| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then the LORD said to Moses, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps continually before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5You are also to take fine flour and bake twelve loaves, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf, |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6and set them in two rows—six per row—on the table of pure gold before the LORD. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7And you are to place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread, a food offering to the LORD. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Every Sabbath day the bread is to be set out before the LORD on behalf of the Israelites as a permanent covenant. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place; for it is to him a most holy part of the food offerings to the LORD—his portion forever.” |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse. So they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.) |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12They placed him in custody until the will of the LORD should be made clear to them. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Then the LORD said to Moses, |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14“Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone him. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must surely be put to death; the whole assembly must surely stone him, whether he is a foreign resident or native; if he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him: |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am the LORD your God.’” |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
