Mafuta Na Mikate Mbele Za Bwana
1Bwana akamwambia Mose, 224:2 Kut 27:20; 39:37; Hes 8:2-4“Waagize Waisraeli wakuletee mafuta safi ya zeituni yaliyokamuliwa kwa ajili ya mwanga ili taa ziwe zinawaka daima. 324:3 Kut 12:14Nje ya pazia la Ushuhuda ndani ya Hema la Kukutania, Aroni ataziwasha taa mbele za Bwana kuanzia jioni hadi asubuhi bila kuzima. Hili litakuwa agizo la kudumu kwa vizazi vijavyo. 424:4 Kut 25:31; 31:8Taa zilizo juu ya kinara cha dhahabu safi mbele za Bwana lazima zihudumiwe daima.
524:5 Kut 25:30; Ebr 9:2; Law 23:13; Kut 40:24“Chukua unga laini, uoke mikate kumi na miwili, ukitumia sehemu mbili za kumi za efa24:5 Sehemu mbili za kumi za efa ni sawa na kilo mbili. za unga kwa kila mkate. 624:6 Kut 25:23-30; Hes 4:7; 1Fal 7:48; Ebr 9:2; 1Nya 9:32Iweke katika mistari miwili, kila mstari mikate sita, uiweke mbele za Bwana juu ya meza iliyotengenezwa kwa dhahabu safi. 724:7 Law 2:1-2Kando ya kila mstari, weka uvumba safi kama sehemu ya kumbukumbu ili kuwakilisha mikate kuwa sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa kuteketezwa kwa moto. 824:8 Kut 25:30; 1Nya 9:32; 2Nya 2:2-4; Mt 12:5Mikate hii itawekwa mbele za Bwana kila wakati, Sabato baada ya Sabato, kwa niaba ya Waisraeli, kuwa Agano la kudumu. 924:9 Law 6:16-17; 8:31; Mt 12:4; Mk 2:26; Lk 6:4; 1Sam 9:21; Kut 29:33Hii ni mali ya Aroni na wanawe, watakaoila katika mahali patakatifu, kwa sababu ni sehemu takatifu sana ya fungu lao la kawaida la sadaka iliyotolewa kwa Bwana kwa kuteketezwa kwa moto.”
Mwenye Kukufuru Apigwa Mawe
10Basi mwana wa mama Mwisraeli na baba Mmisri alikwenda miongoni mwa Waisraeli, nayo mapigano yakatokea ndani ya kambi kati yake na Mwisraeli. 1124:11 Kut 3:15; 18:22; 20:7; 31:2; 2Fal 6:33; Ay 1:11; Hes 1:4; 7:2; 10:15; 13:2; 17:2; Yos 7:18; 1Fal 7:18Huyu mwana wa mwanamke Mwisraeli akalikufuru Jina la Bwana kwa kulaani; kwa hiyo wakamleta kwa Mose. (Jina la mama yake aliitwa Shelomithi binti wa Dibri, wa kabila la Dani.) 1224:12 Kut 18:16; Hes 15:34Nao wakamweka mahabusu mpaka mapenzi ya Bwana yawe wazi kwao.
13Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose: 1424:14 Law 20:2; Kum 13:9; 17:5-7; Mdo 7:58“Mchukue huyo aliyekufuru nje ya kambi. Wale wote waliomsikia akikufuru wataweka mikono juu ya kichwa chake, kisha kusanyiko lote litampiga mawe. 1524:15 Kut 22:28; Law 5:1; Hes 9:13Waambie Waisraeli: ‘Ikiwa mtu yeyote atamlaani Mungu wake, atakuwa na hatia kwa uovu wake; 1624:16 Kut 22:28; 21:21; 1Fal 21:10-13; Mt 26:66; Mk 14:64; Yn 10:33; Mdo 7:58; Za 74:10, 18yeyote atakayekufuru Jina la Bwana ni lazima auawe. Kusanyiko lote litampiga kwa mawe. Iwe ni mgeni au mzawa, atakapolikufuru Jina la Bwana, ni lazima auawe.
1724:17 Mwa 9:6; Kut 21:12; Kum 27:24; Hes 35:31; Mt 26:52; Ufu 13:10“ ‘Kama mtu yeyote atamuua mtu mwingine, ni lazima auawe. 18Mtu yeyote auaye mnyama wa mtu mwingine lazima afidie, uhai kwa uhai. 19Ikiwa mtu yeyote atamjeruhi jirani yake, chochote alichomtenda naye atatendewa: 2024:20 Kut 21:24; Mt 5:38; Law 19:34; Kum 10:17-19iwapo amemvunja mfupa atavunjwa mfupa, jicho kwa jicho, jino kwa jino. Kama alivyomjeruhi mwenzake, vivyo hivyo ndivyo atakavyojeruhiwa. 2124:21 Kut 21:33Yeyote auaye mnyama wa mtu lazima alipe fidia, lakini yeyote auaye mtu, lazima auawe. 2224:22 Kut 12:49; 22:21; Eze 47:22; Hes 9:14; 15:16Mtakuwa na sheria iyo hiyo kwa mgeni na kwa mzawa. Mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu.’ ”
2324:23 Kum 13:9; 17:7Kisha Mose akasema na Waisraeli, nao wakamchukua yule aliyekufuru nje ya kambi na kumpiga mawe. Waisraeli wakafanya kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.
Olive Oil and Bread Set Before the Lord
1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning continually. 3Outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps before the Lord from evening till morning, continually. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. 4The lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord must be tended continually.
5“Take the finest flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using two-tenths of an ephah24:5 That is, probably about 7 pounds or about 3.2 kilograms for each loaf. 6Arrange them in two stacks, six in each stack, on the table of pure gold before the Lord. 7By each stack put some pure incense as a memorial24:7 Or representative portion to represent the bread and to be a food offering presented to the Lord. 8This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant. 9It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in the sanctuary area, because it is a most holy part of their perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord.”
A Blasphemer Put to Death
10Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite. 11The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.) 12They put him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them.
13Then the Lord said to Moses: 14“Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him. 15Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible; 16anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death.
17“ ‘Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death. 18Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution—life for life. 19Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. 21Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death. 22You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the Lord your God.’ ”
23Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses.
