The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:10-23

The law of death. Blasphemy, murder, willful injury, whether by Israelite or stranger, judged and punished on the principle of compensation without mercy (cf. Isaiah 12:1-6 ; Romans 11:1-36 ). I. Here is the evil of a fallen nature and an apostate people set forth (see Romans 1:1-32 , Romans 2:1-29 ). "All have sinned." Israel itself is defiled. II. The contrast suggested between the law of death and the law of life (cf. Sermon on the Mount and Romans 7:1-25 , Romans... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:15-16

In accordance with the judicial decision on the man is framed the general law against blasphemy and its penalty. It runs as follows: Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him. It has been questioned whether two offenses or one are here contemplated, whether cursing his God is one offense, bearing his sin being its punishment, and blaspheming the Name of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:17

In close connection with the command to slay the blasphemer is repeated the prohibition of murder, and the injunction that the murderer shall surely be put to death. Thus a distinction is sharply drawn between the judicial sentence carried out by the congregation, and the unsanctioned smiting the life of a man by another , and a warning is given against any man fanatically taking the law into his own hands, even in the case of a blasphemer. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:17-22

Public justice secured by the law of retaliation. cf. Matthew 5:38-48 ; Romans 12:19-21 . There is here presented to us, as a law upon which Israel was to act, the principle of retaliation. And yet we have seen in the moralities of Le 19:17, 18, an express denunciation of revenge. How are we to reconcile this retaliation commanded with the revenge which is forbidden? Evidently the retaliation is to be deliberate, in cool blood, without the fever-heat of vengeance. Now, when we bear... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:17-22

The holy Law of God. These enactments, occasioned by the sin of the son of Shelomith, contain certain principles on which God founded his Law, and which he would have us introduce into our dealings and regulations now. These are— I. THE SACREDNESS OF HUMAN LIFE . "He that killeth any man shall surely be put to death" ( Leviticus 24:17 ). This is significantly repeated ( Leviticus 24:21 ) We can hardly be said to have learnt this lesson yet, after eighteen centuries of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 24:15-16

Leviticus 24:15-16. Whosoever curseth his God Speaketh of him reproachfully. Shall bear his sin That is, the punishment of it; shall not go unpunished, He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord This is a repetition of the same sin in other words, which is common. As this law is laid down in general terms, Leviticus 24:15, so both the sin and the punishment are particularly expressed, Leviticus 24:16. All the congregation To show their zeal for God, and to beget in them the greater... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 24:1-23

Reverence for God (24:1-23)Further instructions are given to remind the Israelites of their daily and weekly responsibilities in relation to the Holy Place. To begin with the people had to supply the oil so that the priests could keep the lamp burning continually (24:1-4). The priests also had to make sure that twelve cakes of ‘presence bread’, renewed weekly, were on the table before the Lord continually. This was possibly to symbolize that the nation Israel, which consisted of twelve tribes,... read more
