Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 The LORD said to Moses,
1
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 “Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning continually.
2
`Command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure olive oil, beaten, for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually;
3 Outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps before the LORD from evening till morning, continually. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.
3
at the outside of the vail of the testimony in the tent of meeting doth Aaron arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah continually -- a statute age-during to your generations;
4 The lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD must be tended continually.
4
by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.
5 “Take the finest flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf.
5
`And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,
6 Arrange them in two stacks, six in each stack, on the table of pure gold before the LORD.
6
and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,
7 By each stack put some pure incense as a memorial portion to represent the bread and to be a food offering presented to the LORD.
7
and thou hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah.
8 This bread is to be set out before the LORD regularly, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant.
8
`On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel -- a covenant age-during;
9 It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in the sanctuary area, because it is a most holy part of their perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the LORD.”
9
and it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah -- a statute age-during.'
10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.
10
And a son of an Israelitish woman goeth out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man), in the midst of the sons of Israel, and strive in the camp do the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel,
11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.)
11
and the son of the Israelitish woman execrateth the Name, and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his mother's name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;
12 They put him in custody until the will of the LORD should be made clear to them.
12
and he causeth him to rest in charge -- to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.
13 Then the LORD said to Moses:
13
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
14 “Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him.
14
`Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him.
15 Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible;
15
`And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God -- then he hath borne his sin;
16 anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death.
16
and he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.
17 “ ‘Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death.
17
`And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
18 Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution—life for life.
18
`And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.
19 Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner:
19
`And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he hath done so it is done to him;
20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury.
20
breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him.
21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death.
21
`And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth [the life of] man is put to death;
22 You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the LORD your God.’ ”
22
one judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] Jehovah your God.'
23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did as the LORD commanded Moses.
23
And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones; and the sons of Israel have done as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
