Torah

24 ‎(1) the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: ‎(2) Command the Israelite people to bring you clear oil of beaten olives for lighting, for kindling lamps regularly. ‎(3) Aaron shall set them up in the Tent of Meeting outside the curtain of the Pact [to burn] from evening to morning before the LORD regularly; it is a law for all time throughout the ages. ‎(4) He shall set up the lamps on the pure lampstand before the LORD [to burn] regularly. ‎(5) You shall take choice flour and bake of it twelve loaves, two-tenths of a measure for each loaf. ‎(6) Place them on the pure table before the LORD in two rows, six to a row. ‎(7) With each row you shall place pure frankincense, which is to be a token offering for the bread, as an offering by fire to the LORD. ‎(8) He shall arrange them before the LORD regularly every sabbath day—it is a commitment for all time on the part of the Israelites. ‎(9) They shall belong to Aaron and his sons, who shall eat them in the sacred precinct; for they are his as most holy things from the LORD’s offerings by fire, a due for all time. ‎(10) There came out among the Israelites a man whose mother was Israelite and whose father was Egyptian. And a fight broke out in the camp between that half-Israelite and a certain Israelite. ‎(11) The son of the Israelite woman pronounced the Name in blasphemy, and he was brought to Moses—now his mother’s name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan— ‎(12) and he was placed in custody, until the decision of the LORD should be made clear to them. ‎(13) And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: ‎(14) Take the blasphemer outside the camp; and let all who were within hearing lay their hands upon his head, and let the community leadership stone him. ‎(15) And to the Israelite people speak thus: Anyone who blasphemes God shall bear the guilt; ‎(16) and one who also pronounces the name the LORD shall be put to death. The community leadership shall stone that person; stranger or citizen—having thus pronounced the Name—shall be put to death. ‎(17) If any party kills any human being, that person shall be put to death. ‎(18) One who kills a beast shall make restitution for it: life for life. ‎(19) If any party maims another [person]: what was done shall be done in return— ‎(20) fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The injury inflicted on a human being shall be inflicted in return. ‎(21) One who kills a beast shall make restitution for it; but one who kills a human being shall be put to death. ‎(22) You shall have one standard for stranger and citizen alike: for I the LORD am your God. ‎(23) Moses spoke thus to the Israelites. And they took the blasphemer outside the camp and pelted him with stones. The Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
