The Third Book of Moses, called Leviticus 24

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses saying

2 Command the children of Israel that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light to cause the lamps to burn continually

3 Without the vail of the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually it shall be a statute for ever in your generations

4 He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually

5 And thou shalt take fine flour and bake twelve cakes thereof two tenth deals shall be in one cake

6 And thou shalt set them in two rows six on a row upon the pure table before the LORD

7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row that it may be on the bread for a memorial even an offering made by fire unto the LORD

8 Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant

9 And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’ and they shall eat it in the holy place for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute

10 And the son of an Israelitish woman whose father was an Egyptian went out among the children of Israel and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp

11 And the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name of the LORD and cursed And they brought him unto Moses and his other’s name was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan

12 And they put him in ward that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them

13 And the LORD spake unto Moses saying

14 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head and let all the congregation stone him

15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel saying Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin

16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD he shall surely be put to death and all the congregation shall certainly stone him as well the stranger as he that is born in the land when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD shall be put to death

17 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death

18 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good beast for beast

19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour as he hath done so shall it be done to him

20 Breach for breach eye for eye tooth for tooth as he hath caused a blemish in a man so shall it be done to him again

21 And he that killeth a beast he shall restore it and he that killeth a man he shall be put to death

22 Ye 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

23 And Moses spake to the children of Israel that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp and stone him with stones And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses
