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"Command the Israelites to bring to you pure oil of beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually.
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 veil-canopy of the congregation in the Meeting Tent Aaron must arrange it from evening until morning before the LORD continually. This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations.
4He shall be in charge of the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually.4On the ceremonially pure lampstand he must arrange the lamps before the LORD continually.
5“And you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it. Two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake.5"You must take choice wheat flour and bake twelve loaves; there must be two tenths of an ephah of flour in each loaf,
6You shall set them in two rows, six in a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD.6and you must set them in two rows, six in a row, on the ceremonially pure table before the LORD.
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.7You must put pure frankincense on each row, and it will become a memorial portion for the bread, a gift 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.8Each Sabbath day Aaron must arrange it before the LORD continually; this portion is from the Israelites as a perpetual 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.”9It will belong to Aaron and his sons, and they must eat it in a holy place because it is most holy to him, a perpetual allotted portion from the gifts of the LORD."
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 an Israelite woman's son whose father was an Egyptian went out among the Israelites, and the Israelite woman's son and an Israelite man had a fight 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.)11The Israelite woman's son misused the Name and cursed, so they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother's name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)
12Then they put him in custody, that the mind of the LORD might be shown to them.12So they placed him in custody until they were able to make a clear legal decision for themselves based on words from the mouth 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"Bring the one who cursed outside the camp, and all who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the whole 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, you are to tell the Israelites, 'If any man curses his God he will bear responsibility for his 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.16and one who misuses the name of the LORD must surely be put to death. The whole congregation must surely stone him, whether he is a foreigner or a native citizen; when he misuses the Name he must be put to death.
17‘Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death.17"'If a man beats any person to death, he must be put to death.
18Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, animal for animal.18One who beats an animal to death must make restitution for 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 inflicts an injury on his fellow citizen, just as he has done it must be done to him--
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 inflicts an injury on another person that same injury must be inflicted on him.
21And whoever kills an animal shall restore it; but whoever kills a man shall be put to death.21One who beats an animal to death must make restitution for it, but one who beats a person to death must 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.’ ”22There will be one regulation for you, whether a foreigner or a native citizen, for 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.23Then Moses spoke to the Israelites and they brought the one who cursed outside the camp and stoned him with stones. So the Israelites did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
