8 aEvery Sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.
9 And ait shall be for Aaron and his sons, band they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him from the offerings of the Lord made by fire, by a perpetual statute.”
The Penalty for Blasphemy
10 Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and this Israelite woman’s son and a man of Israel fought each other in the camp.
11 And the Israelite woman’s son ablasphemed the name of the Lord and bcursed; and so they cbrought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)
12 Then they aput him in custody, bthat the mind of the Lord might be shown to them.
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
14 “Take outside the camp him who has cursed; then let all who heard him alay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
