1
And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Jehovah who halloweth you,
2
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah.
3
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
4
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.
5
Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work: it is a sabbath unto Jehovah in all your dwellings.
6
These are the set feasts of Jehovah, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season.
7
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is Jehovah’s passover.
8
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto Jehovah: seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread.
9
In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work.
10
But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah seven days: in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.
11
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
12
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest unto the priest:
13
and he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
14
And in the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he-lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah.
15
And the meal-offering thereof shall be two tenth parts
16
of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah for a sweet savor; and the drink-offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
17
And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the oblation of your God: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
18
And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave-offering; seven sabbaths shall there be complete:
19
even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meal-offering unto Jehovah.
20
Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave-loaves of two tenth parts
21
of an ephah: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baken with leaven, for first-fruits unto Jehovah.
22
And ye shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be a burnt-offering unto Jehovah, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
23
And ye shall offer one he-goat for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace-offerings.

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2
Command the children of Israel that they bring unto thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to light the lamp continually.

And thou shalt take fine wheaten flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof; each cake shall be of two tenths.
6
And thou shalt set them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before Jehovah.

8
Every sabbath day he shall arrange it before Jehovah continually, on the part of the children of Israel: [it is] an everlasting covenant.

10
And the son of an Israelitish woman — but withal the son of an Egyptian, — went out among the children of Israel; and this son of the Israelitess and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
11
and the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. And his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12
And they confined him, that they might decide at the mouth of Jehovah.
13
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
14
Lead the reviler outside the camp; and all that heard [him] shall lay their hands upon his head, and the whole assembly shall stone him.
15
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Every one when he revileth hisGod shall bear his sin.
16
And he that blasphemeth the name of Jehovah shall certainly be put to death; all the assembly shall certainly stone him; as well the stranger as he that is home-born, when he blasphemeth the Name, shall be put to death.
17
And if any one smiteth any man mortally, he shall certainly be put to death.
18
And he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good, life for life.
19
And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour, as he hath done, so shall it be done to 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.
21
He that smiteth a beast [mortally] shall make it good; and he that smiteth a man [mortally] shall be put to death.
22
Ye shall have one law: as the stranger, so the home-born; for I am Jehovah yourGod.
23
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they led the reviler outside the camp and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

Charge the children of Israel, and let them take for thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to burn a lamp continually,

And they put him in ward, to judge him by the command of the Lord.
13
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
14
Bring forth him that cursed outside the camp, and all who heard shall lay their hands upon his head, and all the congregation shall stone him.
15
And speak to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whosoever shall curse God shall bear his sin.
16
And he that names the name of the Lord, let him die the death: let all the congregation of Israel stone him with stones; whether he be a stranger or a native, let him die for naming the name of the Lord.
17
And whosoever shall smite a man and he die, let him die the death.
18
And whosoever shall smite a beast, and it shall die, let him render life for life.
19
And whosoever shall inflict a blemish on his neighbour, as he has done to him, so shall it be done to himself in return;

21
Whosoever shall smite a man, and he shall die, let him die the death.
22
There shall be one judgment for the stranger and the native, for I [am] the Lord your God.

Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2
Præcipe filiis Israel, ut afferant tibi oleum de olivis purissimum, ac lucidum, ad concinnandas lucernas iugiter,
3
extra velum testimonii in tabernaculo fœderis. Ponetque eas Aaron a vespere usque ad mane coram Domino, cultu rituque perpetuo in generationibus vestris.
4
Super candelabrum mundissimum ponentur semper in conspectu Domini.
5
Accipies quoque similam, et coques ex ea duodecim panes, qui singuli habebunt duas decimas:
6
quorum senos altrinsecus super mensam purissimam coram Domino statues:
7
et pones super eos thus lucidissimum, ut sit panis in monimentum oblationis Domini.
8
Per singula sabbata mutabuntur coram Domino suscepti a filiis Israel fœdere sempiterno:
9
eruntque Aaron et filiorum eius, ut comedant eos in loco sancto: quia Sanctum sanctorum est de sacrificiis Domini iure perpetuo.
10
Ecce autem egressus filius mulieris Israelitidis, quem pepererat de viro Ægyptio inter filios Israel, iurgatus est in castris cum viro Israelita.
11
Cumque blasphemasset nomen, et maledixisset ei, adductus est ad Moysen. (Vocabatur autem mater eius Salumith, filia Dabri de tribu Dan.)
12
Miseruntque eum in carcerem, donec nossent quid iuberet Dominus.
13
Qui locutus est ad Moysen,
14
dicens: Educ blasphemum extra castra, et ponant omnes qui audierunt, manus suas super caput eius, et lapidet eum populus universus.
15
Et ad filios Israel loqueris: Homo, qui maledixerit Deo suo, portabit peccatum suum:
16
et qui blasphemaverit nomen Domini, morte moriatur: lapidibus opprimet eum omnis multitudo, sive ille civis, sive peregrinus fuerit. Qui blasphemaverit nomen Domini, morte moriatur.
17
Qui percusserit, et occiderit hominem, morte moriatur.
18
Qui percusserit animal, reddet vicarium, id est animam pro anima.
19
Qui irrogaverit maculam cuilibet civium suorum: sicut fecit, sic fiet ei:
20
fracturam pro fractura, oculum pro oculo, dentem pro dente restituet. qualem inflixerit maculam, talem sustinere cogetur.
21
Qui percusserit iumentum, reddet aliud. Qui percusserit hominem, punietur.
22
Æquum iudicium sit inter vos, sive peregrinus, sive civis peccaverit: quia ego sum Dominus Deus vester.
23
Locutusque est Moyses ad filios Israel: et eduxerunt eum, qui blasphemaverat, extra castra, ac lapidibus oppresserunt. Feceruntque filii Israel sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2
“Command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
3
Outside of the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD continually. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
4
He shall keep in order the lamps on the pure gold lamp stand before the LORD continually.
5
“You shall take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes of it: two tenths of an ephah shall be in one cake.
6
You shall set them in two rows, six on a row, on the pure gold table before the LORD.
7
You shall put pure frankincense on each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire to the LORD.
8
Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually. It is an everlasting covenant on the behalf of the children of Israel.
9
It shall be for Aaron and his sons. They shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.”
10
The son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and the son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
11
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name, and cursed; and they brought him to Moses. His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
12
They put him in custody until the LORD’s will should be declared to them.
13
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
14
“Bring him who cursed out of the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15
You shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.
16
He who blasphemes the LORD’s name, he shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him. The foreigner as well as the native-born shall be put to death when he blasphemes the Name.
17
“‘He who strikes any man mortally shall surely be put to death.
18
He who strikes an animal mortally shall make it good, life for life.
19
If anyone injures his neighbor, it shall be done to him as he has done:
20
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. It shall be done to him as he has injured someone.
21
He who kills an animal shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.
22
You shall have one kind of law for the foreigner as well as the native-born; for I am the LORD your God.’”
23
Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought him who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2
`Command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure olive oil, beaten, for the lamp, to cause a light to go up continually;
3
at the outside of the vail of the testimony in the tent of meeting doth Aaron arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah continually--a statute age-during to your generations;
4
by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before Jehovah continually.
5
`And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake,
6
and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the pure table before Jehovah,
7
and thou hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to Jehovah.
8
`On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah continually, from the sons of Israel--a covenant age-during;
9
and it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it <FI>is<Fi> most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah--a statute age-during.'
10
And a son of an Israelitish woman goeth out (and he <FI>is<Fi> son of an Egyptian man), in the midst of the sons of Israel, and strive in the camp do the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel,
11
and the son of the Israelitish woman execrateth the Name, and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his mother's name <FI>is<Fi> Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan;
12
and he causeth him to rest in charge--to explain to them by the mouth of Jehovah.
13
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
14
`Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all the company have stoned him.
15
`And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When any man revileth his God--then he hath borne his sin;
16
and he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.
17
`And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly put to death.
18
`And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body.

21
`And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who smiteth <FI>the life of<Fi> man is put to death;
22
one judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for I <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah your God.'
23
And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and they bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp, and stone him with stones; and the sons of Israel have done as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Explanations by Age Level
Explain Like I'm 5
A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.
Explain Like I'm 15
Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
