1Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Command the ⌞Israelites⌟ that they should bring pure olive oil from beaten olives for the light to ⌞present⌟ a lamp continually. 3Aaron shall arrange for it ⌞outside⌟ the curtain of the testimony in the tent of assembly from evening until morning ⌞before⌟ Yahweh continually; it shall be a ⌞lasting statute⌟ throughout your generations. 4On the pure golden lampstand he shall arrange for the lamps ⌞before⌟ Yahweh continually. 5“And you shall take finely milled flour, and you shall bake with it twelve ring-shaped bread cakes: each one shall be two-tenths of an ephah. 6And you shall place them in two rows, six to the row, on the pure gold table ⌞before⌟ Yahweh. 7And you shall put pure frankincense on each row so that it shall be for the bread as a memorial offering, an offering made by fire for Yahweh. 8⌞On every Sabbath⌟ he shall arrange it in rows ⌞before⌟ Yahweh continually; they are from the ⌞Israelites⌟ as an everlasting covenant. 9And it shall be for Aaron and for his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, because it is ⌞a most holy thing⌟ for him from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire—a ⌞lasting rule⌟.” 10And an Israelite woman’s son, and he was an Egyptian man’s son, went out in the midst of the ⌞Israelites⌟; and the Israelite woman’s son and an Israelite man fought in the camp. 11Then the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the name, and he cursed, so they brought him to Moses—and the name of his mother was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan. 12Then they put him in custody ⌞so that⌟ the matter might be made clear to them in accordance with the mouth of Yahweh. 13Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 14“Bring the curser ⌞outside the camp⌟, and all the hearers shall place their hands on his head, and the whole community shall stone him. 15And you shall speak to the ⌞Israelites⌟, saying, ‘⌞Any man⌟ when he curses his God shall bear his sin. 16And he who blasphemes Yahweh’s name certainly shall be put to death; the whole community certainly shall stone him. As the alien, so the native shall be put to death at blaspheming his name. 17“ ‘And when a man kills any human being, he certainly shall be put to death. 18And ⌞he who kills⌟ a domestic animal must repay for it life in place of life. 19And when a man ⌞causes⌟ a physical defect in his fellow citizen ⌞according to⌟ what he has done, so it shall be done to him: 20fracture in place of fracture, eye in place of eye, tooth in place of tooth—⌞according to⌟ the physical defect he ⌞causes⌟ to the person, likewise it shall be ⌞caused⌟ to him. 21And a killer of a domestic animal must repay for it, and a killer of a human shall be put to death. 22⌞You must have⌟ one norm; as for the alien, so it must be for the native, because I am Yahweh your God.’ ” 23Thus Moses spoke to the ⌞Israelites⌟, and they brought the curser ⌞outside the camp⌟, and they stoned him with stones, and the ⌞Israelites⌟ did just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
