Chapter 24 of Leviticus—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ And Jehovah proceeded to speak to Moses, saying:
  2. “Command the sons of Israel that they get for you pure, beaten olive oil for the luminary,1 to light up the lamp constantly.2
  3. Outside the curtain of the Testimony in the tent of meeting Aaron should set it in order from evening to morning before Jehovah constantly. It is a statute to time indefinite during YOUR generations.
  4. Upon the lampstand3 of pure gold[a] he should set the lamps4 in order before Jehovah constantly.5
  5. ¶ “And you must take fine flour and bake it up into twelve ring-shaped cakes. Two tenths of an eʹphah should go to each ring-shaped cake.
  6. And you must place them in two sets of layers, six to the layer set,6 upon the table of pure gold[b] before Jehovah.7
  7. And you must put pure frankincense upon each layer set, and it must serve as the bread for a remembrancer,8 an offering made by fire to Jehovah.
  8. On one sabbath day after another he should set it in order before Jehovah constantly.9 It is a covenant to time indefinite with the sons of Israel.
  9. And it must become Aaron’s and his sons’,10 and they must eat it in a holy place,11 because it is something most holy for him from Jehovah’s offerings made by fire, as a regulation to time indefinite.”
  10. ¶ Now a son of an Israelite woman, who, however, was the son of an Egyptian man,12 went out into the midst of the sons of Israel, and the son of the Israelitess and an Israelite man began to struggle13 with each other in the camp.
  11. And the son of the Israelite woman began to abuse the Name[c]14 and to call down evil upon it.15 So they brought him to Moses.16 Incidentally, his mother’s name was She·loʹmith, the daughter of Dibʹri of the tribe of Dan.
  12. Then they committed him into custody17 till there should be a distinct declaration to them according to the saying[d] of Jehovah.18
  13. ¶ And Jehovah proceeded to speak to Moses, saying:
  14. “Bring forth the one who called down evil to the outside of the camp;19 and all those who heard him must lay their hands20 upon his head, and the entire assembly must pelt him [with stones].21
  15. And you should speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘In case any man calls down evil upon his God, he must then answer for his sin.
  16. So the abuser of Jehovah’s name should be put to death without fail.22 The entire assembly should without fail pelt him with stones. The alien resident the same as the native should be put to death for his abusing the Name.[e]23
  17. ¶ “‘And in case a man strikes any soul of mankind fatally,[f] he should be put to death without fail.24
  18. And the fatal striker of the soul of a domestic animal should make compensation for it, soul for soul.25
  19. And in case a man should cause a defect in his associate, then just as he has done, so it should be done to him.26
  20. Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; the same sort of defect he may cause in the man, that is what should be caused in him.27
  21. And the fatal striker of a beast28 should make compensation29 for it, but the fatal striker of a man should be put to death.30
  22. ¶ “‘One judicial decision should hold good for YOU. The alien resident should prove to be the same as the native,31 because I am Jehovah YOUR God.’”32
  23. ¶ After that Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought forth the one who had called down evil to the outside of the camp, and they pelted him with stones.33 Thus the sons of Israel did just as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

FOOTNOTES

  1. ^ Lit., “the pure lampstand.”
  2. ^ Lit., “the pure table.”
  3. ^ “The Name.” Heb., hash·Shemʹ; that is, the name “Jehovah” as indicated by vss 15, 16. Post-Biblical use of this expression is found in the Mishnah, as in Yoma 3, 8; 4, 1, 2; 6, 2. It is believed that the expression “the Name” was substituted for “Jehovah” by the Sopherim to avoid what seemed to them to be flagrant blasphemy in saying, “began to abuse Jehovah.”
  4. ^ Lit., “mouth.”
  5. ^ “The Name,” Sam; M, “a name”; LXXVg, “the name of Jehovah.”
  6. ^ Or, “strikes any man fatally; kills any man.” Lat., per·cusʹse·rit et oc·ciʹde·rit hoʹmi·nem.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
