| 7And you shall put pure frankincense on each pile, that it may go with the bread as a memorial portion as a food offering to the LORD. | 7And 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 the LORD. |
| 8Every Sabbath day Aaron shall arrange it before the LORD regularly; it is from the people of Israel as a covenant forever. | 8Every Sabbath day the bread is to be set out before the LORD on behalf of the Israelites as a permanent covenant. |
| 9And it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, since it is for him a most holy portion out of the LORD’s food offerings, a perpetual due.” | 9It 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 the LORD—his portion forever.” |

His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. | 11The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse. So they brought him to Moses.

| 14“Bring out of the camp the one who cursed, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. | 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. |
| 15And speak to the people of Israel, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. | 15And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin. |
| 16Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death. | 16Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD 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“Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death. | 17And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death. |
| 18Whoever takes an animal’s life shall make it good, life for life. | 18Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life. |
| 19If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done it shall be done to him, | 19If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him: |
| 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him. | 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him. |
| 21Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, and whoever kills a person shall be put to death. | 21Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death. |
| 22You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the LORD your God.” | 22You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am the LORD your God.’ ” |
| 23So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and they brought out of the camp the one who had cursed and stoned him with stones. Thus the people of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses. | 23Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him.
