9 (H)It 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 Lord’s offerings by fire, his portion forever.”

Punishment For Blasphemy

10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp:

10 Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel; and the Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel struggled with each other in the camp.

10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;

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

10 Now a son of an Israeli woman and an Egyptian man went out among the Israelis. The Israeli woman's son got into a fight with an Israeli man in the camp.

11 and the son of the Israelitish woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him unto Moses. And his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

11 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the (I)Name and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)

An Example Of Just And Fair Punishment

12 They put him in (d)custody (e)so that (J)the command of the Lord might be made clear to them.

12 And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.

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

12 They placed him in custody until a decision would be made to them according to the word of the LORD.

13 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses:

13 Then the LORD spoke to Moses,

14 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

14 “Bring the one who has cursed outside the camp, and let all who heard him (K)lay their hands on his head; then (L)let all the congregation stone him.

14 Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

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.(O)

14 "Take the one who cursed outside the camp. Everyone who heard him is to lay their hands on his head. Then the entire congregation is to stone him to death.

15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

15 You shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘(M)If anyone curses his God, then he will bear his sin.

15 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.

15 And tell the Israelites: If anyone curses his God, he will bear the consequences of his sin.

15 Moreover, tell the Israelis that anyone who curses his God will bear the consequences of his own sin,

16 And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the sojourner, as the home-born, when he blasphemeth the name of Jehovah , shall be put to death.

16 Moreover, the one who (N)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.

16 And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death.

16 Whoever blasphemes the name of Yahweh is to be put to death;(P) the whole community must stone him. If he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death, whether the foreign resident or the native.

16 because the one who blasphemes the name of the LORD is certainly to be put to death. The entire congregation is to stone him to death. As it is for the resident alien, so it is to be with the native born: when he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death.

An Eye For An Eye

17 And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death.

17 (O)If a man (f)takes the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death.

17 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.

17 “If a man kills anyone, he must be put to death.(Q)

17 "If a man beats a human being to death, he is certainly to be executed,

18 And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.

18 (P)The one who (g)takes the life of an animal shall make it good, life for life.

18 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.

18 Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution for it, life for life.

18 but whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it life for life.

19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbor; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him:

19 If a man (h)injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so it shall be done to him:

19 And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;

19 If any man inflicts a permanent injury on his neighbor, whatever he has done is to be done to him:

19 If a man disfigures his fellow, whatever he did is to be done to him also.

20 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto him.

20 (Q)fracture for fracture, (R)eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has (i)injured a man, so it shall be (j)inflicted on him.

20 Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.

20 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Whatever injury he inflicted on the person, the same is to be inflicted on him.(R)

20 Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth just as he had caused a disfigurement against another man, so it is to be done against him.

21 And he that killeth a beast shall make it good: and he that killeth a man shall be put to death.

21 Thus the one who (k)kills an animal shall make it good, but (S)the one who (l)kills a man shall be put to death.

21 And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

21 Whoever kills an animal is to make restitution for it, but whoever kills a person is to be put to death.(S)

21 Whoever beats an animal to death is to replace it, but whoever beats a human being to death is to be put to death.

22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Jehovah your God.

22 There shall be (T)one (m)standard for you; it shall be for the stranger as well as the native, for I am the Lord your God.’”

22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.

22 You are to have the same law for the foreign resident and the native, because I am Yahweh your God.”

22 You are to have for yourselves consistent procedures in deciding a case. As it is for the resident alien, so it is for the native born. I am the LORD your God."

23 And Moses spake to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah commanded Moses.

23 Then Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought the one who had cursed outside the camp and stoned him with stones. Thus the sons of Israel did, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

23 And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.

23 After Moses spoke to the Israelites, they brought the one who had cursed to the outside of the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the Lord had commanded Moses.

23 So Moses spoke to the Israelis and they brought the one who cursed outside the camp and stoned him to death with boulders. The Israelis did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
