1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,1The LORD spoke to Moses: "
2“Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly.2Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil from crushed olives for the light, in order to keep the lamp burning continually.
3Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall arrange it from evening to morning before the LORD regularly. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.3Aaron is to tend it continually from evening until morning before the LORD outside the veil of the testimony in the tent of meeting. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations.
4He shall arrange the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold before the LORD regularly.4He must continually tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand in the LORD's presence."
5“You shall take fine flour and bake twelve loaves from it; two tenths of an ephah shall be in each loaf.5Take fine flour and bake it into 12 loaves; each loaf is to be made with four quarts.
6And you shall set them in two piles, six in a pile, on the table of pure gold before the LORD.6Arrange them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD.
7And you shall put pure frankincense on each pile, that it may go with the bread as a memorial portion as a food offering to the LORD.7Place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread and a fire offering to the LORD.
8Every Sabbath day Aaron shall arrange it before the LORD regularly; it is from the people of Israel as a covenant forever.8The bread is to be set out before the LORD every Sabbath day as a perpetual covenant obligation on the part of the Israelites.
9And it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, since it is for him a most holy portion out of the LORD’s food offerings, a perpetual due.”9It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place, for it is the holiest portion for him from the fire offerings to the LORD; this is a permanent rule."
10Now an Israelite woman’s son, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the people of Israel. And the Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought in the camp,10Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father was among the Israelites. A fight broke out in the camp between the Israelite woman's son and an Israelite man.
11and the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the Name, and cursed. Then they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.11Her son cursed and blasphemed the Name, and they brought him to Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith, a daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan.)
12And they put him in custody, till the will of the LORD should be clear to them.12They put him in custody until the LORD's decision could be made clear to them.
13Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,13Then the LORD spoke to Moses: "
14“Bring out of the camp the one who cursed, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.14Bring the one who has cursed to the outside of the camp and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole community stone him.
15And speak to the people of Israel, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.15And tell the Israelites: If anyone curses his God, he will bear the consequences of his sin.
16Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.16Whoever blasphemes the name of Yahweh is to be put to death; the whole community must stone him. If he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death, whether the foreign resident or the native."
17“Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death.17If a man kills anyone, he must be put to death.
18Whoever takes an animal’s life shall make it good, life for life.18Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution for it, life for life.
19If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done it shall be done to him,19If any man inflicts a permanent injury on his neighbor, whatever he has done is to be done to him:
20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him.20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Whatever injury he inflicted on the person, the same is to be inflicted on him.
21Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, and whoever kills a person shall be put to death.21Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution for it, but whoever kills a person is to be put to death.
22You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the LORD your God.”22You are to have the same law for the foreign resident and the native, because I am Yahweh your God."
23So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and they brought out of the camp the one who had cursed and stoned him with stones. Thus the people of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.23After Moses spoke to the Israelites, they brought the one who had cursed to the outside of the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
