1 The Lord told Moses,
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Order the Israelites to bring you pure, pressed olive oil for the lamps, so they will always stay lit.
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.
3 From evening until morning Aaron is to constantly look after the lamps before the Lord, outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
3 Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh continually. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
4 He is to constantly look after the lamps placed on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord.
4 He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lamp stand before Yahweh continually.
5 Using the best flour bake twelve loaves, with two-tenths of an ephah of flour per loaf.
5 “You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenths of an ephah shall be in one cake.
6 Place them in two piles, six in each pile, on the table made of pure gold that stands before the Lord.
6 You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before Yahweh.
7 Place pure frankincense beside each pile to go with the bread to act as the ‘reminder part,’ a food offering to the Lord.
7 You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
8 Every Sabbath day the bread shall be placed before the Lord, given by the Israelites as an ongoing sign of the eternal agreement.
8 Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually. It is an everlasting covenant on the behalf of the children of Israel.
9 It is for Aaron and his descendants. They are to eat it in a holy place; for they must treat it as a most holy part of the food offerings given to the Lord. It is their share of the food offerings for all time.”
9 It 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 Yahweh made by fire by a perpetual statute.”
10 One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went into the Israelite camp and had a fight with an Israelite.
10 The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
11 The Israelite woman's son cursed the name of the Lord. So they took him before Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.)
11 The 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.
12 They detained him until it was clear what the Lord wanted them to do about it.
12 They put him in custody until Yahweh’s will should be declared to them.
13 The Lord told Moses,
13 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
14 “Take the man who cursed me outside the camp. Have all who heard him curse put their hands on his head; then have everyone stone him to death.
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.
15 Tell the Israelites that anyone who curses their God will be punished for their sin.
15 You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
16 Anyone who curses the name of the Lord must be executed. All of you must stone them to death, whether they are a foreigner who lives with you or an Israelite. If they curse my name, they must be executed.
16 He who blasphemes Yahweh’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 Anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
17 “‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it—a life for a life.
18 He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.
19 If anyone injures someone else, whatever they've done must be done to them:
19 If anyone injures his neighbor, it shall be done to him as he has done:
20 a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever way they injured the victim, the same must be done to them.
20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. It shall be done to him as he has injured someone.
21 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it, but anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
21 He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
22 The same laws apply to foreigners who live with you as to Israelites, for I am the Lord your God.”
22 You shall have one kind of law for the foreigner as well as the native-born; for I am Yahweh your God.’”
23 Moses told this to the Israelites, and they took the man who cursed the Lord outside the camp and stoned him to death. The Israelites did what the Lord ordered Moses to do.
23 Moses 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 Yahweh commanded Moses.
