Leviticus 24:1-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2. Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may bring to you clear oil from the purest olives, in order to supply the lamps continuously

3. outside the veil of the testimony in the tabernacle of the covenant. And Aaron shall place these, from evening until morning, before the Lord, as a perpetual worship and ritual in your generations.

4. They shall be placed upon the most pure candlestick in the sight of the Lord always.

5. You shall also receive fine wheat flour, and you shall bake twelve loaves from it, each loaf of which shall have two-tenths.

6. And you shall arrange them, six on each side, upon the most pure table before the Lord.

7. And you shall place upon them the clearest frankincense, so that the bread may be a memorial of oblation for the Lord.

8. On each Sabbath, they shall be changed before the Lord, having been received from the sons of Israel as an everlasting covenant.

9. And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, so that they may eat these in the holy place; for it is the Holy of holies from the sacrifices of the Lord, as a perpetual right.

10. Then, behold, the son of an Israelite woman, whom she had born of an Egyptian man among the sons of Israel, going out, was quarreling in the camp with a man of Israel.

11. And when he had blasphemed the name, and had cursed it, he was led to Moses. (Now his mother was called Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri from the tribe of Dan.)
