Berean Standard Bible
- 1 Then Yahweh said to Moses,
- 2 "Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
- 3 Outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps continually before Yahweh from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come.
- 4 He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before Yahweh continually.
- 5 You are also to take fine flour and bake twelve loaves, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf,
- 6 and set them in two rows-six per row-on the table of pure gold before Yahweh.
- 7 And you are to place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
- 8 Every Sabbath day the bread is to be set out before Yahweh on behalf of the Israelites as a permanent covenant.
- 9 It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place; for it is to him a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to Yahweh-his portion forever."
- 10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.
- 11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse. So they brought him to Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)
- 12 They placed him in custody until the will of Yahweh should be made clear to them.
- 13 Then Yahweh said to Moses,
- 14 "Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone him.
- 15 And you are to tell the Israelites, 'If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin.
- 16 Whoever blasphemes the name of Yahweh must surely be put to death; the whole assembly must surely stone him, whether he is a foreign resident or native; if he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.
- 17 And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death.
- 18 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution-life for life.
- 19 If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:
- 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him.
- 21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.
- 22 You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am Yahweh your God.'"
- 23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
