Leviticus

The Oil for the Lamps

Exodus 27:20–21

1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,+ 2Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.+ 3Without the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.+ 4He shall keep in order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before Jehovah continually.+

The Showbread

Exodus 25:23–30; Exodus 37:10–16

5And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts [of an ephah] shall be in one cake.+ 6And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah.+ 7And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.+ 8Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before Jehovah continually; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant.+ 9And it shall be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire by a perpetual statute.+

Punishment for Blasphemy

10And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp:+ 11and the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him unto Moses. And his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.+ 12And they put him in ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of Jehovah.+ 13And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 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.+ 15And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.+ 16And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the sojourner, as the home-born, when he blasphemeth the name [of Jehovah], shall be put to death.+

An Eye for an Eye

Matthew 5:38–48

17And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death.+ 18And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.+ 19And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:+ 20breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto him.+ 21And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: and he that killeth a man shall be put to death.+ 22Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Jehovah your God.+ 23And Moses spake to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses.+
