Leviticus24:10
10 And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman, and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.
This circumstance seems noted, partly to shew the danger of marriages with persons of wicked principles or practises, wherein the children, as one wittily and truly observes, like the conclusion, do commonly follow the worse part, and are more easily taught by word or example to do ten things agreeable to their corrupt natures, than one thing contrary to it; and partly by this severity against him who was a stranger by the father, and an Israelite by the mother, to shew that God would not have this sin to go unpunished amongst his people, whatsoever he was that committed it.
To wit, out of Egypt, being one of that mixed multitude, which came out with the Israelites, Exod. 12. 38. It is probable, this was done when the Israelites were near Sinai.
This is added to shew, that provocation to sin is no justification of sin.
