Leviticus 24
|
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, | And the Lord said to Moses, |
Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. | Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times, |
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. | Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations. |
He shall keep in order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before Jehovah continually. | Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times. |
And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts [of an ephah] shall be in one cake. | And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake. |
And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah. | And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord. |
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. | And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord. |
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. | Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever. |
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. | And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever. |
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: | And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents; |
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. | And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. |
And they put him in ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of Jehovah. | And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord. |
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, | And the Lord said to Moses, |
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. | Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people. |
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. | And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head. |
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. | And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death. |
And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death. | And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death. |
And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life. | And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life. |
And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him: | And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him; |
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. | Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him. |
And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: and he that killeth a man shall be put to death. | He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death. |
Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Jehovah your God. | You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God. |
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. | And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses. |
