Leviticus 24

Leviticus 24

Leviticus 24:1 Yahveh spoke to Moses, and this is what he said,

Leviticus 24:2 “Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil from beaten olives for the lamp, so that a light may be kept burning continually.

Leviticus 24:3 Outside the veil of the reminder, in the conference tent, Aaron will arrange it from evening to morning to Yahveh’s face regularly. It will be a permanent prescription throughout your generations.

Leviticus 24:4 He will arrange the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold to Yahveh’s face continually.

Leviticus 24:5 “You will take fine flour and bake twelve loaves from it; two tenths of an ephah will be in each loaf.

Leviticus 24:6 And you will set them in two piles, six in a pile, on the table of pure gold to Yahveh’s face.

Leviticus 24:7 And you will put pure frankincense on each pile, that it may go with the bread as a reminiscence as a fire offering to Yahveh.

Leviticus 24:8 Every Sabbath day Aaron will arrange it to Yahveh’s face continually; it is from the people of Israel as a permanent covenant.

Leviticus 24:9 And it will be for Aaron and his sons, and they will eat it in a sacred place, since it is for him a most sacred portion out of Yahveh’s fire offerings, a permanent prescription.”

Leviticus 24:10 Now an Israelite woman’s son, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the people of Israel. And the Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought in the camp,

Leviticus 24:11 and the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the Name and cursed. Then they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

Leviticus 24:12 And they put him in custody, till the will of Yahveh should be clear to them.

Leviticus 24:13 Then Yahveh spoke to Moses, and this is what he said,

Leviticus 24:14 “Bring out of the camp the one who cursed and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head and let all the congregation stone him.

Leviticus 24:15 And speak to the people of Israel, and this is what you should say, whoever curses his God will be responsible for his mistake.

Leviticus 24:16 Whoever blasphemes the name of Yahveh will surely be put to death. All the congregation will stone him. The temporary resident as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, will be put to death.

Leviticus 24:17 “Whoever takes a human throat will surely be put to death.

Leviticus 24:18 Whoever takes an animal’s throat will make it good, throat for throat.

Leviticus 24:19 If anyone injures his associate, as he has done it will be done to him,

Leviticus 24:20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; whatever injury he has given a human will be given to him.

Leviticus 24:21 Whoever kills an animal will make it good, and whoever kills a human will be put to death.

Leviticus 24:22 You will have the same judgment for the temporary resident and for the native, because I am Yahveh your God.”

Leviticus 24:23 So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and they brought out of the camp the one who had cursed and stoned him with stones. And the people of Israel did as Yahveh commanded Moses.

Leviticus 24 quotes:

“The Continual Bread (Numbers 4:7; Il Chronicles 2:4 and Leviticus 24:8). — This Bread was to be before the Lord continually. Believers find in Christ the continual and daily Bread (Matthew 6:11).”

Conner, Kevin J. The Tabernacle of Moses. Bible Temple Pub., 1975. p. 36.

“The center lamp was referred to as the ner tamid or “eternal light,” because God commanded i in Leviticus 24:2 that it should be kept burning continually. This light — ~ was also called the shamash, or “servant” light, for it was used to rekindle the __ remaining six lights on the menorah whenever they were trimmed. Ancient ~ Hebrew rabbis have suggested that the shamash represents the Messiah.”

“In Leviticus 24, the Lord gave Moses instructions concerning three holy things: the holy oil for the lampstand (vv. 1-4), the holy bread for the table (vv. 5—9), and the holy name of the Lord, which all the people were to honor (vv. 10-23).”
