1And the Lord said to Moses,

1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,

2Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.

2Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee the finest and clearest oil of olives, to furnish the lamps continually,

3Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations.

3Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the Lord continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.

3Without the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall set them from evening until morning before the Lord, by a perpetual service and rite in your generations.

4Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.

4He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the Lord continually.

4They shall be set upon the most pure candlestick before the Lord continually.

5And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.

5And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.

5Thou shalt take also fine flour, and shalt bake twelve loaves thereof, two tenths shall be in every loaf.

6And put them in two lines, six in a line, on the holy table before the Lord.

6And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the Lord.

6And thou shalt set them six and six, one against another, upon the most clean table before the Lord.

7And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

7And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

7And thou shalt put upon them the clearest frankincense, that the bread may be for a memorial of the oblation of the Lord.

8Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever.

8Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.

8Every sabbath they shall be changed before the Lord: being received of the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.

9And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.

9And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetual statute.

9And they shall be Aaron's and his sons', that they may eat them in the holy place: because it is most holy of the sacrifices of the Lord by a perpetual right.

10And a son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel and had a fight with a man of Israel by the tents;

10And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;

10And behold there went out the son of a woman of Israel, whom she had of an Egyptian, among the children of Israel: and fell at words in the camp with a man of Israel.

11And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

11And the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)

11And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was brought to Moses. (Now his mother was called Salumith, the daughter of Dabri, of the tribe of Dan.)

12And they kept him shut up, till a decision might be given by the mouth of the Lord.

12And they put him in ward, that the mind of the Lord might be shewed them.

12And they put him into prison, till they might know what the Lord would command.

13And the Lord said to Moses,

13And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

13And the Lord spoke to Moses,

14Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people.

14Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

14Saying: Bring forth the blasphemer without the camp: and let them that heard him, put their hands upon his head: and let all the people stone him.

15And say to the children of Israel, As for any man cursing God, his sin will be on his head.

15And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

15And thou shalt speak to the children of Israel: The man that curseth his God, shall bear his sin:

16And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death.

16And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.

16And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die. All the multitude shall stone him, whether he be a native or a stranger. He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die.

17And anyone who takes another's life is certainly to be put to death.

17And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.

17He that striketh and killeth a man: dying let him die.

18And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.

18And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.

18He that killeth a beast, shall make it good that is to say, shall give beast for beast.

19And if a man does damage to his neighbour, as he has done, so let it be done to him;

19And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;

19He that giveth a blemish to any of his neighbours: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:

20Wound for wound, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever damage he has done, so let it be done to him.

20Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.

20Breach for breach, eye for ere, tooth for tooth, shall he restore. What blemish he gave, the like shall he be compelled to suffer.

21He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.

21And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

21He that striketh a beast, shall render another. He that striketh a man shall be punished.

22You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God.

22Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the Lord your God.

22Let there be equal judgment among you, whether he be a stranger, or a native that offends: because I am the Lord your God.

23And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, and they took the man who had been cursing outside the tent-circle and had him stoned. The children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

23And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.

23And Moses spoke to the children of Israel. And they brought forth him that had blasphemed, without the camp: and they stoned him. And the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
