahweh.
|
|
7. |
You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
|
|
8. |
Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually. It is on the behalf of the children of Israel an everlasting covenant.
|
|
9. |
It shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire by a perpetual statute."
|
|
10. |
The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
|
|
11. |
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
|
|
12. |
They put him in custody, until the will of Yahweh should be declared to them.
|
|
13. |
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
|
|
14. |
"Bring out of the camp him who cursed; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
|
|
15. |
You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
|
|
16. |
He who blasphemes the name of Yahweh, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: the foreigner as well as the native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
|
|
17. |
"'He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
|
|
18. |
He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.
|
|
19. |
If anyone injures his neighbor; as he has done, so shall it be done to him:
|
|
20. |
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has injured someone, so shall it be done to him.
|
|
21. |
He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
|
|
22. |
You shall have one kind of law, for the foreigner as well as the native-born: for I am Yahweh your God.'"
|
|
23. |
Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
