(Exodus 27:20–21)
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually. 2Co 4:6Eph 5:8-14Exo 27:20-21Jhn 8:12Act 26:18Eph 1:17-18Php 2:15-161Sa 3:3-4

Punishment for Blasphemy
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. Exo 12:38Num 11:4 The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name with a curse. So they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.) Exo 20:7Exo 18:22Exo 18:26Exo 3:15Isa 8:21Job 2:5Lev 24:15-16Mat 26:65
They placed him in custody until the will of the LORD should be made clear to them. Exo 18:15-16Num 15:34Num 27:5Num 36:5-6Exo 18:23
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Take the blasphemer 3outside the camp, and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone him. Deu 17:7Deu 21:21Lev 20:27Jhn 10:31-33Lev 20:2Act 7:58-59Deu 13:9-10Deu 22:21
And you are to tell the Israelites, ‘If anyone curses his God, he shall bear the consequences of his sin. Exo 22:28Lev 5:1Num 9:13Lev 20:16-17 Whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD must surely be put to death; the whole assembly must surely stone him, whether he is a foreign resident or native; if he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.

An Eye for an Eye
(Matthew 5:38–48)
And if a man takes the life of anyone else, he must surely be put to death. Deu 19:11-12Gen 9:5-6Deu 27:24Exo 21:12-14Num 35:30-31 Whoever kills an animal must make restitution—life for life. Lev 24:21Exo 21:34-36 If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him: Deu 19:21Mat 5:38Mat 7:2 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. 4 Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him. Deu 19:21Mat 5:38Exo 21:23-25
Whoever kills an animal must make restitution, but whoever kills a man must be put to death. Lev 24:17-18Exo 21:33 You are to have the same standard of law for the foreign resident and the native; for I am the LORD your God.’” Exo 12:49Num 15:15-16Num 9:14Lev 19:34Num 15:29Lev 17:10
Then Moses spoke to the Israelites, and they took the blasphemer outside the camp and stoned him. So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses. Heb 10:28-29Heb 2:2-3Lev 24:14-16Num 15:35-36
