24:1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

24:2 Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.

24:3 Without 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.

24:4 He shall keep in order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before Jehovah continually.

24:5 And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts [of an ephah] shall be in one cake.

24:6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah.

24:7 And 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.

24:8 Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before Jehovah continually; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel, an everlasting covenant.

24:9 And 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.

24:10 And 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:

24:11 and 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.

24:12 And they put him in ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of Jehovah.

24:13 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

24:14 Bring 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.

24:15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

24:16 And 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.

24:17 And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death.

24:18 And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.

24:19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:

24:20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto him.

24:21 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: and he that killeth a man shall be put to death.

24:22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Jehovah your God.

24:23 And 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.
