| 1The LORD spoke to Moses, | 1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 2"Tell the Israelis that they are to bring to you pure oil made from beaten olives in order to keep the lamp burning continuously. | 2"Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you clear oil from beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually. |
| 3Outside the Canopy of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to arrange it continually in the LORD's presence from evening until morning as an eternal ordinance throughout your generations. | 3"Outside the veil of testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations. |
| 4He is to arrange the lamps so that they burn continuously on a ceremonially pure lamp stand in the LORD's presence. | 4"He shall keep the lamps in order on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually. |
| 5Take fine flour and bake twelve cakes using two tenths of a measure for each cake. | 5"Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake. |
| 6Arrange them in two rows—six in each row—on a ceremonially pure table in the LORD's presence. | 6"You shall set them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD. |
| 7Put pure frankincense on each row for a memorial offering. It will serve as an offering made by fire to the LORD. | 7"You shall put pure frankincense on each row that it may be a memorial portion for the bread, even an offering by fire to the LORD. |
| 8They are to be arranged every Sabbath day in the LORD's presence as a gift from the Israelis—an eternal covenant. | 8"Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually; it is an everlasting covenant for the sons of Israel. |
| 9This gift will belong to Aaron and his sons, and they are to eat it in a sacred place, because it's the most holy thing for him of all the offerings made by fire to the LORD. This is to be an eternal ordinance." | 9"It shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the LORD'S offerings by fire, his portion forever." |
| 10Now a son of an Israeli woman and an Egyptian man went out among the Israelis. The Israeli woman's son got into a fight with an Israeli man in the camp. | 10Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel; and the Israelite woman's son and a man of Israel struggled with each other in the camp. |
| 11Then the Israeli woman's son blasphemed the Name and cursed, so they brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan. | 11The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.) |
| 12They placed him in custody until a decision would be made to them according to the word of the LORD. | 12They put him in custody so that the command of the LORD might be made clear to them. |
| 13Then the LORD spoke to Moses, | 13Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 14"Take the one who cursed outside the camp. Everyone who heard him is to lay their hands on his head. Then the entire congregation is to stone him to death. | 14"Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then let all the congregation stone him. |
| 15Moreover, tell the Israelis that anyone who curses his God will bear the consequences of his own sin, | 15"You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'If anyone curses his God, then he will bear his sin. |
| 16because the one who blasphemes the name of the LORD is certainly to be put to death. The entire congregation is to stone him to death. As it is for the resident alien, so it is to be with the native born: when he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death. | 16'Moreover, the one who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The alien as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death. |
| 17"If a man beats a human being to death, he is certainly to be executed, | 17'If a man takes the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death. |
| 18but whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it—life for life. | 18'The one who takes the life of an animal shall make it good, life for life. |
| 19If a man disfigures his fellow, whatever he did is to be done to him also. | 19'If a man injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so it shall be done to him: |
| 20Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth—just as he had caused a disfigurement against another man, so it is to be done against him. | 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has injured a man, so it shall be inflicted on him. |
| 21Whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it, but whoever beats a human being to death is to be put to death. | 21'Thus the one who kills an animal shall make it good, but the one who kills a man shall be put to death. |
| 22You are to have for yourselves consistent procedures in deciding a case. As it is for the resident alien, so it is for the native born. I am the LORD your God." | 22'There shall be one standard for you; it shall be for the stranger as well as the native, for I am the LORD your God.'" |
| 23So Moses spoke to the Israelis and they brought the one who cursed outside the camp and stoned him to death with boulders. The Israelis did just as the LORD had commanded Moses. | 23Then Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought the one who had cursed outside the camp and stoned him with stones. Thus the sons of Israel did, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
