Leviticus 24 · Parashat Emor

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Command the children of Yisra᾽el, that they bring to thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.

Outside the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, shall Aharon order it from evening unto morning before the Lord continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.

He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick, before the Lord continually.

And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake of it twelve cakes: two tenth measures shall be in one cake.

And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the Lord.

And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, an everlasting covenant from the children of Yisra᾽el.

And it shall be Aharon’s and his sons’; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetual due.

And the son of a Yisra᾽elite woman, whose father was a Miżrian man, went out among the children of Yisra᾽el: and this son of the Yisra᾽elite woman and a man of Yisra᾽el strove together in the camp;

and the Yisra᾽elite woman’s son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him to Moshe: (and his mother’s name was Shelomit, the daughter of Divri, of the tribe of Dan: )

and they put him in custody, that the mind of the Lord might be shown them.

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Bring forth him that has cursed outside the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

And thou shalt speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, saying, Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.

And he who blasphemes the name of the Lord, shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: both the stranger, and he that is born in the land, when he blasphemes the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.

And he that kills any man shall surely be put to death.

And he that kills a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.

And if a man maim his neighbour; as he has done, so shall it be done to him;

breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he has maimed a man, so shall it be done to him.

And he that kills a beast, he shall restore it: and he that kills a man, he shall be put to death.

You shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the Lord your God.

And Moshe spoke to the children of Yisra᾽el, and they brought him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Yisra᾽el did as the Lord commanded Moshe.
