| 1 | And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: |
| 2 | Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and dearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually, |
| 3 | Without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall set them from evening until morning before the Lord, by a perpetual service and rite in your generations. |
| 4 | They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually. |
| 5 | Thou shalt take also fine hour, and shalt bake twelve leaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf: |
| 6 | And thou shalt set them six and six one against another upon the most clean table before the Lord: |
| 7 | And thou shalt put upon them the dearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of the Lord. |
| 8 | Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord, being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant: |
| 9 | And they shall be Aaron's and his sons', that they may eat them in the holy place: because it is most holy of the sacrifices of the Lord by a perpetual right. |
| 10 | And behold there went out the son of a woman of Israel, whom she had of an Egyptian, among the children of Israel, and fell at words in the camp with a man of Israel. |
| 11 | And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was brought to Moses: (now his mother was called Salumith, the daughter of Dabri, of the tribe of Dan:) |
| 12 | And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command. |
| 13 | And the Lord spoke to Moses, |
| 14 | Saying: Bring forth the blasphemer without the camp, and let them that heard him, put their hands upon his head, and let all the people stone him. |
| 15 | And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: the man that curseth his God, shall bear his sin: |
| 16 | And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die: all the multitude shall stone him, whether he be a native or a stranger. He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die. |
| 17 | He that striketh and killeth a man, dying let him die. |
| 18 | He that killeth a beast, shall make it good, that is to say, shall give beast for beast. |
| 19 | He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him: |
| 20 | Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, shall he restore. What blemish he gave, the like shall he be compelled to suffer. |
| 21 | He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished. |
| 22 | Let there be equal judgment among you, whether he be a stranger, or a native that offends: because I am the Lord your God. |
| 23 | And Moses spoke to the children of Israel: and they brought forth him that had blasphemed, without the camp, and they stoned him. And the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses. |
