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 ⚑

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 ⚑

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 ⚑
