Leviticus 24:16 - Treasury of Scripture Knowledge - Bible Study & Commentary

Verse 16

blasphemeth: As the word nakav not only signifies to curse, or blaspheme, but also to express, or distinguish by name (Numbers 1:17. 1 Chronicles 12:31. Isaiah 62:2), hence the Jews, at a very early period, understood this law as prohibiting them from uttering the name Jehovah, on any other than sacred occasions. The Septuagint, which was made at least 250 years before Christ, renders it םןלבזשם הו פן ןםןלב &ץסיןץ טבםבפש טבםבפןץףטש, "Whosoever nameth the name of the Lord, let him die;" from which we see that the Jews at this time were accustomed to pronounce adonay, or Lord, instead of Jehovah; for in place of it the Septuagint always put ן ץסיןע. Exodus 20:7, 1 Kings 21:10-1 Chronicles :, Psalms 74:10, Psalms 74:18, Psalms 139:20, Matthew 12:31, Mark 3:28, Mark 3:29, John 8:58, John 8:59, John 10:33-Zephaniah :, Acts 26:11, 1 Timothy 1:13, James 2:7

Reciprocal: Leviticus 19:12 - profane Leviticus 24:11 - blasphemed Deuteronomy 17:5 - stone them Deuteronomy 21:21 - all the men Deuteronomy 22:21 - stone her Matthew 9:3 - This Mark 14:64 - General Luke 5:21 - blasphemies John 19:7 - We have Acts 6:11 - blasphemous

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge was, and still is, a Bible reference work first published around 1830, created by the London publisher Samuel Bagster (1772-1851). It is a set of cross-references. That is, it consists entirely of a book-length listing of cross-references, showing only the chapter and verse citations with no accompanying text. About the size of a complete Bible, the TSK is also organized like a Bible, beginning at Genesis and ending at Revelation. Each verse of the Bible is cross-referenced to several others to enable the reader to gain a true sense of each word and phrase as it is used in the Bible.But the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge is usually described as being the work of R. A. Torrey. Most editions you can buy these days have Torrey's name on the cover, and sometimes in the title: R. A. Torrey's Treasury of Scripture Knowledge. According to commen knowledge, Torrey did not specifically try to claim authorship of the reference book, but he did become one of its chief promoters, and as his own fame rose, his endorsement of the book mattered to more and more people. Inevitably his name ended up on the cover. But if you read his introduction to the book, often printed inside, you see that he describes having first encountered it "some twenty years ago."Originally printed in a 700+ page book and now enhanced with two-way cross-referencing, this entire reference is available to you on StudyLight.org....

Torrey from references in Thomas Scott's Commentary and the Comprehensive Bible. With nearly 500,000 cross-references it is the most thorough source available.... Show more
