Leviticus 24

New Living Translation NLT

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 “Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.

3 This is the lampstand that stands in the Tabernacle, in front of the inner curtain that shields the Ark of the Covenant. Aaron must keep the lamps burning in the LORD ’s presence all night. This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed from generation to generation.

4 Aaron and the priests must tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand continually in the LORD ’s presence.

5 “You must bake twelve flat loaves of bread from choice flour, using four quarts of flour for each loaf.

6 Place the bread before the LORD on the pure gold table, and arrange the loaves in two stacks, with six loaves in each stack.

7 Put some pure frankincense near each stack to serve as a representative offering, a special gift presented to the LORD .

8 Every Sabbath day this bread must be laid out before the LORD as a gift from the Israelites; it is an ongoing expression of the eternal covenant.

9 The loaves of bread will belong to Aaron and his descendants, who must eat them in a sacred place, for they are most holy. It is the permanent right of the priests to claim this portion of the special gifts presented to the LORD .”

10 One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father came out of his tent and got into a fight with one of the Israelite men.

11 During the fight, this son of an Israelite woman blasphemed the Name of the LORD with a curse. So the man was brought to Moses for judgment. His mother was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan.

12 They kept the man in custody until the LORD ’s will in the matter should become clear to them.

13 Then the LORD said to Moses,

14 “Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and tell all those who heard the curse to lay their hands on his head. Then let the entire community stone him to death.

15 Say to the people of Israel: Those who curse their God will be punished for their sin.

16 Anyone who blasphemes the Name of the LORD must be stoned to death by the whole community of Israel. Any native-born Israelite or foreigner among you who blasphemes the Name of the LORD must be put to death.

17 “Anyone who takes another person’s life must be put to death.

18 “Anyone who kills another person’s animal must pay for it in full—a live animal for the animal that was killed.

19 “Anyone who injures another person must be dealt with according to the injury inflicted—

20 a fracture for a fracture, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever anyone does to injure another person must be paid back in kind.

21 “Whoever kills an animal must pay for it in full, but whoever kills another person must be put to death.

22 “This same standard applies both to native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you. I am the LORD your God.”

23 After Moses gave all these instructions to the Israelites, they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him to death. The Israelites did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD said to Moses:

2 Command the Israelites to bring pure, pressed olive oil to you for the lamp, to keep a light burning constantly.

3 Aaron will tend the lamp, which will be inside the meeting tent but outside the inner curtain of the covenant document, from evening until morning before the LORD. This is a permanent rule throughout your future generations.

4 Aaron must continually tend the lights on the pure lampstand before the LORD.

5 You will take choice flour and bake twelve loaves of flatbread, two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf.

6 You must place them in two stacks, six in a stack, on the pure table before the LORD.

7 Put pure frankincense on each stack, as a token portion for the bread; it is a food gift for the LORD.

8 Aaron will always set it out before the LORD, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a permanent covenant.

9 It will belong to Aaron and his sons. They must eat it in a holy place because it is the most holy part of their share of the LORD's food gifts, a permanent portion.

10 The son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father came out among the Israelites. A fight broke out between this half-Israelite and another Israelite man in the camp,

11 during which the half-Israelite blasphemed the Lord's name and cursed. So he was brought to Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith, Dibri's daughter from the tribe of Dan.)

12 He was put under guard until they could determine the LORD's verdict.

13 Then the LORD said to Moses:

14 Take the one who cursed outside the camp. All who heard him will press their hands on his head. Then the whole community will stone him.

15 Tell the Israelites: Anyone who curses God will be liable to punishment.

16 And anyone who blasphemes the LORD's name must be executed. The whole community will stone that person. Immigrant and citizen alike: whenever someone blasphemes the Lord's name, that person will be executed.

17 If anyone kills another person, they must be executed.

18 Someone who kills an animal may make amends for it: a life for a life.

19 If someone injures a fellow citizen, they will suffer the same injury they inflicted:

20 broken bone for broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The same injury the person inflicted on the other will be inflicted on them.

21 Someone who kills an animal must make amends for it, but whoever kills a human being must be executed.

22 There is but one law on this matter for you, immigrant or citizen alike, because I am the LORD your God.

23 Moses told this to the Israelites. So they took the one who had cursed outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did just as the LORD commanded Moses.
