3 Mosebok 24
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Olja och bröd inför Herren
1-2 Herren sa till Mose: Säg till Israels folk att skaffa fram ren olivolja,
3-4 så att ljusstaken av rent guld, som står utanför förhänget och stänger vägen till det allra heligaste, alltid kan brinna. Varje morgon och kväll ska Aron fylla på ny olja och se till vekarna. På denna ljusstake ska en evig låga brinna inför Herren från generation till generation.
5-8 Varje sabbatsdag ska översteprästen lägga ut tolv brödkakor i två rader, sex i varje rad, på guldbordet som står inför Herren. Bröden ska vara bakade av fint mjöl, och man ska använda fyra liter mjöl till varje kaka. Utmed varje rad ska läggas ren rökelse. Detta ska vara ett eldsminnesoffer inför Herren, till påminnelse om hans eviga förbund med Israels folk.
9 Aron och hans söner ska äta upp bröden på en plats som är särskilt avsedd för detta ändamål. Bröden är eldsoffer till Herren, enligt en av Gud fastställd lag, och de är högheliga.
Straffet för hädelse mot Gud
10 En dag ute i lägret började en man, vars mor var israelit och vars far egyptier, att slåss med en av Israels män.
11 Under slagsmålet förbannade den egyptiske mannen Gud och fördes fram till Mose för att bli dömd. (Hans mor hette Selomit, dotter till Dibri av Dans stam.)
12 Han hölls i förvar till dess Herren visade vad man skulle göra med honom.
13-14 Herren sa till Mose: För ut honom utanför lägret och be alla som hörde honom förbanna mitt namn att lägga sina händer på hans huvud. Sedan ska folket stena honom till döds.
15-16 Säg till Israels folk att den som förbannar sin Gud måste sona detta med livet. Han måste dö. Hela församlingen ska stena honom. Denna lag gäller för både utlänningar och israeliter, när de har hädat Herrens namn. De måste dö.
17 Dessutom måste alla mördare avrättas.
18 Den som dödar ett djur som inte är hans eget måste ersätta det.
19 Ett straff ska alltid utmätas efter den skada som skett,
20 öga för öga och tand för tand. Så som någon behandlar en annan, ska han själv behandlas.
21 Jag säger det igen: den som dödar ett djur måste ersätta det, och den som dödar en människa måste dö.
22 Ni ska ha samma lag för utlänningar och infödda, för jag är Herren, er Gud.
23 De förde alltså ut mannen utanför lägret och stenade honom till döds, så som Herren hade befallt Mose.
Leviticus 24
New International Version
Olive Oil and Bread Set Before the Lord(A)
24 The 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. 3 Outside 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(B) for the generations to come. 4 The lamps on the pure gold lampstand(C) before the Lord must be tended continually.
5 “Take the finest flour and bake twelve loaves of bread,(D) using two-tenths of an ephah[a](E) for each loaf. 6 Arrange them in two stacks, six in each stack, on the table of pure gold(F) before the Lord. 7 By each stack put some pure incense(G) as a memorial[b] portion(H) to represent the bread and to be a food offering presented to the Lord. 8 This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly,(I) Sabbath after Sabbath,(J) on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant. 9 It belongs to Aaron and his sons,(K) who are to eat it in the sanctuary area,(L) because it is a most holy(M) part of their perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord.”
A Blasphemer Put to Death
10 Now 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. 11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name(N) with a curse;(O) so they brought him to Moses.(P) (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.)(Q) 12 They put him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them.(R)
13 Then 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.(S) 15 Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who curses their God(T) will be held responsible;(U) 16 anyone who blasphemes(V) the name of the Lord is to be put to death.(W) 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.(X) 18 Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution(Y)—life for life. 19 Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth.(Z) The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. 21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution,(AA) but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death.(AB) 22 You are to have the same law for the foreigner(AC) and the native-born.(AD) I am the Lord your God.’”
23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him.(AE) The Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses.

New American Standard Bible
The Lamp and the Bread of the Sanctuary
24 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you (A)clear oil from beaten olives for the [a]light, to make a lamp [b]burn continually. 3 Outside the veil of the testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the Lord continually; it shall be a permanent statute throughout your generations. 4 He shall keep the lamps in order on the (B)pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually.
5 “(C)Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve [c]cakes with it; [d]two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake. 6 And you shall set them in two rows, six to a row, on the (D)pure gold table before the Lord. 7 You shall put pure frankincense on each row so that it may be (E)a memorial portion for the bread, an offering by fire to the Lord. 8 (F)Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the Lord (G)continually; it is an everlasting covenant [e]for the sons of Israel. 9 And (H)it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the Lord’s offerings by fire, his portion forever.”
10 Now the son of an Israelite woman—his father was an Egyptian—went out among the sons of Israel; and the Israelite woman’s son and an Israelite man had a fight within the camp. 11 And the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the (I)Name and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.) 12 Then they put him in custody, waiting for Moses to give them a clear decision in accordance with (J)the command of the Lord.
13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 14 “Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and have all who heard him (K)lay their hands on his head; then (L)have all the congregation stone him. 15 You shall also speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘(M)If anyone curses his God, then he will bear the responsibility for his sin. 16 Moreover, the one who (N)blasphemes the name of the Lord must be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The stranger as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
An Eye for an Eye
17 ‘Now (O)if someone [f]takes any human life, he must be put to death. 18 But (P)the one who [g]takes the life of an animal shall make restitution, life for life. 19 If someone injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so shall it be done to him: 20 (Q)fracture for fracture, (R)eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has injured a person, so shall it be [h]inflicted on him. 21 So the one who [i]kills an animal shall make restitution, but (S)the one who [j]kills a person shall be put to death. 22 There shall be only (T)one [k]standard for you; it shall be for the stranger as well as the native, for I am the Lord your God.’” 23 Then Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought the one who had cursed outside the camp, and stoned him with stones. So the sons of Israel did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
