1Then the Lord said to Moses, 2“Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.[ † ]Exodus 27:20-21
3Outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps continually before the Lord from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come. 4He shall tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually.[ † ]Exodus 25:31Exodus 31:8Exodus 37:17
5You are also to take fine flour and bake twelve loaves, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf,[ † ]Exodus 25:30Exodus 39:36Exodus 40:23 6and set them in two rows—six per row—on the table of pure gold before the Lord.[ † ]Exodus 25:23-241 Kings 7:482 Chronicles 4:192 Chronicles 13:11Hebrews 9:2 7And you are to place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread, a food offering to the Lord.[ † ]Leviticus 2:2-9, 16
8Every Sabbath day the bread is to be set out before the Lord on behalf of the Israelites as a permanent covenant.[ † ]Numbers 4:71 Chronicles 9:322 Chronicles 2:4Matthew 12:4-5 9It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place; for it is to him a most holy part of the food offerings to the Lord—his portion forever.”[ † ]1 Samuel 21:6Matthew 12:4Mark 2:26Luke 6:4Exodus 29:33Leviticus 8:31
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 daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)[ † ]Exodus 22:28Job 1:5-11, 22Isaiah 8:21Exodus 18:22-26
12They placed him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them.[ † ]Numbers 15:34Numbers 27:5
13Then the Lord said to Moses, 14“Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone him.[ † ]Deuteronomy 13:9Deuteronomy 17:7
15And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin.[ † ]Leviticus 20:17Numbers 9:13 16Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord must surely be put to death; the whole assembly must surely stone him, whether he is a foreign resident or native; if he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.[ † ]Exodus 20:71 Kings 21:10-13Matthew 12:31Mark 3:28-29
17And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death.[ † ]Genesis 9:6Exodus 21:12Numbers 35:30-31Deuteronomy 19:11-12Deuteronomy 27:24 18Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life.[ † ]Leviticus 24:21 19If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:[ † ]Exodus 21:24 20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him.[ † ]Exodus 21:23Deuteronomy 19:21Matthew 5:38-39
21Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death. 22You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am the Lord your God.’”[ † ]Exodus 12:49Leviticus 19:33-37Numbers 9:14Numbers 15:15-16, 29
23Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
