1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:1The LORD spoke to Moses,
2“Command the children of Israel that they bring to you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to make the lamps burn continually.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.
3Outside the veil of the Testimony, in the tabernacle of meeting, Aaron shall be in charge of it from evening until morning before the LORD continually; it shall be a statute forever in your generations.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.
4He shall be in charge of the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.4He is to arrange the lamps so that they burn continuously on a ceremonially pure lamp stand in the LORD's presence.
5“And you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it. Two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake.5Take fine flour and bake twelve cakes using two tenths of a measure for each cake.
6You shall set them in two rows, six in a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD.6Arrange them in two rows—six in each row—on a ceremonially pure table in the LORD's presence.
7And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, an offering made by fire to the LORD.7Put pure frankincense on each row for a memorial offering. It will serve as an offering made by fire 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.8They are to be arranged every Sabbath day in the LORD's presence as a gift from the Israelis—an eternal covenant.
9And 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 offerings of the LORD made by fire, by a perpetual statute.”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."
10Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and this Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought each other in the camp.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.
11And the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the name of the LORD and cursed; and so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)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.
12Then they put him in custody, that the mind of the LORD might be shown to them.12They placed him in custody until a decision would be made to them according to the word of the LORD.
13And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,13Then the LORD spoke to Moses,
14“Take outside the camp him who has cursed; then let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.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.
15“Then you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.15Moreover, tell the Israelis that anyone who curses his God will bear the consequences of his own sin,
16And whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him, the stranger as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the name of the LORD, he shall be put to death.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.
17‘Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death.17"If a man beats a human being to death, he is certainly to be executed,
18Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, animal for animal.18but whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it—life for life.
19‘If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him—19If a man disfigures his fellow, whatever he did is to be done to him also.
20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it 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.
21And whoever kills an animal shall restore it; but whoever kills a man shall be put to death.21Whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it, but whoever beats a human being to death is to be put to death.
22You shall have the same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the LORD your God.’ ”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."
23Then Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they took outside the camp him who had cursed, and stoned him with stones. So the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.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.
