Leviticus 24

King James Version (KJV)

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Ref Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.

3 Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.

4 Ref He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.

5 Ref And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.

6 Ref And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.

7 Ref And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

8 Ref Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.

9 Ref And it shall be Aaron's 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 made by fire by a perpetual statute.

10 Ref And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;

11 Ref And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord, 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 Ref And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be showed them.

13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

14 Ref Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

15 Ref And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

16 Ref And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.

17 Ref And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.

18 Ref And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.

19 Ref And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;

20 Ref Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.

21 Ref And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

22 Ref Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.

23 Ref And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 Ref `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;

4 Ref by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.

5 Ref `And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,

7 Ref 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 Ref `On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel -- a covenant age-during;
