24  I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

Whakahaua nga tama a Iharaira kia kawea e ratou ki a koe, he hinu oriwa, hei te mea parakore, hei te mea tuki, mo te whakamarama, kia ka tonu ai nga rama.

Me whakapai tonu tena e Arona ki waho o te arai o te whakaaturanga, i roto i te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i te ahiahi a tae noa ki te ata: he tikanga pumau, ma o koutou whakatupuranga.

Me whakapai tonu e ia nga rama i runga i te turanga parakore o nga rama ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

Me tiki ano e koe he paraoa pai, ka tunu ai kia tekau ma rua nga keke: kia rua nga whakatekau o te epa ki te keke kotahi.

Ka whakatakoto ai e koe, kia rua nga rarangi, kia ono ki te rarangi kotahi, ki runga ki te tepu parakore i te aroaro o Ihowa.

Me maka ano hoki e koe he parakihe parakore ki runga i tetahi rarangi, i tetahi rarangi, kia ai taua mea i runga i te taro hei whakamahara, hei whakahere ahi ki a Ihowa.

Me whakararangi tonu e ia, i tenei hapati, i tenei hapati, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, he mea mo nga tama a Iharaira; hei kawenata pumau.

A ma Arona ratou ko ana tama tena; me kai e ratou ki te wahi tapu; he tino tapu hoki tena mana i roto i nga whakahere ahi a Ihowa; hei tikanga pumau.

10 A i haere atu i roto i nga tama a Iharaira tetahi tama a tetahi wahine o Iharaira, ko tona papa no Ihipa: na ka whawhai tenei tama a te wahine o Iharaira ki tetahi tangata o Iharaira i roto i te puni;

11 Na ka kohukohu te tama a te wahine o Iharaira i te ingoa o Ihowa, ka kanga hoki: a kawea ana ia e ratou ki a Mohi. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Heromiti, he tamahine na Tipiri, no te iwi o Rana.

12 Na ka hoatu ia e ratou kia tiakina, ma te kupu hoki a Ihowa te tikanga ki a ratou.

13 Na ka korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, ka mea,

14 Kawea te tangata i kanga ra ki waho o te puni; a, ko nga tangata katoa i rongo i a ia, me popoki o ratou ringa ki tona matenga, ka aki ai te whakaminenga katoa i a ia ki te kohatu.

15 Me korero ano e koe ki nga tama a Iharaira, me ki atu, Ki te kanga tetahi tangata i tona Atua, ka waha e ia tona hara.

16 A, ko te tangata e kohukohu i te ingoa o Ihowa, me tino whakamate ia; me tino aki ia e te whakaminenga ki te kohatu: ko te manene raua tahi ko te tangata whenua ka whakamatea, ina kohukohua e ia te ingoa o Ihowa.

17 Ki te whakamate hoki tetahi i tetahi tangata me tino whakamate ano ia;

18 Ki te whakamate hoki tetahi i te kararehe, me utu e ia; he kararehe mo te kararehe.

19 Ki te mate hoki i te tangata tetahi wahi o tona hoa; me mea ki a ia tana i mea ai:

20 He whati mo te whati, he kanohi mo te kanohi, he niho mo te niho: ko te mate i meatia e ia ki te tangata, me mea ano ki a ia.

21 Ki te whakamate hoki tetahi i te kararehe, me utu e ia: ki te whakamate hoki tetahi i te tangata, me whakamate ano ia.

22 Kia kotahi ano ta koutou whakawa mo te manene, mo te tangata whenua: ko Ihowa hoki ahau, ko to koutou Atua.

23 Na ka korero a Mohi ki nga tama a Iharaira, a kawea ana e ratou ki waho o te puni te tangata nana te kanga, a akina ana hoki ki te kamaka. A meatia ana e nga tama a Iharaira ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

Olive Oil and Bread Set Before the Lord(A)

24 The Lord said to Moses, “Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning continually. Outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps before the Lord from evening till morning, continually. This is to be a lasting ordinance(B) for the generations to come. The lamps on the pure gold lampstand(C) before the Lord must be tended continually.

“Take the finest flour and bake twelve loaves of bread,(D) using two-tenths of an ephah[a](E) for each loaf. Arrange them in two stacks, six in each stack, on the table of pure gold(F) before the Lord. By each stack put some pure incense(G) as a memorial[b] portion(H) to represent the bread and to be a food offering presented to the Lord. This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly,(I) Sabbath after Sabbath,(J) on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant. It belongs to Aaron and his sons,(K) who are to eat it in the sanctuary area,(L) because it is a most holy(M) part of their perpetual share of the food offerings presented to the Lord.”

A Blasphemer Put to Death

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 blasphemed the Name(N) with a curse;(O) so they brought him to Moses.(P) (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.)(Q) 12 They put him in custody until the will of the Lord should be made clear to them.(R)

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.(S) 15 Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who curses their God(T) will be held responsible;(U) 16 anyone who blasphemes(V) the name of the Lord is to be put to death.(W) The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death.

17 “‘Anyone who takes the life of a human being is to be put to death.(X) 18 Anyone who takes the life of someone’s animal must make restitution(Y)—life for life. 19 Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: 20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth.(Z) The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. 21 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution,(AA) but whoever kills a human being is to be put to death.(AB) 22 You are to have the same law for the foreigner(AC) and the native-born.(AD) I am the Lord your God.’”

23 Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him.(AE) The Israelites did as the Lord commanded Moses.
