* Then the LORD spoke to Moses , saying : * "Command the children of Israel that they bring to you pure oil of pressed olives for the light , to make the lamps burn continually . * Outside the veil of the Testimony , in the tabernacle of meeting , Aaron shall be in charge of it from evening until morning before the LORD continually ; it shall be a statute forever in your generations . * He shall be in charge of the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually . * "And you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it . Two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake . * You shall set them in two rows , six in a row , on the pure gold table before the LORD . * And you shall put pure frankincense on 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 , being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant . * And it shall be for Aaron and his sons , and they shall eat it in a holy place ; for it is most holy to him from the offerings of the LORD made by fire , by a perpetual statute ." * Now the son of an Israelite woman , whose father was an Egyptian , went out among the children of Israel ; and this Israelite woman 's son and a man of Israel fought each other in the camp . * And the Israelite woman 's son blasphemed the name of the LORD and cursed ; and so they brought him to Moses . (His mother 's name was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri , of the tribe of Dan .) * Then they put him in custody , that the mind of the LORD might be shown to them . * And the LORD spoke to Moses , saying , * "Take outside the camp him who has cursed ; then let all who heard him lay their hands on his head , and let all the congregation stone him . * "Then you shall speak to the children of Israel , saying : "Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin . * And whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death . All the congregation shall certainly stone him , the stranger as well as him who is born in the land . When he blasphemes the name of the LORD , he shall be put to death . * "Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death . * Whoever kills an animal shall make it good , animal for animal . * "If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor , as he has done , so shall it be done to him -- * fracture for fracture , eye for eye , tooth for tooth ; as he has caused disfigurement of a man , so shall it be done to him . * And whoever kills an animal shall restore it ; but whoever kills a man shall be put to death . * You shall have the same law for the stranger and for one from your own country ; for I am the LORD your God ."' * Then Moses spoke to the children of Israel ; and they took outside the camp him who had cursed , and stoned him with stones . So the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses .
