Leviticus 24

New Century Version NCV

1 The Lord said to Moses,

2 "Command the peo- ple of Israel to bring you pure oil from crushed olives. That oil is for the lamps so that these lamps may never go out.

3 Aaron will keep the lamps burning in the Meeting Tent from evening until morning before the Lord; this is in front of the curtain of the Ark of the Agreement. This law will continue from now on.

4 Aaron must always keep the lamps burning on the lampstands of pure gold before the Lord.

5 "Take fine flour and bake twelve loaves of bread with it, using four quarts of flour for each loaf.

6 Put them in two rows on the golden table before the Lord, six loaves in each row.

7 Put pure incense on each row as the memorial portion to take the place of the bread. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord.

8 Every Sabbath day Aaron will put the bread in order before the Lord, as an agreement with the people of Israel that will continue forever.

9 That bread will belong to Aaron and his sons. They will eat it in a holy place, because it is a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the Lord. That bread is their share forever."

10 Now there was a son of an Israelite woman and an Egyptian father who was walking among the Israelites. A fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.

11 The son of the Israelite woman began cursing and speaking against the Lord, so the people took him to Moses. (The mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri from the family of Dan.)

12 The people held him as a prisoner while they waited for the Lord's command to be made clear to them.

13 Then the Lord said to Moses,

14 "Take the one who spoke against me outside the camp. Then all the people who heard him must put their hands on his head, and all the people must throw stones at him and kill him.

15 Tell the people of Israel this: 'If anyone curses his God, he is guilty of sin.

16 Anyone who speaks against the Lord must be put to death; all the people must kill him by throwing stones at him. Foreign- ers must be punished just like the people born in Israel; if they speak against the Lord, they must be put to death.

17 "'Whoever kills another person must be put to death.

18 Whoever kills an animal that belongs to another person must give that person another animal to take its place.

19 And whoever causes an injury to a neighbor must receive the same kind of injury in return:

20 Broken bone for broken bone, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Anyone who injures another person must be injured in the same way in return.

21 Whoever kills another person's animal must give that person another animal to take its place. But whoever kills another person must be put to death.

22 "'The law will be the same for the foreigner as for those from your own country. I am the Lord your God.'"

23 Then Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and they took the person who had cursed outside the camp and killed him by throwing stones at him. So the people of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 ADONAI said to Moshe,

2 "Order the people of Isra'el to bring you pure oil from crushed olives for the light, to keep lamps burning always.

3 Outside the curtain of the testimony in the tent of meeting, Aharon is to arrange for the light to be kept burning always from evening until morning before ADONAI ; this is to be a permanent regulation through all your generations.

4 He is always to keep in order the lamps on the pure menorah before ADONAI.

5 "You are to take fine flour and use it to bake twelve loaves, one gallon per loaf.

6 Arrange them in two rows, six in a row, on the pure table before ADONAI.

7 Put frankincense with each row to be an offering made by fire to ADONAI in place of the bread and as a reminder of it.

8 Regularly, every Shabbat, he is to arrange them before ADONAI ; they are from the people of Isra'el, as a covenant forever.

9 They will belong to Aharon and his sons; and they are to eat them in a holy place; because for him they are, of the offerings for ADONAI made by fire, especially holy. This is a permanent law."

10 There was a man who was the son of a woman of Isra'el and an Egyptian father. He went out among the people of Isra'el, and this son of a woman of Isra'el had a fight in the camp with a man of Isra'el,

11 in the course of which the son of the woman of Isra'el uttered the Name [Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh] in a curse. So they brought him to Moshe. (His mother's name was Shlomit the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)

12 They put him under guard until ADONAI would tell them what to do.

13 ADONAI said to Moshe,

14 "Take the man who cursed outside the camp, have everyone who heard him lay their hands on his head, and have the entire community stone him.

15 Then tell the people of Isra'el, 'Whoever curses his God will bear the consequences of his sin;

16 and whoever blasphemes the name of ADONAI must be put to death; the entire community must stone him. The foreigner as well as the citizen is to be put to death if he blasphemes the Name.

17 "'Anyone who strikes another person and kills him must be put to death.

18 Anyone who strikes an animal and kills it is to make restitution, life for life.

19 If someone injures his neighbor, what he did is to be done to him -

20 break for break, eye for eye, tooth for tooth -whatever injury he has caused the other person is to be rendered to him in return.

21 He who kills an animal is to make restitution, but he who kills another person is to be put to death.

22 You are to apply the same standard of judgment to the foreigner as to the citizen, because I am ADONAI your God."

23 So Moshe spoke to the people of Isra'el, and they took the man who had cursed outside the camp and stoned him to death. Thus the people of Isra'el did as ADONAI had ordered Moshe. see readings for Parashah 41]
