Leviticus 24

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh lemor

GOD spoke to Moses, saying:

tsav et-bene yisra'el veyiqkhu elekha shemen zayit zakh katit lamma'or leha'alot ner tamid

Command the Israelite people to bring you clear oil of beaten olives for lighting, for kindling lamps regularly.

mikhuts lefarokhet ha'edut be'ohel mo'ed ya'arokh oto aharon me'erev ad-boqer lifne Adonai tamid khuqqat olam ledorotekhem

Aaron shall set them up in the Tent of Meeting outside the curtain of the Pact [to burn] from evening to morning before GOD regularly; it is a law for all time throughout the ages.

al hammenorah hattehorah ya'arokh et-hannerot lifne Adonai tamid

He shall set up the lamps on the pure lampstand before GOD [to burn] regularly.

velaqakhta solet ve'afita otah shetem esreh khallot shene esronim yihyeh hakhallah ha'ekhat

You shall take choice flour and bake of it twelve loaves, two-tenths of a measure for each loaf.

vesamta otam shetayim ma'arakhot shesh hamma'arakhet al hashulkhan hattahor lifne Adonai

Place them on the pure table before GOD in two rows, six to a row.

venatatta al-hamma'arekhet levonah zakkah vehayetah lallekhem le'azkarah isheh la-Adonai

With each row you shall place pure frankincense, which is to be a token offering for the bread, as an offering by fire to GOD.

beyom hashabbat beyom hashabbat ya'arkhennu lifne Adonai tamid me'et bene-yisra'el berit olam

He shall arrange them before GOD regularly every sabbath day—it is a commitment for all time on the part of the Israelites.

vehayetah le'aharon ulevanayw va'akhaluhu bemaqom qadosh ki qodesh qodashim hu lo me'ishe Adonai khoq-olam

They shall belong to Aaron and his sons, who shall eat them in the sacred precinct; for they are his as most holy things from GOD’s offerings by fire, a due for all time.

vayyetse ben-isha yisre'elit vehu ben-ish mitsri betokh bene yisra'el vayyinnatsu bammakhaneh ben hayyisre'elit ve'ish hayyisre'eli

There came out among the Israelites someone who was the son of an Israelite woman and an Egyptian man. And a fight broke out in the camp between that half-Israelite and a certain Israelite man.

vayyiqqov ben-ha'isha hayyisre'elit et-hashem vayeqallel vayyavi'u oto el-mosheh veshem immo shelomit bat-divri lematteh-dan

The son of the Israelite woman pronounced the Name in blasphemy, and he was brought to Moses—now his mother’s name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan—

vayyannikhuhu bammishmar lifrosh lahem al-pi Adonai

and he was placed in custody, until GOD’s decision should be made clear to them.

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh lemor

And GOD spoke to Moses, saying:

hotse et-hameqallel el-mikhuts lammakhaneh vesamekhu khol-hashome'im et-yedehem al-rosho veragemu oto kol-ha'edah

Take the blasphemer outside the camp; and let all who were within hearing lay their hands upon his head, and let the whole community stone him.

ve'el-bene yisra'el tedabber lemor ish ish ki-yeqallel elohayw venasa kheto

And to the Israelite people speak thus: Anyone who blasphemes God shall bear the guilt;

venoqev shem-Adonai mot yumat ragom yirgemu-vo kol-ha'edah kagger ka'ezrakh benoqvo-shem yumat

and one who also pronounces the name GOD shall be put to death. The whole community shall stone them; stranger or citizen—having thus pronounced the Name—shall be put to death.

ve'ish ki yakkeh kol-nefesh adam mot yumat

Regarding anyone who kills any human being: they shall be put to death.

umakkeh nefesh-behemah yeshallemennah nefesh takhat nafesh

One who kills livestock shall make restitution for it: life for life.

ve'ish ki-yitten mum ba'amito ka'asher asah ken ye'aseh lo

Regarding anyone who maims another person: what was done shall be done in return—

shever takhat shever ayin takhat ayin shen takhat shen ka'asher yitten mum ba'adam ken yinnaten bo

fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The injury inflicted on a human being shall be inflicted in return.

umakkeh vehemah yeshallemennah umakkeh adam yumat

One who kills livestock shall make restitution for it; but one who kills a human being shall be put to death.

mishpat ekhad yihyeh lakhem kagger ka'ezrakh yihyeh ki ani Adonai elohekhem

You shall have one standard for stranger and citizen alike: for I the ETERNAL am your God.

vayedabber mosheh el-bene yisra'el vayyotsi'u et-hameqallel el-mikhuts lammakhaneh vayyirgemu oto aven uvene-yisra'el asu ka'asher tsivvah Adonai et-mosheh

Moses spoke thus to the Israelites. And they took the blasphemer outside the camp and pelted him with stones. The Israelites did as GOD had commanded Moses.
