Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 24:22
"Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the sojourner, as for the home-born: for I am Jehovah your God."This verse reveals the reason for mentioning all of the offenses just enumerated, making all of them applicable to sojourners and home-born alike. It was with a view to averting disaster for all Israel that death was inflicted upon the blasphemer. "Disaster must descend upon the land where the Name is cursed, the lordship of the living God is repudiated, no matter whether the offender... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 24:20
Leviticus 24:20. Breach for breach, &c.— These words fully prove that we are to take those in Exo 21:24 in a literal sense. We are not to imagine that individuals were permitted to avenge themselves, they were to refer their injuries to the judges. There is no doubt, however, that reason, in various cases, required a compensation; for the same member is far more valuable to one man than to another; as in that case mentioned by Diodorus Siculus, lib. 12: where the one-eyed man complains of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 24:22
Leviticus 24:22. Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, &c.— This was a merciful provision that strangers might not be treated unjustly, God declaring that one and the same law should judge the native and the stranger. For "I am the Lord your God," says he; "a just and holy God, and who will have no respect to persons in judgment." read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 24:10-23
E. The punishment of a blasphemer 24:10-23This is another narrative section of Leviticus (cf. chs. 8-10). Its position in the book must mean that it took place after God had given Moses the instructions about the holy lamps and showbread (Leviticus 24:1-9). This fact underlines that Leviticus is essentially a narrative work. God gave the legal information at specific times and places to meet particular situations in Israel’s life. [Note: Wenham, The Book . . ., pp. 308-9.] This is how case law... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 24:18
(18) And he that killeth a beast.—The law about killing a human being is now followed by the enaetments with regard to killing a beast. He who kills an animal has to make it good by giving another animal for it. The case is not the same as that legislated for in Exodus 21:33-34. 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
