| 1The LORD spoke to Moses, | 1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 2"Tell the Israelis that they are to bring to you pure oil made from beaten olives in order to keep the lamp burning continuously. | 2“Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly. |
| 3Outside the Canopy of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to arrange it continually in the LORD's presence from evening until morning as an eternal ordinance throughout your generations. | 3Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall arrange it from evening to morning before the LORD regularly. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. |
| 4He is to arrange the lamps so that they burn continuously on a ceremonially pure lamp stand in the LORD's presence. | 4He shall arrange the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold before the LORD regularly. |
| 5Take fine flour and bake twelve cakes using two tenths of a measure for each cake. | 5“You shall take fine flour and bake twelve loaves from it; two tenths of an ephah shall be in each loaf. |
| 6Arrange them in two rows—six in each row—on a ceremonially pure table in the LORD's presence. | 6And you shall set them in two piles, six in a pile, on the table of pure gold before the LORD. |
| 7Put pure frankincense on each row for a memorial offering. It will serve as an offering made by fire to the LORD. | 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. |
| 8They are to be arranged every Sabbath day in the LORD's presence as a gift from the Israelis—an eternal covenant. | 8Every Sabbath day Aaron shall arrange it before the LORD regularly; it is from the people of Israel as a covenant forever. |
| 9This gift will belong to Aaron and his sons, and they are to eat it in a sacred place, because it's the most holy thing for him of all the offerings made by fire to the LORD. This is to be an eternal ordinance." | 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.” |
| 10Now a son of an Israeli woman and an Egyptian man went out among the Israelis. The Israeli woman's son got into a fight with an Israeli man in the camp. | 10Now an Israelite woman’s son, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the people of Israel. And the Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought in the camp, |
| 11Then the Israeli woman's son blasphemed the Name and cursed, so they brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan. | 11and the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the Name, and cursed. Then they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. |
| 12They placed him in custody until a decision would be made to them according to the word of the LORD. | 12And they put him in custody, till the will of the LORD should be clear to them. |
| 13Then the LORD spoke to Moses, | 13Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 14"Take the one who cursed outside the camp. Everyone who heard him is to lay their hands on his head. Then the entire congregation is to stone him to death. | 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. |
| 15Moreover, tell the Israelis that anyone who curses his God will bear the consequences of his own sin, | 15And speak to the people of Israel, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. |
| 16because the one who blasphemes the name of the LORD is certainly to be put to death. The entire congregation is to stone him to death. As it is for the resident alien, so it is to be with the native born: when he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death. | 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. |
| 17"If a man beats a human being to death, he is certainly to be executed, | 17“Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death. |
| 18but whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it—life for life. | 18Whoever takes an animal’s life shall make it good, life for life. |
| 19If a man disfigures his fellow, whatever he did is to be done to him also. | 19If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done it shall be done to him, |
| 20Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth—just as he had caused a disfigurement against another man, so it is to be done against him. | 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him. |
| 21Whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it, but whoever beats a human being to death is to be put to death. | 21Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, and whoever kills a person shall be put to death. |
| 22You are to have for yourselves consistent procedures in deciding a case. As it is for the resident alien, so it is for the native born. I am the LORD your God." | 22You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the LORD your God.” |
| 23So Moses spoke to the Israelis and they brought the one who cursed outside the camp and stoned him to death with boulders. The Israelis did just as the LORD had commanded Moses. | 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. |
