The Oil for the Lamp and the Bread of the Presence
The Oil for the Lamp and the Bread of the Presence
1And Jehovah spake unto Moses , saying , 2Command the children of Israel , that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light , to cause a lamp to burn continually . 3Without 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 . 4He shall keep in order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before Jehovah continually . 5And thou shalt take fine flour , and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts of an ephah shall be in one cake . 6And thou shalt set them in two rows , six on a row , upon the pure table before Jehovah . 7And 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 . 8Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before Jehovah continually ; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel , an everlasting covenant . 9And 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 .
The Punishment for Blasphemy
10And 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 : 11and 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 . 12And they put him in ward , that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of Jehovah . 13And Jehovah spake unto Moses , saying , 14Bring 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 . 15And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel , saying , Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin . 16And 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 . 17And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death . 18And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good , life for life . 19And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor ; as he hath done , so shall it be done to him : 20breach for breach , eye for eye , tooth for tooth ; as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto him . 21And he that killeth a beast shall make it good : and he that killeth a man shall be put to death . 22Ye shall have one manner of law , as well for the sojourner , as for the home-born: for I am Jehovah your God . 23And 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 .
