| 1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 1The LORD spoke to Moses, |
| 2Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually. | 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. |
| 3Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations. | 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. |
| 4He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually. | 4He is to arrange the lamps so that they burn continuously on a ceremonially pure lamp stand in the LORD's presence. |
| 5And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake. | 5Take fine flour and bake twelve cakes using two tenths of a measure for each cake. |
| 6And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD. | 6Arrange them in two rows—six in each row—on a ceremonially pure table in the LORD's presence. |
| 7And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD. | 7Put pure frankincense on each row for a memorial offering. It will serve as an offering made by fire to the LORD. |
| 8Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. | 8They are to be arranged every Sabbath day in the LORD's presence as a gift from the Israelis—an eternal covenant. |
| 9And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute. | 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." |
| 10And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp; | 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. |
| 11And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the LORD, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:) | 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. |
| 12And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them. | 12They placed him in custody until a decision would be made to them according to the word of the LORD. |
| 13And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 13Then the LORD spoke to Moses, |
| 14Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him. | 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. |
| 15And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. | 15Moreover, tell the Israelis that anyone who curses his God will bear the consequences of his own sin, |
| 16And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death. | 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. |
| 17And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death. | 17"If a man beats a human being to death, he is certainly to be executed, |
| 18And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast. | 18but whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it—life for life. |
| 19And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him; | 19If a man disfigures his fellow, whatever he did is to be done to him also. |
| 20Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again. | 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. |
| 21And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death. | 21Whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it, but whoever beats a human being to death is to be put to death. |
| 22Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God. | 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." |
| 23And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses. | 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. |
