旧约 - 利未记(Leviticus)第24章

The LORD said to Moses,
"Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning continually.
Outside the curtain of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps before the LORD from evening till morning, continually. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.
The lamps on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD must be tended continually.
"Take fine flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf.
Set them in two rows, six in each row, on the table of pure gold before the LORD.
Along each row put some pure incense as a memorial portion to represent the bread and to be an offering made to the LORD by fire.
This bread is to be set out before the LORD regularly, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant.
It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place, because it is a most holy part of their regular share of the offerings made to the LORD by fire."
Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between him and an Israelite.
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse; so they brought him to Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.)
They put him in custody until the will of the LORD should be made clear to them.
Then the LORD said to Moses:
"Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him.
Say to the Israelites: 'If anyone curses his God, he will be held responsible;
anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him. Whether an alien or native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.
"'If anyone takes the life of a human being, he must be put to death.
Anyone who takes the life of someone's animal must make restitution--life for life.
If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him:
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has injured the other, so he is to be injured.
Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death.
You are to have the same law for the alien and the native-born. I am the LORD your God.'"
Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. The Israelites did as the LORD commanded Moses.
利未记第廿四章   第 24 章 

  利 24:13> 人若连神也不惧怕,这是最可怕的…… 

  24:13 以现代人的标准来看,对于亵渎圣名(就是咒诅神)者的刑罚,似乎是过于严厉了。不过这件事显明,神对于祂所期望的──我们与祂的关系,看得多么认真!我们常常以祂的名字起誓,或者行事为人如同没有神一般。当小心自己的言行,要敬畏神,凡事由祂作最后的决定。 

  利 24:17-22> 心中有冤屈……你会让神替你伸冤吗? 

  24:17-22 这是给审判官的法规,而不是赞同人亲身报复。实际上,它是说刑罚必须与罪行相符,不可超越限度。──《灵修版圣经注释》
