Light and Bread

24GOD spoke to Moses:H3068H1696H4872H559 2"Order the People of Israel to bring you virgin olive oil for light so that the lamps may be kept burning continually.H6680H1121H3478H3947H2134H8081H2132H3795H3974H5216H5927H8548 3Aaron is in charge of keeping these lamps burning in front of the curtain that screens The Testimony in the Tent of Meeting from evening to morning continually before GOD. This is a perpetual decree down through the generations.H2351H6532H5715H168H4150H175H6186H6153H1242H6440H3068H8548H2708H5769H1755 4Aaron is responsible for keeping the lamps burning continually on the Lampstand of pure gold before GOD.H6186H5216H2889H4501H6440H3068H8548 5"Take fine flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using about four quarts of flour to a loaf.H3947H5560H644H6240H2471H8147H6241H259H2471 6Arrange them in two rows of six each on the Table of pure gold before GOD.H7760H8147H4634H8337H4635H2889H7979H6440H3068 7Along each row spread pure incense, marking the bread as a memorial; it is a gift to GOD.H5414H2134H3828H4635H3899H234H801H3068 8Regularly, every Sabbath, this bread is to be set before GOD, a perpetual covenantal response from Israel.H7676H3117H6186H6440H3068H8548H1121H3478H5769H1285 9The bread then goes to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a Holy Place. It is their most holy share from the gifts to GOD. This is a perpetual decree."H175H1121H398H6918H4725H6944H6944H801H3068H801H5769H2706 10One day the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites. A fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.H1121H3482H802H1121H376H4713H3318H8432H1121H3478H3481H1121H3482H376H3478H5327H4264 11The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name of GOD and cursed. They brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan.H3482H802H1121H5344H8034H7043H935H4872H517H8034H8019H1323H1704H4294H1835 12They put him in custody waiting for GOD's will to be revealed to them.H3240H4929H6310H3068H6567 13Then GOD spoke to Moses:H3068H1696H4872H559 14"Take the blasphemer outside the camp. Have all those who heard him place their hands on his head; then have the entire congregation stone him.H3318H7043H2351H4264H8085H5564H3027H7218H5712H7275 15Then tell the Israelites, Anyone who curses God will be held accountable;H1696H1121H3478H559H376H3588H7043H430H5375H2399 16anyone who blasphemes the Name of GOD must be put to death. The entire congregation must stone him. It makes no difference whether he is a foreigner or a native, if he blasphemes the Name, he will be put to death.H5344H8034H3068H4191H4191H5712H7275H7275H1616H249H5344H8034H4191 17"Anyone who hits and kills a fellow human must be put to death.H376H5221H5315H120H4191H4191 18Anyone who kills someone's animal must make it good—a life for a life.H5221H5315H929H7999H5315H5315 19Anyone who injures his neighbor will get back the same as he gave:H376H5414H3971H5997H6213H6213 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. What he did to hurt that person will be done to him.H7667H7667H5869H5869H8127H8127H5414H3971H120H5414 21Anyone who hits and kills an animal must make it good, but whoever hits and kills a fellow human will be put to death.H5221H929H7999H5221H120H4191 22And no double standards: the same rule goes for foreigners and natives. I am GOD, your God."H259H4941H1616H249H3068H430 23Moses then spoke to the People of Israel. They brought the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. The People of Israel followed the orders GOD had given Moses.H4872H1696H1121H3478H3318H7043H2351H4264H7275H68H1121H3478H6213H3068H6680H4872
