Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord.--Better, And he that curseth the name of the Lord. The case is, however, different when it is the God of Israel. It is henceforth to be the law that whosoever curses Jehovah is to suffer death by lapidation, which is to be inflicted upon the criminal by the Jewish community.As well the stranger as he that is born in the land.--This law is applicable alike to the proselyte and to the Gentile, who does not even profess to believe in Jehovah.When he blasphemeth the name of the Lord.--Better, when he curseth the Name. Here again the expression "Name" has, out of reverence, been substituted for Jehovah.
