Leviticus 24:5-15

5 And thou shalt take fine flour and bake twelve cakes thereof; each cake shall be of two-tenth deals.
6 And thou shalt set them in two orders, six in each order, upon the clean table before the LORD.
7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each order, that it may be on the bread for an aroma and incense unto the LORD.
8 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually: an everlasting covenant of the sons of Israel.
9 And it shall belong to Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in the holy place, for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD on fire, by a perpetual statute.
10 In that season the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel; and this son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
11 and the Israelite woman’s son pronounced the Name and cursed; and they brought him unto Moses. And his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12 And they put him in ward that the mind of the LORD might be showed them.
13 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
14 Bring forth the one that has blasphemed outside the camp and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15 And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, The man that speaks evil of his God shall bear his sin.

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.
