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.

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses:

2 "Order the People of Israel to bring you virgin olive oil for light so that the lamps may be kept burning continually.

3 Aaron is in charge of keeping these lamps burning in front of the curtain that screens The Testimony in the Tent of Meeting from evening to morning continually before God. This is a perpetual decree down through the generations.

4 Aaron is responsible for keeping the lamps burning continually on the Lampstand of pure gold before God.

5 "Take fine flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using about four quarts of flour to a loaf.

6 Arrange them in two rows of six each on the Table of pure gold before God.

7 Along each row spread pure incense, marking the bread as a memorial; it is a gift to God.

8 Regularly, every Sabbath, this bread is to be set before God, a perpetual covenantal response from Israel.

9 The bread then goes to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a Holy Place. It is their most holy share from the gifts to God. This is a perpetual decree."

10 One day the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites. A fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.

11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name of God and cursed. They brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan.

12 They put him in custody waiting for God's will to be revealed to them.

13 Then God spoke to Moses:

14 "Take the blasphemer outside the camp. Have all those who heard him place their hands on his head; then have the entire congregation stone him.

15 Then tell the Israelites, Anyone who curses God will be held accountable;

16 anyone who blasphemes the Name of God must be put to death. The entire congregation must stone him. It makes no difference whether he is a foreigner or a native, if he blasphemes the Name, he will be put to death.

17 "Anyone who hits and kills a fellow human must be put to death.

18 Anyone who kills someone's animal must make it good - a life for a life.

19 Anyone who injures his neighbor will get back the same as he gave:

20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. What he did to hurt that person will be done to him.

21 Anyone who hits and kills an animal must make it good, but whoever hits and kills a fellow human will be put to death.

22 And no double standards: the same rule goes for foreigners and natives. I am God, your God."

23 Moses then spoke to the People of Israel. They brought the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. The People of Israel followed the orders God had given Moses.
