Leviticus 24:1-12 ▼

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 “Command the sons of Israel, and they bring pure oil of beaten olive to you for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually;

3 Aaron arranges it at the outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, from evening until morning before YHWH continually—a continuous statute throughout your generations;

4 he arranges the lights on the pure lampstand before YHWH continually.

5 And you have taken flour, and have baked twelve cakes with it, two-tenth parts are in one cake,

6 and you have set them [in] two rows (six in the row) on the pure table before YHWH,

7 and you have put pure frankincense on the row, and it has been with the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to YHWH.

8 On each Sabbath day he arranges it before YHWH continually, from the sons of Israel—a perpetual covenant;

9 and it has been for Aaron and for his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of YHWH—a continuous statute.”

10 And a son of an Israeli woman goes out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man) in the midst of the sons of Israel, and the son of the Israeli woman and a man of Israel strive in the camp,

11 and the son of the Israeli woman execrates the Name and reviles; and they bring him to Moses; and his mother’s name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;

12 and he causes him to rest in confinement —to explain to them by the mouth of YHWH.
