Leviticus 24 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Lamp and the Bread of the Sanctuary

1 Then the LORD ^H3068 spoke ^H1696 to Moses ^H4872, saying ^H559,

2 “Command ^H6680 the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 that they bring ^H3947 to you clear ^H2134 oil ^H8081 from beaten ^H3795 olives ^H2132 for the [fn]light ^H3974, to make a lamp ^H5216 [fn]burn ^H5927 continually ^H8548. 3 Outside ^H4480 H2351 the veil ^H6532 of the testimony ^H5715 in the tent ^H168 of meeting ^H4150, Aaron ^H175 shall keep ^H6186 it in ^H6186 order ^H6186 from evening ^H6153 to morning ^H1242 before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068 continually ^H8548; it shall be a permanent ^H5769 statute ^H2708 throughout your generations ^H1755. 4 He shall keep ^H6186 the lamps ^H5216 in ^H6186 order ^H6186 on the pure ^H2889 gold lampstand ^H4501 before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068 continually ^H8548.

5 “Then you shall take ^H3947 fine ^H5560 flour ^H5560 and bake ^H644 twelve ^H8147 H6240 [fn]cakes ^H2471 with it; [fn]two-tenths ^H8147 H6241 of an ephah shall be in each ^H259 cake ^H2471. 6 And you shall set ^H7760 them in two ^H8147 rows ^H4635, six ^H8337 to a row ^H4635, on the pure ^H2889 gold table ^H7979 before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068. 7 You shall put ^H5414 pure ^H2134 frankincense ^H3828 on each row ^H4635 so that it may be a memorial ^H234 portion ^H234 for the bread ^H3899, an offering ^H801 by ^H801 fire ^H801 to the LORD ^H3068. 8 Every Sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117 he shall set ^H6186 it in ^H6186 order ^H6186 before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068 continually ^H8548; it is an everlasting ^H5769 covenant ^H1285 [fn]for the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478. 9 And it shall be for Aaron ^H175 and his sons ^H1121, and they shall eat ^H398 it in a holy ^H6918 place ^H4725; for it is most ^H6944 holy ^H6944 to him from the LORD’S ^H3068 offerings ^H801 by ^H801 fire ^H801, his portion ^H2706 forever ^H5769.”

10 Now the son ^H1121 of an Israelite ^H3482 woman ^H802—his father ^H1121 H376 was an Egyptian ^H4713—went ^H3318 out ^H3318 among ^H8432 the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478; and the Israelite ^H3482 woman’s ^H3482 son ^H1121 and an Israelite ^H3481 man ^H376 had ^H5327 a ^H5327 fight ^H5327 within the camp ^H4264. 11 And the son ^H1121 of the Israelite ^H3482 woman ^H802 blasphemed ^H6895 the Name ^H8034 and cursed ^H7043. So they brought ^H935 him to Moses ^H4872. (Now his mother’s ^H517 name ^H8034 was Shelomith ^H8019, the daughter ^H1323 of Dibri ^H1704, of the tribe ^H4294 of Dan ^H1835.) 12 Then they put ^H5117 him in custody ^H4929, waiting for Moses to give ^H6567 them a ^H6567 clear ^H6567 decision ^H6567 in ^H5921 accordance ^H5921 with ^H5921 the command ^H6310 of the LORD ^H3068.

13 Then the LORD ^H3068 spoke ^H1696 to Moses ^H4872, saying ^H559, 14 “Bring ^H3318 the one who has cursed ^H7043 outside ^{H413 H4480 H2351} the camp ^H4264, and have all ^H3605 who heard ^H8085 him lay ^H5564 their hands ^H3027 on his head ^H7218; then have all ^H3605 the congregation ^H5712 stone ^H7275 him. 15 You shall also speak ^H1696 to the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478, saying ^H559, ‘If ^H3588 anyone ^H376 curses ^H7043 his God ^H430, then he will bear ^H5375 the responsibility for his sin ^H2399. 16 Moreover, the one who blasphemes ^H5344 the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068 must ^H4191 be put ^H4191 to ^H4191 death ^H4191; all ^H3605 the congregation ^H5712 shall certainly ^H7275 stone ^H7275 him. The stranger ^H1616 as well as the native ^H249, when he blasphemes ^H5344 the Name ^H8034, shall be put ^H4191 to ^H4191 death ^H4191.

An Eye for an Eye

17 ‘Now if ^H3588 someone ^H376 [fn]takes ^H5221 any ^H3605 human ^H120 life ^H5315, he must ^H4191 be put ^H4191 to ^H4191 death ^H4191.

18 But the one who [fn]takes ^H5221 the life ^H5315 of an animal ^H929 shall make ^H7999 restitution ^H7999, life ^H5315 for life ^H5315. 19 If ^H3588 someone ^H376 injures ^H5414 H3971 his neighbor ^H5997, just ^H834 as ^H834 he has done ^H6213, so ^H3651 shall it be done ^H6213 to him: 20 fracture ^H7667 for fracture ^H7667, eye ^H5869 for eye ^H5869, tooth ^H8127 for tooth ^H8127; just ^H834 as ^H834 he has injured ^H5414 H3971 a person ^H120, so ^H3651 shall it be [fn]inflicted ^H5414 on him. 21 So the one who [fn]kills ^H5221 an animal ^H929 shall make ^H7999 restitution ^H7999, but the one who [fn]kills ^H5221 a person ^H120 shall be put ^H4191 to ^H4191 death ^H4191. 22 There shall be only one ^H259 [fn]standard ^H4941 for you; it shall be for the stranger ^H1616 as well as the native ^H249, for I am the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430.’” 23 Then Moses ^H4872 spoke ^H1696 to the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478, and they brought ^H3318 the one who had cursed ^H7043 outside ^{H413 H4480 H2351} the camp ^H4264, and stoned ^H7275 him with stones ^H68. So the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 did ^H6213 just ^H834 as ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 had commanded ^H6680 Moses ^H4872.
