- Chapter 24 -

(Exodus 27:20–21)
1
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2
“Command the sons of Israel, and they bring pure oil of beaten olive to you for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually;
3
Aaron arranges it at the outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, from evening until morning before YHWH continually—a continuous statute throughout your generations;
4
he arranges the lights on the pure lampstand before YHWH continually.

The Showbread

(Exodus 25:23–30; Exodus 37:10–16)
5
And you have taken flour, and have baked twelve cakes with it, two-tenth parts are in one cake,
6
and you have set them [in] two rows (six in the row) on the pure table before YHWH,
7
and you have put pure frankincense on the row, and it has been with the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to YHWH.
8
On each Sabbath day he arranges it before YHWH continually, from the sons of Israel—a perpetual covenant;
9
and it has been for Aaron and for his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of YHWH—a continuous statute.”

Punishment for Blasphemy

10
And a son of an Israeli woman goes out (and he [is] son of an Egyptian man) in the midst of the sons of Israel, and the son of the Israeli woman and a man of Israel strive in the camp,
11
and the son of the Israeli woman execrates the Name and reviles; and they bring him to Moses; and his mother’s name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;
12
and he causes him to rest in confinement —to explain to them by the mouth of YHWH.
13
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
14
“Bring out the reviler to the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the congregation has stoned him.
15
And you speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When any man reviles his God—then he has borne his sin;
16
and he who is execrating the Name of YHWH is certainly put to death; all the congregation certainly casts stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, he is put to death.

An Eye for an Eye

(Matthew 5:38–48)
17
And when a man strikes any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
18
And he who strikes a beast repays it, body for body.
19
And when a man puts a blemish in his fellow, as he has done so it is done to him;
20
breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he puts a blemish in a man so it is done in him.
21
And he who strikes a beast repays it, and he who strikes [the life of] man is put to death.
22
One judgment is for you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I [am] your God YHWH.”
23
And Moses speaks to the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler to the outside of the camp, and stone him [with] stone; and the sons of Israel have done as YHWH has commanded Moses.

(Exodus 27:20–21)
1
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2
“Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
3
Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
4
He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lamp stand before the LORD continually.

The Showbread

(Exodus 25:23–30; Exodus 37:10–16)
5
“You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenths of an ephah(a) shall be in one cake.
6
You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD.
7
You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to the LORD.
8
Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually. It is an everlasting covenant on the behalf of the children of Israel.
9
It shall be for Aaron and his sons. They shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.”

Punishment for Blasphemy

10
The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
11
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12
They put him in custody until the LORD’s will should be declared to them.
13
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
14
“Bring him who cursed out of the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15
You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
16
He who blasphemes the LORD’s name, he shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreigner as well as the native-born shall be put to death when he blasphemes the Name.

An Eye for an Eye

(Matthew 5:38–48)
17
“‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18
He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.
19
If anyone injures his neighbor, it shall be done to him as he has done:
20
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. It shall be done to him as he has injured someone.
21
He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
22
You shall have one kind of law for the foreigner as well as the native-born; for I am the LORD your God.’”
23
Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
