241The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,+2“Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.+3Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.+4He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lamp stand before the LORD continually.+
5“You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenths of an ephah shall be in one cake.+6You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD.+7You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to the LORD.+8Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually. It is an everlasting covenant on the behalf of the children of Israel.+9It shall be for Aaron and his sons. They shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.”+
Punishment for Blasphemy
10The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out amongst the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.+11The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.+12They put him in custody until the LORD’s will should be declared to them.+13The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 14“Bring him who cursed out of the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.+15You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.+16He who blasphemes the LORD’s name, he shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreigner as well as the native-born shall be put to death when he blasphemes the Name.+
17“‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.+18He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.+19If anyone injures his neighbour, it shall be done to him as he has done:+20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. It shall be done to him as he has injured someone.+21He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.+22You shall have one kind of law for the foreigner as well as the native-born; for I am the LORD your God.’”+23Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.+Footnotes (1)
