Leviticus 24:6-16 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

6. Arrange them in two piles, six in each pile, on the table of pure gold before the Lord.

7. By each pile put some pure incense as a memorial portion 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, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant.

9. It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in the sanctuary area, because it is a most holy part of their perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord.’

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 used the Name blasphemously with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.)

12. They put him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them.

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.

15. Say to the Israelites: “Anyone who curses their God will be held responsible;

16. anyone who uses the name of the Lord blasphemously is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they use the Name blasphemously they are to be put to death.
