24:1  The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
24:2  Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly.
24:3  Aaron shall set it up in the tent of meeting, outside the curtain of the covenant, to burn from evening to morning before the Lord regularly; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.
24:4  He shall set up the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold before the Lord regularly.
24:5  You shall take choice flour, and bake twelve loaves of it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each loaf.
24:6  You shall place them in two rows, six in a row, on the table of pure gold.
24:7  You shall put pure frankincense with each row, to be a token offering for the bread, as an offering by fire to the Lord.
24:8  Every sabbath day Aaron shall set them in order before the Lord regularly as a commitment of the people of Israel, as a covenant for ever.
24:9  They shall be for Aaron and his descendants, who shall eat them in a holy place, for they are most holy portions for him from the offerings by fire to the Lord, a perpetual due.
24:10  A man whose mother was an Israelite and whose father was an Egyptian came out among the people of Israel; and the Israelite woman’s son and a certain Israelite began fighting in the camp.
24:11  The Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the Name in a curse. And they brought him to Moses—now his mother’s name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan—
24:12  and they put him in custody, until the decision of the Lord should be made clear to them.
24:13  The Lord said to Moses, saying:
24:14  Take the blasphemer outside the camp; and let all who were within hearing lay their hands on his head, and let the whole congregation stone him.
24:15  And speak to the people of Israel, saying: Anyone who curses God shall bear the sin.
24:16  One who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death; the whole congregation shall stone the blasphemer. Aliens as well as citizens, when they blaspheme the Name, shall be put to death.
24:17  Anyone who kills a human being shall be put to death.
24:18  Anyone who kills an animal shall make restitution for it, life for life.
24:19  Anyone who maims another shall suffer the same injury in return:
24:20  fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; the injury inflicted is the injury to be suffered.
24:21  One who kills an animal shall make restitution for it; but one who kills a human being shall be put to death.
24:22  You shall have one law for the alien and for the citizen: for I am the Lord your God.
24:23  Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel; and they took the blasphemer outside the camp, and stoned him to death. The people of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
