KJB-1611 1 The oyle for the lampes. 5 The Shewbread. 10 Shelomiths sonne blasphemeth. 13 The Law of Blasphemie. 17 Of Murther. 18 Of Damage. 23 The blasphemer is stoned.
(1 The oil for the lamps. 5 The Shewbread. 10 Shelomiths son blasphemeth. 13 The Law of Blasphemie. 17 Of Murther. 18 Of Damage. 23 The blasphemer is stoned.)
This chapter has two main sections: 1) Instructions about the lampstand and bread (24:1-9) 2) A case of blasphemy and its punishment (24:10-23) - General instructions about blasphemy (24:15-16) - Laws about personal injury (24:17-22) - The punishment carried out (24:23)
The chapter uses respectful ways to refer to God:- “The Name” means “Yahweh”- Consider how your language shows respect when referring to God- Be consistent in how you translate these terms
Many instructions use passive form. Your language might need to say who does the action:- “Work shall be done” → “you must do the work”- “He shall be put to death” → “you must put him to death”- “It shall be presented” → “the priest must present it”
The chapter uses general terms that include everyone:- “A man” often means “any person”- “The one who” includes both men and women- “Fellow citizen” means “fellow Israelite”
Several phrases appear multiple times:- “Before Yahweh” means “in Yahweh’s presence”- “Permanent law” means “rule that continues forever”- “Most holy” emphasizes extreme holiness- Use consistent translations for these phrases
The chapter gives rules about sacred items:- The bread represented God’s presence- The lampstand needed to burn continuously- Only priests could eat the holy bread- These items required special care and respect
The chapter records the first case of blasphemy:- Speaking disrespectfully about God was serious- The punishment was death by stoning- The whole community participated- This case set the standard for future situations
Several actions had special meaning:- Witnesses placed hands on guilty person’s head- Community participated in punishment- Regular bread arrangement showed God’s presence- Consider explaining these meanings in footnotes(See: blasphemy, holy, and curse)
