Leviticus 24:1-23 CEB

[1] The LORD said to Moses: [2] Command the Israelites to bring pure, pressed olive oil to you for the lamp, to keep a light burning constantly. [3] Aaron will tend the lamp, which will be inside the meeting tent but outside the inner curtain of the covenant document, from evening until morning before the LORD. This is a permanent rule throughout your future generations. [4] Aaron must continually tend the lights on the pure lampstand before the LORD. [5] You will take choice flour and bake twelve loaves of flatbread, two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf. [6] You must place them in two stacks, six in a stack, on the pure table before the LORD. [7] Put pure frankincense on each stack, as a token portion for the bread; it is a food gift for the LORD. [8] Aaron will always set it out before the LORD, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a permanent covenant. [9] It will belong to Aaron and his sons. They must eat it in a holy place because it is the most holy part of their share of the LORD’s food gifts, a permanent portion. [10] The son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father came out among the Israelites. A fight broke out between this half-Israelite and another Israelite man in the camp, [11] during which the half-Israelite blasphemed the Lord’s name and cursed. So he was brought to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, Dibri’s daughter from the tribe of Dan.) [12] He was put under guard until they could determine the LORD’s verdict. [13] Then the LORD said to Moses: [14] Take the one who cursed outside the camp. All who heard him will press their hands on his head. Then the whole community will stone him. [15] Tell the Israelites: Anyone who curses God will be liable to punishment. [16] And anyone who blasphemes the LORD’s name must be executed. The whole community will stone that person. Immigrant and citizen alike: whenever someone blasphemes the Lord’s name, that person will be executed. [17] If anyone kills another person, they must be executed. [18] Someone who kills an animal may make amends for it: a life for a life. [19] If someone injures a fellow citizen, they will suffer the same injury they inflicted: [20] broken bone for broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The same injury the person inflicted on the other will be inflicted on them. [21] Someone who kills an animal must make amends for it, but whoever kills a human being must be executed. [22] There is but one law on this matter for you, immigrant or citizen alike, because I am the LORD your God. [23] Moses told this to the Israelites. So they took the one who had cursed outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did just as the LORD commanded Moses.
