Leviticus 24:6-14 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

6. Arrange them in two rows, six to a row, on the pure gold table before the Lord.

7. Place pure frankincense near each row, so that it may serve as a memorial portion for the bread and a fire offering to the Lord.

8. The bread is to be set out before the Lord every Sabbath day as a perpetual covenant obligation on the part of the Israelites.

9. It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place, for it is the holiest portion for him from the fire offerings to the Lord; this is a permanent rule.”

10. Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father was among the Israelites. A fight broke out in the camp between the Israelite woman’s son and an Israelite man.

11. Her son cursed and blasphemed the Name, and they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, a daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan. )

12. They put him in custody until the Lord’s decision could be made clear to them.

13. Then the Lord spoke to Moses:

14. “Bring the one who has cursed to the outside of the camp and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole community stone him.
