This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. 24:4 The lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord must be tended continually. 24:5 'Take fine flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf. 24:6 Set them in two rows, six in each row, on the table of pure gold before the Lord. 24:7 Along each row put some pure incense as a memorial portion to represent the bread and to be an offering made to the Lord by fire. 24:8 This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant. 24:9 It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place, because it is a most holy part of their regular share of the offerings made to the Lord by fire.' 24:10 Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite. 24:11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.) 24:12 They put him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them. 24:13 Then the Lord said to Moses: 24:14 'Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him. 24:15 Say to the Israelites: 'If anyone curses his God, he will be held responsible; 24:16 anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him. Whether an alien or native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death. 24:17 ' 'If anyone takes the life of a human being, he must be put to death. 24:18 Anyone who takes the life of someone's animal must make restitution-life for life. 24:19 If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him: 24:20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has injured the other, so he is to be injured. 24:21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death. 24:22 You are to have the same law for the alien and the native-born. I am the Lord your God.' ' 24:23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses.
