Care of the Tabernacle Lamps(A)

24 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: (B)“Command the children of Israel that they bring to you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to make the lamps burn continually. Outside the veil of the Testimony, in the tabernacle of meeting, Aaron shall be in charge of it from evening until morning before the Lord continually; it shall be a statute forever in your generations. He shall [a]be in charge of the lamps on (C)the pure gold lampstand before the Lord continually.

The Bread of the Tabernacle

“And you shall take fine flour and bake twelve (D)cakes with it. Two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake. You shall set them in two rows, six in a row, (E)on the pure gold table before the Lord. And you shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be on the bread for a (F)memorial, an offering made by fire to the Lord. (G)Every Sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. And (H)it shall be for Aaron and his sons, (I)and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the offerings of the Lord made by fire, by a perpetual statute.”

The Penalty for Blasphemy

10 Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and this Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought each other in the camp. 11 And the Israelite woman’s son (J)blasphemed the name of the Lord and (K)cursed; and so they (L)brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.) 12 Then they (M)put him [b]in custody, (N)that [c]the mind of the Lord might be shown to them.

13 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 14 “Take outside the camp him who has cursed; then let all who heard him (O)lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

15 “Then you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Whoever curses his God (P)shall [d]bear his sin. 16 And whoever (Q)blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him, the stranger as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall be put to death.

17 (R)‘Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death. 18 (S)Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, animal for animal.

19 ‘If a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as (T)he has done, so shall it be done to him— 20 fracture for (U)fracture, (V)eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it be done to him. 21 And whoever kills an animal shall restore it; but whoever kills a man shall be put to death. 22 You shall have (W)the[e] same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the Lord your God.’ ”

23 Then Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they took outside the camp him who had cursed, and stoned him with stones. So the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.

Ang mga Ilaw at mga Tinapay sa Loob ng Toldang Tipanan(A)

24 1-4 Sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises na iutos ito sa mga Israelita:

Magdala kayo ng purong langis mula sa pinigang olibo para sa ilaw na nasa labas ng kwarto kung saan nakalagay ang Kahon ng Kasunduan doon sa Toldang Tipanan, para patuloy itong magningas sa presensya ng Panginoon. Sisindihan ito ni Aaron tuwing takip-silim at patuloy na pagniningasin hanggang sa umaga. Dapat tiyakin na laging nagniningas ang mga ilaw sa patungang ginto nito. Dapat ninyong sundin ang tuntuning ito, kayo at ng susunod pang mga henerasyon.

Ang mga Tinapay na Inihahandog sa Presensya ng Dios

Magluto kayo ng 12 pirasong tinapay, na ang bawat isa ay gawa sa apat na kilo ng magandang klaseng harina. Pagkatapos, ilagay ninyo ito sa mesang ginto sa presensya ng Panginoon. Ihanay ninyo ito ng dalawang hanay, tig-anim ang bawat hanay. Lagyan ninyo ng purong insenso ang gilid[a] ng bawat hanay. Ang insenso ang siyang magsisilbing handog para alalahanin ang Panginoon. Susunugin ito bilang handog sa pamamagitan ng apoy sa halip na ang tinapay. Dapat laging maglagay ng tinapay sa presensya ng Panginoon tuwing Araw ng Pamamahinga. Itoʼy tungkulin ninyong mga Israelita magpakailanman. Ang mga tinapay na itoʼy para kay Aaron at sa kanyang angkan. Kakainin nila ito sa banal na lugar doon sa Tolda, dahil ito ang pinakabanal na bahagi ng mga handog sa pamamagitan ng apoy para sa Panginoon, at itoʼy para sa kanila magpakailanman.

Ang Parusa sa Panlalait sa Dios at Pamiminsala sa Kapwa

10-11 May isang tao noon na ang ama ay isang Egipcio at ang ina ay Israelita. (Ang pangalan ng ina niya ay si Shelomit na anak ni Dibri na mula sa lahi ni Dan). Siyaʼy nakipag-away sa isang Israelita roon sa kampo, at nilapastangan niya ang pangalan ng Panginoon. Kaya dinala nila siya kay Moises, 12 at ikinulong nila siya hanggang sa malaman nila kung ano ang kalooban ng Panginoon na gawin sa kanya.

13 Ngayon, sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, 14 “Dalhin ninyo sa labas ng kampo ang taong iyon na lumapastangan sa akin. At ang lahat ng nakarinig ng kanyang paglapastangan ay magpatong ng kanilang mga kamay sa ulo niya bilang patunay na siyaʼy dapat managot, at pagkatapos, babatuhin siya ng buong mamamayan. 15-16 At sabihin mo sa mga Israelita na ang sinumang katutubong Israelita o dayuhang naninirahang kasama nila na lalapastangan sa aking pangalan ay mananagot. At dapat siyang batuhin ng lahat hanggang sa mamatay siya.

17 “Ang sinumang pumatay ng tao ay dapat ding patayin. 18 At ang taong pumatay sa hayop ng kanyang kapwa ay dapat palitan ito. Buhay na hayop ang ipapalit niya sa pinatay na hayop. 19-20 Kapag sinaktan ng sinuman ang kanyang kapwa, kailangang saktan din siya katulad ng ginawa niya. Kung binali niya ang buto ng iba, babaliin din ang buto niya, kung dinukot niya ang mata ng iba, dudukutin din ang mata niya, at kung binungi niya ang ngipin ng iba, bubungiin din ang ngipin niya. 21 Ang sinumang makapatay ng hayop ng iba ay dapat niya itong palitan, ngunit ang makapatay ng tao ay dapat ding patayin. 22 Ang mga utos na itoʼy para sa inyong lahat, katutubong Israelita man o dayuhan. Ako ang Panginoon na inyong Dios.”

23 Pagkatapos itong sabihin ni Moises sa mga Israelita, dinala nila ang taong iyon na lumapastangan sa Dios doon sa labas ng kampo at binato ayon sa iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

24 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

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

Without 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.

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

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

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

And 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.

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

And 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.

10 And 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;

11 And 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:)

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

13 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

14 Bring 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.

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

16 And 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.

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

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

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

20 Breach 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.

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

22 Ye 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.

23 And 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.
