Leviticus Chapter 24

Pure Oil and Holy Bread

¹ The LORD said to Moses,

² “Tell the people to bring you clear oil from pressed olives that can keep a lamp burning continually. ^3-4 Outside the curtain of Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron will keep the lamps on the lampstand in order from evening to morning continually. It’s an ongoing permanent statute.

⁵ “Take fine flour and bake 12 cakes. Put .22 bushels ^{.2 ephah} in each one. ⁶ Set them in two stacks, six to a stack on the pure gold table. ⁷ Put pure frankincense beside each stack for the bread as God’s portion, an offering by fire to the LORD. ⁸ Every Sabbath Aaron will set this bread in order in front of the LORD, a permanent covenant for Israel. ⁹ It’ll be for Aaron and his sons to eat in a sacred place. It’s the most sacred to them from the LORD’s offerings by fire, their permanent portion.” 

Lev 24:1-9

A Blasphemer Stoned

¹⁰ The son of an Israelite woman and Egyptian father went out among the people and got into a fight with an Israelite man in the camp. ¹¹ The woman’s son blasphemed the Name and cursed; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, tribe of Dan.) ¹² They put him in custody till the LORD made his commandment clear to Moses.

¹³ The LORD told Moses,

¹⁴ “Take him outside the camp. The ones who heard him will put their hands on his head and the community will stone him. ¹⁵ Tell the people, ‘If anybody curses God, he’s considered guilty. ¹⁶ The community is to stone anybody that blasphemes the LORD.

¹⁷ “Execute a murderer, ¹⁸ but anybody that kills an animal will make it good, life for life. ¹⁹ If one person injures another, do the same thing to that person: ²⁰ fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth.  [ ²¹ ] ²²There’ll be one standard for you and a foreigner. I’m the LORD your God.”

²³ Moses told the people, and they took outside the camp the one that had cursed, and stoned him.
