The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:10-23
Shelomith's son. Here a narrative is introduced into the midst of a code of laws; but this is done as a preamble to enactments of whose publication the case was the occasion. We notice— I. THE CRIME OF THIS SON OF SHELOMITH . 1 . It was blaspheming the God of Israel. 2 . Strife was its occasion. 3 . Race was the origin of the strife. II. THE IMPEACHMENT OF THE BLASPHEMER . 1 . His witnesses arrested him. 2 . They kept him in ward... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:10-23
A suggestive episode. We have an affecting illustration in these verses of the truth that "The Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient,… for unholy and profane" ( 1 Timothy 1:9 ). The announcement of the Law is broken by the account of this transgression, and the transgression itself gives occasion for the enactment of other statutes ( Leviticus 24:15-22 ). The story and the statutes suggest— I. WHAT LASTING EVIL MAY ACCRUE FROM AN ... read more

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 24:17-22
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

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:18-21
A summary of the law respecting minor injuries is added to that respecting murder. He that killeth a man, he shall be put to death, but he that killeth a beast shall make it good; and this lex talionis shall apply to all damage done to another, breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth (see Matthew 5:38 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 24:22
As it had been a stranger who had on this occasion been the offender, the law, Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country, with the sanction, I am the Lord your God, is emphatically repeated (see Leviticus 19:34 ). read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 24:22-23
Leviticus 24:22-23. One law That is, in matters of common right, but not as to church privileges. Stone him with stones This blasphemer was the first that died by the law of Moses. Stephen, the first that died for the gospel, died by the abuse of the law. The martyr and the malefactor suffered the same death; but how vast the difference between them! read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 24:22
Verse 22 22.Ye shall have one manner of law. That the people of Israel, with their usual arrogance, might not suppose the race of Abraham only to be privileged, the Law is extended also to foreigners; and thus God shows that the whole body of the human race are under His care, so that He would not have those that are farthest off exposed to the licentious violence of the ungodly. In other points tie provided special privileges for His elect people; but here, because He created all men without... read more
