The Lamp and the Bread of the Sanctuary 1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you clear oil from beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually. 3Outside the veil of testimony in the tent of meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations. 4He shall keep the lamps in order on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD continually. 5Then you shall take fine flour and bake twelve cakes with it; two-tenths of an ephah shall be in each cake. 6You shall set them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD. 7You shall put pure frankincense on each row that it may be a memorial portion for the bread, even an offering by fire to the LORD. 8Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually; it is an everlasting covenant for the sons of Israel. 9It 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 LORDS offerings by fire, his portion forever. 10Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel; and the Israelite womans son and a man of Israel struggled with each other in the camp. 11The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mothers name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.) 12They put him in custody so that the command of the LORD might be made clear to them. 13Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 14Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then let all the congregation stone him. 15You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, If anyone curses his God, then he will bear his sin. 16Moreover, the one who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The alien as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death.
