Contextual Overview
10 And forth went the son of a woman of Israel - he being the son of a man of Egypt - in the midst of the sons of Israel; 11 and the son of the woman of Israel, and a man of Israel, reviled one another in the camp. And the son of the Israelitish woman uttered contemptuously the Name, and reviled. So they brought him in unto Moses, - now, the name of his mother, was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan; 12 and they put him in ward, - that a clear answer might be given to them at the mouth of Yahweh. 13 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: 14 Bring forth him that reviled unto the out-side of the camp, then shall all that heard him lean their hands upon his head, - and all the assembly shall stone him. 15 And, unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak saying, - What man soever curseth his God shall bear his sin. 16 And, he that contemptuously uttereth the name of Yahweh, shall be, surely put to death, all the assembly shall, surely stone, him, - as the sojourner so the home-born, when he contemptuously-uttereth the Name, he shall be put to death. 17 And, when, any man, by smiting taketh the life of any human being, he shall be surely put to death, 18 And he that by smiting taketh away the life of a beast, shall make it good, - life for life. 19 And, when, any man, inflicteth a blemish upon his neighbour, as he hath done, so, shall it be done to him:

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they put him in ward,.... In some prison, a place known in the camp, as Aben Ezra observes:
that the mind of the Lord might be shewed them; for, though this was a breach of the third command, in which God declares he would not hold such an one guiltless, Exodus 20:7; yet no particular punishment being expressed, it was not a clear case whether the Lord would punish for it himself, by an immediate stroke of his hand, or whether by the civil magistrate; and if by the latter, in what manner; for though it might be concluded, without any hesitation, that he was worthy of death, since cursing father or mother was death, Exodus 21:17; and much more blaspheming God, yet what death to put him to they might be at a loss about; or if that was understood of stoning, they might think this deserved a sorer punishment, and therefore consulted God about it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The offender may already have been pronounced guilty by the rulers (see Exodus 18:21-22), and the case was referred to Moses in order that the punishment might be awarded by the divine decree. No law had as yet been enacted against blasphemy except by implication. See Exodus 21:17; Exodus 22:28.
