1א

[24] 1The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2Command the Israelite people to bring you clear oil of beaten olives for lighting, for kindling lamps regularly. 3Aaron shall set them up in the Tent of Meeting outside the curtain of the Pact [to burn] from evening to morning before the Lord regularly; it is a law for all time throughout the ages. 4He shall set up the lamps on the pure (See note at Exod. 31.8.) lampstand before the Lord [to burn] regularly.

1ב

5You shall take choice flour and bake of it twelve loaves, two-tenths of a measure for each loaf. 6Place them on the pure (See note at Exod. 31.8.) table before the Lord in two rows, six to a row. 7With each row you shall place pure frankincense, which is to be a token offering (See Lev. 2.2.) for the bread, as an offering by fire to the Lord. 8He shall arrange them before the Lord regularly every sabbath day it is a commitment for all time on the part of the Israelites. 9They shall belong to Aaron and his sons, who shall eat them in the sacred precinct; for they are his as most holy things from the Lords offerings by fire, a due for all time.

10There came out among the Israelites one whose mother was Israelite and whose father was Egyptian. And a fight broke out in the camp between that half-Israelite (Lit. the son of an Israelite woman.) and a certain Israelite. 11The son of the Israelite woman pronounced the Name in blasphemy, and he was brought to Moses now his mothers name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan 12and he was placed in custody, until the decision of the Lord should be made clear to them.

2ב

13And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 14Take the blasphemer outside the camp; and let all who were within hearing lay their hands upon his head, and let the whole community stone him. 15And to the Israelite people speak thus: Anyone who blasphemes his God shall bear his guilt; 16if he also pronounces the name Lord, he shall be put to death. The whole community shall stone him; stranger or citizen, if he has thus pronounced the Name, he shall be put to death. 17If anyone kills any human being, he shall be put to death. 18One who kills a beast shall make restitution for it: life for life. 19If anyone maims his fellow, as he has done so shall it be done to him: 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The injury he inflicted on another shall be inflicted on him. 21One who kills a beast shall make restitution for it; but one who kills a human being shall be put to death. 22You shall have one standard for stranger and citizen alike: for I the Lord am your God. 23Moses spoke thus to the Israelites. And they took the blasphemer outside the camp and pelted him with stones. The Israelites did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
