Leviticus 利未记24
英语课
24The 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 of the Testimony 1 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 2 ordinance 3 for the generations to come.
4The lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord must be tended continually.
5"Take fine flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf.
6Set them in two rows, six in each row, on the table of pure gold before the Lord .
7Along each row put some pure incense 4 as a memorial portion to represent the bread and to be an offering made to the Lord by fire.
8This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant 5.
9It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place, because it is a most holy part of their regular share of the offerings made to the Lord by fire." A Blasphemer Stoned
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 6 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: 'If anyone curses his God, he will be held responsible;
16anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him. Whether an alien or native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.
17" 'If anyone takes the life of a human being, he must be put to death.
18Anyone who takes the life of someone's animal must make restitution 7-life for life.
19If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:
20fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has injured the other, so he is to be injured.
21Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.
22You are to have the same law for the alien and the native-born. I am the Lord your God.' "
23Then Moses spoke 8 to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses.
