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 21:10-13, 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 10:33-36, Acts 26:11, 1 Timothy 1:13, James 2:7

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord,.... Or, "but he that blasphemeth", c. from whence the Jews gather, that the name Jehovah must be expressed, or it is no blasphemy so Jarchi; but it is not bare using or expressing the word Jehovah that is blasphemy, but speaking ill and contemptuously of God, with respect to any of his names, titles, and epithets, or of any of his perfections, ways, and works:

he shall surely be put to death; no mercy shall be shown him, no reprieve or pardon granted him: hence it is said f, there is no atonement for it, by repentance, or chastisements, or the day of atonement: so blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is not forgiven, neither in this world nor in that which is to come, Matthew 12:31;

[and] all the congregation shall certainly stone him; shall have no pity on him, nor spare him, but stone him till he dies:

as well the stranger as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name [of the Lord], shall be put to death; even a proselyte of the gate, a Gentile that sojourned among them, uncircumcised, and did not profess the Jewish religion, as well as a proselyte of righteousness, and an Israelite born; yet, if he blasphemed the God of Israel, was to lose his life without any mercy shown him.

f R. Alphes, par. 1. Yoma, c. 1. fol. 261. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Stranger - i. e. foreigner. See Leviticus 16:29 note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 24:16. Blasphemeth the name of the Lord — ונקב שם יהוה venokeb shem Yehovah, he who pierces, transfixes, or, as some translate it, expounds, the name of Jehovah; Leviticus 24:10. This being the name by which especially the Divine Essence was pointed out, it should be held peculiarly sacred. We have already seen that the Jews never pronounce this name, and so long has it been disused among them that the true pronunciation is now totally lost; Exodus 6:3.
