Leviticus 24 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Lev 24:1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Lev 24:2'Command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure olive oil, beaten, for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually;
Lev 24:3at the outside of the vail of the testimony in the tent of meeting doth Aaron arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah continually -- a statute age-during to your generations;
Lev 24:4by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.
Lev 24:5'And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,
Lev 24:6and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,
Lev 24:7and thou hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah.
Lev 24:8'On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel -- a covenant age-during;
Lev 24:9and it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it is most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah -- a statute age-during.'
Lev 24:10And a son of an Israelitish woman goeth out (and he is son of an Egyptian man), in the midst of the sons of Israel, and strive in the camp do the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel,
Lev 24:11and the son of the Israelitish woman execrateth the Name, and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his mother's name is Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;
Lev 24:12and he causeth him to rest in charge -- to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.
Lev 24:13And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Lev 24:14'Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him.
Lev 24:15'And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God -- then he hath borne his sin;
Lev 24:16and he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.

Lev 24:18'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.
Lev 24:19'And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he hath done so it is done to him;
Lev 24:20breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him.
Lev 24:21'And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth the life of man is put to death;
Lev 24:22one judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I am Jehovah your God.'
