24The LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H5592"Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.H6680H1121H3478H3947H2134H8081H2132H3795H3974H5216H5927H85483This is the lampstand that stands in the Tabernacle, in front of the inner curtain that shields the Ark of the Covenant. Aaron must keep the lamps burning in the LORD's presence all night. This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed from generation to generation.H2351H6532H5715H168H4150H175H6186H6153H1242H6440H3068H8548H2708H5769H17554Aaron and the priests must tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand continually in the LORD's presence.H6186H5216H2889H4501H6440H3068H85485"You must bake twelve loaves of bread from choice flour, using four quarts of flour for each loaf.H3947H5560H644H6240H2471H8147H6241H259H24716Place the bread before the LORD on the pure gold table, and arrange the loaves in two rows, with six loaves in each row.H7760H8147H4634H8337H4635H2889H7979H6440H30687Put some pure frankincense near each row to serve as a representative offering, a special gift presented to the LORD.H5414H2134H3828H4635H3899H234H801H30688Every Sabbath day this bread must be laid out before the LORD. The bread is to be received from the people of Israel as a requirement of the eternal covenant.H7676H3117H6186H6440H3068H8548H1121H3478H5769H12859The loaves of bread will belong to Aaron and his descendants, who must eat them in a sacred place, for they are most holy.

An Example of Just Punishment
10One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father came out of his tent and got into a fight with one of the Israelite men.H1121H3482H802H1121H376H4713H3318H8432H1121H3478H3481H1121H3482H376H3478H5327H426411During the fight, this son of an Israelite woman blasphemed the Name of the LORD with a curse. So the man was brought to Moses for judgment. His mother was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan.H3482H802H1121H5344H8034H7043H935H4872H517H8034H8019H1323H1704H4294H183512They kept the man in custody until the LORD's will in the matter should become clear to them.H3240H4929H6310H3068H656713Then the LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H55914"Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and tell all those who heard the curse to lay their hands on his head. Then let the entire community stone him to death.H3318H7043H2351H4264H8085H5564H3027H7218H5712H727515Say to the people of Israel: Those who curse their God will be punished for their sin.H1696H1121H3478H559H376H3588H7043H430H5375H239916Anyone who blasphemes the Name of the LORD must be stoned to death by the whole community of Israel. Any native-born Israelite or foreigner among you who blasphemes the Name of the LORD must be put to death.H5344H8034H3068H4191H4191H5712H7275H7275H1616H249H5344H8034H419117"Anyone who takes another person's life must be put to death.H376H5221H5315H120H4191H419118"Anyone who kills another person's animal must pay for it in full—a live animal for the animal that was killed.H5221H5315H929H7999H5315H531519Anyone who injures another person must be dealt with according to the injury inflicted—H376H5414H3971H5997H6213H621320a fracture for a fracture, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever anyone does to injure another person must be paid back in kind.H7667H7667H5869H5869H8127H8127H5414H3971H120H541421"Whoever kills an animal must pay for it in full, but whoever kills another person must be put to death.H5221H929H7999H5221H120H419122"This same standard applies both to native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you. I am the LORD your God."H259H4941H1616H249H3068H43023After Moses gave all these instructions to the Israelites, they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him to death. The Israelites did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.H4872H1696H1121H3478H3318H7043H2351H4264H7275H68H1121H3478H6213H3068H6680H4872
