| 1. | 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. |
