Olive Oil, Bread and Incense
1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil made from pressed olives. Use it to keep the lamps burning and giving light all the time. 3Aaron must take care of the lamps in front of the Lord from evening until morning all the time. This is a law that will last for all time to come. The lamps are outside the curtain in front of the tablets of the covenant law in the tent of meeting. 4The lamps are on the pure gold lampstand in front of the Lord. They must be taken care of all the time.
5“Get the finest flour and bake 12 loaves of bread. Use seven pounds of flour for each loaf. 6Arrange them in two stacks. Put six loaves in each stack on the table made out of pure gold. The table stands in front of the Lord. 7By each stack put some pure incense. It will remind you that all good things come from the Lord. Burn the incense in place of the bread. The incense is a food offering presented to the Lord. 8The bread must be set out in front of the Lord regularly. Do it every Sabbath day. It will be Israel’s duty to provide it for all time to come. 9The bread belongs to Aaron and his sons. They must eat it in the holy area. It is a very holy part of their regular share of the food offerings presented to the Lord.”
A Person Who Speaks Evil Is Put to Death
10There was a man who had an Israelite mother. His father was born in Egypt. The man went out among the Israelites. A fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite. 11The son of the Israelite woman spoke evil things against the Lord by using a curse. So the people brought him to Moses. The name of the man’s mother was Shelomith. She was the daughter of Dibri. Dibri was from the tribe of Dan. 12The people kept her son under guard until they could find out what the Lord wanted them to do.
13Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said, 14“Get the man who spoke evil things against the Lord. Take him outside the camp. All those who heard him say those things must place their hands on his head. Then the whole community must kill him by throwing stones at him. 15Say to the Israelites, ‘Anyone who curses me will be held accountable. 16Anyone who speaks evil things against my Name must be put to death. The whole community must kill them by throwing stones at them. It does not matter whether they are an outsider or an Israelite. When they speak evil things against my Name, they must be put to death.
17“ ‘Anyone who kills another human being must be put to death. 18Anyone who kills someone’s animal must pay its owner. A life must be taken for a life. 19Suppose someone hurts their neighbor. Then what they have done must be done to them. 20A bone must be broken for a bone. An eye must be put out for an eye. A tooth must be knocked out for a tooth. The one who has hurt his neighbor must be hurt in the same way. 21Whoever kills an animal must pay its owner. But if they kill a human being, they must be put to death. 22The same law applies whether they are an outsider or an Israelite. I am the Lord your God.’ ”
23Then Moses spoke to the Israelites. They got the man who had spoken evil things against the Lord. They took him outside the camp. There they killed him by throwing stones at him. The Israelites did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
燈和供餅的條例
1耶和華對摩西說： 2「你要吩咐以色列人給你拿來純橄欖油，作點燈之用，使燈常常亮著。 3在會幕遮掩約櫃的幔子外，亞倫要負責照看燈，使燈從晚上到早晨一直亮著。這是你們世世代代都要遵守的律例。 4亞倫要常常照看這些放在純金燈臺上的燈。
5「你要用細麵粉烤十二個餅，每個餅用兩公斤細麵粉。 6你要把餅擺成兩行放在耶和華面前的純金桌子上，每行六個， 7每行餅上放一些純乳香，象徵這些餅是獻給耶和華的火祭。 8每逢安息日，要定期把餅擺在耶和華面前。這是以色列人要永遠遵守的約。 9這些餅要歸亞倫及其子孫。他們要在聖潔之處吃，因為在獻給耶和華的火祭中，這是至聖之物，要永遠歸祭司所有。」
處死褻瀆聖名者
10有一個人，母親是以色列人，父親是埃及人，在營中與一個以色列人打起架來。 11他竟說咒詛的話，褻瀆了上帝的名，他們把他帶到摩西那裡。原來他母親叫示羅密，是但支派示伯利的女兒。 12他們把他關押起來，等候耶和華的指示。 13耶和華對摩西說： 14「把那褻瀆聖名的人帶到營外，叫聽見的人把手放在他頭上，然後全體會眾要用石頭打死他。 15你要告訴以色列人，誰咒詛上帝，誰就要承擔自己的罪。 16凡褻瀆耶和華聖名的，必須被處死，全體會眾要用石頭打死他。不論是外族人還是以色列人，凡褻瀆聖名的，都必須被處死。 17凡殺人的，必須被處死。 18打死別人牲畜的，必須賠償牲畜，以命還命。 19有人傷害別人，也要同樣對待他， 20要以眼還眼，以牙還牙。他怎樣傷害別人，也要怎樣傷害他。 21打死別人牲畜的，必須賠償牲畜；殺人的，必須償命。 22不論是以色列人還是外族人，都要遵守這些律法。我是你們的上帝耶和華。」 23於是，摩西把這些話告訴以色列人，他們就按照耶和華對摩西的吩咐，把那褻瀆聖名的人帶到營外，用石頭打死了。
