* Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying , * "Command the children of Israel , that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light , to cause a lamp to burn continually . * Outside of the veil of the Testimony , in the Tent of Meeting , shall Aaron keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh continually : it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations . * He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before Yahweh continually . * "You shall take fine flour , and bake twelve cakes of it : two tenth parts of an ephah {1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 23 of a bushel } shall be in one cake . * You shall set them in two rows , six on a row , on the pure gold table before Yahweh . * You shall put pure frankincense on each row , that it may be to the bread for a memorial , even an offering made by fire to Yahweh . * Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before Yahweh continually . It is on the behalf of the children of Israel an everlasting covenant . * It shall be for Aaron and his sons ; and they shall eat it in a holy place : for it is most holy to him of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire by a perpetual statute ." * The son of an Israelite woman , whose father was an Egyptian , went out among the children of Israel ; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp . * The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name , and cursed ; and they brought him to Moses . His mother 's name was Shelomith , the daughter of Dibri , of the tribe of Dan . * They put him in custody , until the will of Yahweh should be declared to them . * Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying , * "Bring out of the camp him who cursed ; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head , and let all the congregation stone him . * You shall speak to the children of Israel , saying , 'Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin . * He who blasphemes the name of Yahweh , he shall surely be put to death ; all the congregation shall certainly stone him : the foreigner as well as the native-born , when he blasphemes the Name , shall be put to death . * "'He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death . * He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good , life for life . * If anyone injures 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 injured someone , so shall it be done to him . * He who kills an animal shall make it good ; and he who kills a man shall be put to death . * You shall have one kind of law , for the foreigner as well as the native-born : for I am Yahweh your God .'" * Moses spoke to the children of Israel ; and they brought out him who had cursed out of the camp , and stoned him with stones . The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses .
