Leviticus 24:1-11 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2. “Command the Israelites that they should bring pure olive oil from beaten olives for the light to present a lamp continually.

3. Aaron shall arrange for it outside the curtain of the testimony in the tent of assembly from evening until morning before Yahweh continually; it shall be a lasting statute throughout your generations.

4. On the pure golden lampstand he shall arrange for the lamps before Yahweh continually.

5. “And you shall take finely milled flour, and you shall bake with it twelve ring-shaped bread cakes: each one shall be two-tenths of an ephah.

6. And you shall place them in two rows, six to the row, on the pure gold table before Yahweh.

7. And you shall put pure frankincense on each row so that it shall be for the bread as a memorial offering, an offering made by fire for Yahweh.

8. On every Sabbath he shall arrange it in rows before Yahweh continually; they are from the Israelites as an everlasting covenant.

9. And it shall be for Aaron and for his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place, because it is a most holy thing for him from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire—a lasting rule.”

10. And an Israelite woman’s son, and he was an Egyptian man’s son, went out in the midst of the Israelites; and the Israelite woman’s son and an Israelite man fought in the camp.

11. Then the Israelite woman’s son blasphemed the name, and he cursed, so they brought him to Moses—and the name of his mother was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
