And all those who heard shall lay their hands on his head, and all the congregation shall stone him. 15 And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, When any man curses his God then he shall bear his sin. 16 And he who blasphemes the name of Jehovah dying shall die.

the name: Houbigant and others think that the name which this man blasphemed was the name of the god of his native land. But that hashshem THE NAME, denotes Jehovah, appears from its being used in the latter part of Leviticus 24:16, as equivalent to "the name of Jehovah," in the former part. The Jews also frequently use hashshem for Jehovah.

cursed: Job 1:5, Job 1:11, Job 1:22, Job 2:5, Job 2:9, Job 2:10, Isaiah 8:21

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name [of the Lord], and cursed,.... As they were striving together, or when the trial was over, he being cast, fell into outrageous blasphemies against God, who made such laws for the civil polity of Israel, and cursed the judges that had given sentence against him; so the Targum of Jonathan; and so the Jews generally understand by the "name" blasphemed, the name Jehovah, which he spake out plainly, and which, they say, is ineffable, and ought not to be pronounced but by the high priest in the sanctuary; but this man expressed it in its proper sound, and made use of it to curse the man that strove with him, or the judge that judged him; so it is said in the Misnah d,

"a blasphemer is not guilty until he expresses the name;''

but it undoubtedly means blaspheming God himself, by whatsoever name:

and they brought him unto Moses; having heard his blasphemy, to charge him with it before him, or in order to have due punishment inflicted on him: as to the matter of contest between him and the Israelite, that had been decided in a lesser court of judicature, such an one as had been set up by the advice of Jethro; but though there was full proof of his blasphemy and cursing, which, perhaps, were expressed in open court; they might not know what punishment to inflict upon him for so horrid a crime, of which, perhaps, they had never had an instance before, and therefore sent him to Moses, to whom the hearing and decision of weighty matters belonged; see Exodus 18:22;

and his mother's name [was] Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan; which is observed, as it should seem, to show in what tribe this affair happened, and what the quarrel was first about, even a place and rank in this tribe.

d Sanhedrin, c. 7. sect. 5.
