Leviticus

The Oil for the Lamps

Exodus 27:20–21

1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,+ 2Command the children of Israel that they bring unto thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to light the lamp continually.+ 3Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron dress it from evening to morning before Jehovah continually: [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your generations.+ 4Upon the pure candlestick shall he arrange the lamps before Jehovah continually.+

The Showbread

Exodus 25:23–30; Exodus 37:10–16

5And thou shalt take fine wheaten flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof; each cake shall be of two tenths.+ 6And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah.+ 7And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row; and it shall be a bread of remembrance, an offering by fire to Jehovah.+ 8Every sabbath day he shall arrange it before Jehovah continually, on the part of the children of Israel: [it is] an everlasting covenant.+ 9And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him of Jehovah's offerings by fire: [it is] an everlasting statute.+

Punishment for Blasphemy

10And the son of an Israelitish woman — but withal the son of an Egyptian, — went out among the children of Israel; and this son of the Israelitess and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;+ 11and the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. And his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.+ 12And they confined him, that they might decide at the mouth of Jehovah.+ 13And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 14Lead the reviler outside the camp; and all that heard [him] shall lay their hands upon his head, and the whole assembly shall stone him.+ 15And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Every one when he revileth hisGod shall bear his sin.+ 16And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah shall certainly be put to death; all the assembly shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger as he that is home-born, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death.+

An Eye for an Eye

Matthew 5:38–48

17And if any one smiteth any man mortally, he shall certainly 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 neighbour, 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 done to him.+ 21He that smiteth a beast [mortally] shall make it good; and he that smiteth a man [mortally] shall be put to death.+ 22Ye shall have one law: as the stranger, so the home-born; for I am Jehovah yourGod.+ 23And Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they led the reviler outside the camp and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.+
