New Living Translation
English Standard Version
“Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.
“Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from beaten olives for the lamp, that a light may be kept burning regularly.
Outside the veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall arrange it from evening to morning before the Lord regularly. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
Aaron and the priests must tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand continually in the LORD’s presence.
Place the bread before the LORD on the pure gold table, and arrange the loaves in two stacks, with six loaves in each stack.
Put some pure frankincense near each stack to serve as a representative offering, a special gift presented to the LORD.
And you shall put pure frankincense on each pile, that it may go with the bread as a memorial portion as a food offering to the Lord.
Every Sabbath day this bread must be laid out before the LORD as a gift from the Israelites; it is an ongoing expression of the eternal covenant.
Every Sabbath day Aaron shall arrange it before the Lord regularly; it is from the people of Israel as a covenant forever.
The loaves of bread will belong to Aaron and his descendants, who must eat them in a sacred place, for they are most holy. It is the permanent right of the priests to claim this portion of the special gifts presented to the LORD.”
And it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, since it is for him a most holy portion out of the Lord’s food offerings, a perpetual due.”
An Example of Just Punishment
One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father came out of his tent and got into a fight with one of the Israelite men.
Punishment for Blasphemy
Now an Israelite woman’s son, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the people of Israel. And the Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought in the camp,
Now an Israelite woman’s son, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the people of Israel. And the Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought in the camp,
and the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the Name, and cursed. Then they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
They kept the man in custody until the LORD’s will in the matter should become clear to them.
And they put him in custody, till the will of the Lord should be clear to them.
“Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and tell all those who heard the curse to lay their hands on his head. Then let the entire community stone him to death.
“Bring out of the camp the one who cursed, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
Say to the people of Israel: Those who curse their God will be punished for their sin.
And speak to the people of Israel, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
Anyone who blasphemes the Name of the LORD must be stoned to death by the whole community of Israel. Any native-born Israelite or foreigner among you who blasphemes the Name of the LORD must be put to death.
Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
“Anyone who takes another person’s life must be put to death.
An Eye for an Eye
“Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death.
“Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death.
“Anyone who kills another person’s animal must pay for it in full — a live animal for the animal that was killed.
Whoever takes an animal’s life shall make it good, life for life.
“Anyone who injures another person must be dealt with according to the injury inflicted —
If anyone injures his neighbor, as he has done it shall be done to him,
a fracture for a fracture, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever anyone does to injure another person must be paid back in kind.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a person shall be given to him.
“Whoever kills an animal must pay for it in full, but whoever kills another person must be put to death.
Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, and whoever kills a person shall be put to death.
“This same standard applies both to native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you. I am the LORD your God.”
You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God.”
After Moses gave all these instructions to the Israelites, they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him to death. The Israelites did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and they brought out of the camp the one who had cursed and stoned him with stones. Thus the people of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
