Leviticus 24 - Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012(CEVUK)

Caring for the lamps(Exodus 27.20,21)

1The LORD told Moses

2to say to the community of Israel:

You must supply the purest olive oil for the lamps in the sacred tent, so they will keep burning.

3-4Aaron will set up the gold lampstand in the holy place of the sacred tent. Then he will light the seven lamps that must be kept burning there in my presence, every night from now on. This law will never change.

The sacred breadThe LORD

said:

5Use your finest flour to bake twelve loaves of bread about two kilogrammes each,Punishment for cursing the LORD

10-11Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri from the tribe of Dan, had married an Egyptian, and they had a son. One day their son got into a fight with an Israelite man in camp and cursed the name of the LORD. So the young man was dragged off to Moses,

12who had him guarded while everyone waited for the LORD to tell them what to do.

13Finally, the LORD said to Moses:

14This man has cursed me! Take him outside the camp and make the witnesses lay their hands on his head. Then command the whole community of Israel to stone him to death.

15-16And warn the others that everyone else who curses me will die in the same way, whether they are Israelites by birth or foreigners living among you.

17Death is also the penalty for murder,

23When Moses finished speaking, the people did what the LORD had told Moses, and they stoned to death the man who had cursed the LORD.
