| 1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 1The LORD spoke to Moses: |
| 2Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. | 2"Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil from crushed olives for the light, in order to keep the lamp burning regularly. |
| 3Without 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. | 3Aaron is to tend it continually from evening until morning before the LORD outside the curtain of the testimony in the tent of meeting. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations. |
| 4He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually. | 4He must continually tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand in the LORD's presence. |
| 5And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake. | 5"Take fine flour and bake it into twelve loaves; each loaf is to be made with four quarts. |
| 6And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD. | 6Arrange them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD. |
| 7And 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. | 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 he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. | 8The bread is to be set out before the LORD every Sabbath day as a permanent covenant obligation on the part of the Israelites. |
| 9And 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. | 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." |
| 10And 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; | 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 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:) | 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 ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them. | 12They put him in custody until the LORD's decision could be made clear to them. |
| 13And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 13Then the LORD spoke to Moses: |
| 14Bring 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. | 14"Bring 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 thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. | 15And tell the Israelites: If anyone curses his God, he will bear the consequences of his sin. |
| 16And 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. | 16Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death; the whole community is to stone him. If he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death, whether the resident alien or the native. |
| 17And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. | 17"If a man kills anyone, he must be put to death. |
| 18And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast. | 18Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution for it, life for life. |
| 19And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him; | 19If any man inflicts a permanent injury on his neighbor, whatever he has done is to be done to him: |
| 20Breach 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. | 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Whatever injury he inflicted on the person, the same is to be inflicted on him. |
| 21And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he 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. |
| 22Ye 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. | 22You are to have the same law for the resident alien and the native, because I am the LORD your God." |
| 23And 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. | 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. |
