Leviticus 24:3-13

3 extra velum testimonii in tabernaculo foederis ponetque eas Aaron a vespere usque in mane coram Domino cultu rituque perpetuo in generationibus vestris

4 super candelabro mundissimo ponentur semper in conspectu Domini

5 accipies quoque similam et coques ex ea duodecim panes qui singuli habebunt duas decimas

6 quorum senos altrinsecus super mensam purissimam coram Domino statues

7 et pones super eos tus lucidissimum ut sit panis in monumentum oblationis Domini

8 per singula sabbata mutabuntur coram Domino suscepti a filiis Israhel foedere sempiterno

9 eruntque Aaron et filiorum eius ut comedant eos in loco sancto quia sanctum sanctorum est de sacrificiis Domini iure perpetuo

10 ecce autem egressus filius mulieris israhelitis quem pepererat de viro aegyptio inter filios Israhel iurgatus est in castris cum viro israhelite

11 cumque blasphemasset nomen et maledixisset ei adductus est ad Mosen vocabatur autem mater eius Salumith filia Dabri de tribu Dan

12 miseruntque eum in carcerem donec nossent quid iuberet Dominus

13 qui locutus est ad Mosen

INTRODUCTION TO LEVITICUS 24

This chapter treats of the oil for the lamps, and the ordering of them, Le 24:1-4; of the making of the shewbread cakes, and the setting of them on the table, Le 24:5-9; and an Israelite having blasphemed the name of the Lord, and inquiry being made what should be done to him, he, and so any other person guilty of the same, is ordered to be stoned to death, Le 24:10-16; on occasion of which several laws are repeated concerning killing a man or a beast, or doing injury to any man, Le 24:17-23.
