Leviticus24:11
11 And the Israelitish womans son blasphemed the Name of the LORD , and cursed, and they brought him unto Moses, (and his mothers name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)
The words of the Lord, or of Iehovah, are here conveniently supplied out of v. 16. where they are expressed, but here they are omitted for the aggravation of his crime, he blasphemed the name so called by way of eminency, that name which is above every name, that name which a man should in some sort tremble to mention, which is not to be named without cause and without reverence. For which reason the godly Iews did many times rather understand than express the name of God, as Mark 14. 62. the right hand of power, for of the power of God, as it is Luk. 22. 69▪ and the blessed for the blessed God, Mat. 26. 63. Mark 14. 61.
Not the Israelite onely, but his God also, as appears from ver. 15, 16.
Either the people who heard him, or the inferiour Magistrate, to whom he was first brought.
According to the order settled by Iethro's advice, Exod. 18. 26.
Marginal references: Or, named. Numb. 1. 17
