Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 24:15

In reading this verse, I would look up earnestly for grace for myself and the Reader, and say, LORD grant that I may never be brought into that awful state, to bear my own sin, the weight of which must sink the soul to everlasting destruction. Blessed JESUS! thou sin-bearing LAMB of GOD, how precious here again is the view of thee in this glorious character. Oh! may I know my own personal interest in that blessed scripture. Isaiah 53:5-6 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Leviticus 24:16-23

Upon the occasion of this man's transgression, opportunity is taken to repeat some of those laws which had been before delivered. And the punishment of Shelomith's son is related. Reader, do not close the chapter without taking with it the conclusion which it carries; that the wages of sin is, and must be, death. The soul that sinneth it shall die. Precious Redeemer! how reviving under all the sins and transgressions of my nature, whereby I stand most justly exposed to the dread sentence; how... read more

Head. To testify, that if they witness falsehood, they are willing to suffer the like punishment; and to beg that God would accept this victim, and not afflict all his people. (Tirinus) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Leviticus 24:15

His God. Hebrew Elohaiv. Philo explains this of idols, as if it were unlawful to speak ill of them, lest we should proceed to do so with respect to the true God. But the prophets, and the most holy personages, had no scruple in speaking contemptuously of the pagan divinities. --- His sin, and the punishment of it. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 24:10-23

10-23 This offender was the son of an Egyptian father, and an Israelitish mother. The notice of his parents shows the common ill effect of mixed marriages. A standing law for the stoning of blasphemers was made upon this occasion. Great stress is laid upon this law. It extends to the strangers among them, as well as to those born in the land. Strangers, as well as native Israelites, should be entitled to the benefit of the law, so as not to suffer wrong; and should be liable to the penalty of... read more

A Blasphemer Stoned v. 10. And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, one of the mixed multitude that went up with the children of Israel out of Egypt, Exodus 12:38, went out among the children of Israel, he left his tent and that part of the camp appointed for his people and mingled with the true Israelites; and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp, engaged in a quarrel; v. 11. and the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Leviticus 24:1-23

Light and Bread and the Holy Name Leviticus 24:1-23 The words “Before the Lord” are twice repeated in the opening paragraph. The pure lamplight, emblematic of the influence of a religious life; and the showbread, set on the golden table, emblematic of lives of obedience and devotion, which are well-pleasing to God, are both said to be “before the Lord.” We are reminded of the command to Abram, “Walk before me and be thou perfect;” and of the words of the dying Jacob, “The God before whom... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 24:1-23

As this chapter is read, it seems at first to be out of place or out of order. Yet undoubtedly it is not so. The fact that we may not be able clearly to see the connection does not warrant its omission or give us any ground for placing it elsewhere. In it provision was made concerning the oil and the shewbread. It would seem that the ingathering of harvest being complete and the feast thereof arranged for, in the giving of the laws they were thus reminded of the claims. of God on their... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 24:10-14

Blasphemy Against The Name (Leviticus 24:10-14 ). In the midst of all the ritual instructions in the first part of the book came the practical example as a warning of the sons of Aaron who offered strange fire before Yahweh. It was a warning that the ritual must be carried out meticulously. Now here in the second part of the book, which concentrates more on the practical expression of the covenant and its moral demands as associated closely with the name of Yahweh (we have noted the continual... read more
