7. Beside each row put some pure incense that will be sent up by fire in place of the bread as an offering to me.

8. Aaron must lay fresh loaves on the table each Sabbath, and priests in all generations must continue this practice as part of Israel's agreement with me.

9. This bread will always belong to Aaron and his family; it is very holy because it was offered to me, and it must be eaten in a holy place.

12. who had him guarded while everyone waited for the Lord to tell them what to do.

13. Finally, the Lord said to Moses:

14. This man has cursed me! Take him outside the camp and make the witnesses lay their hands on his head. Then command the whole community of Israel to stone him to death.

17. Death is also the penalty for murder,

19. Personal injuries to others must be dealt with in keeping with the crime—

20. a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, or a tooth for a tooth.

21. It's possible to pay the owner for an animal that has been killed, but death is the penalty for murder.
