Leviticus 24

2. Blasphemy. He who did blaspheme God, the Lord caused him to be stoned to death (Leviticus 24:11, 23). The Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord and cursed.

Eli's two disobedient sons were slain (1 Samuel 4:11). God made a law that the rebellious son should be stoned; the same death the blasphemer had (Leviticus 24:14; Deuteronomy 21:18). If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father or the…

These cakes were renewed every Sabbath in the morning; the renovation of them being part of the peculiar worship of the day. The manner of it, as also of the making of them is described (Leviticus 24:5-9). And because the new bread was to be brought in and immediately placed in…

Paul says of the heretic that he is [in non-Latin alphabet], after due admonitions (Titus 3:11). Therefore in some cases these may be punished with death; as Baal's prophets were slain (1 Kings 18:40 and Ezekiel 21:20, Leviticus 24:16). But of the whole question elsewhere.

For they maintain that the word for any deity, true or false, is used absolutely in this way. The word does indeed signify "God" emphatically in some places (Leviticus 24:11); but "name" absolutely nowhere, nor does it mean "idol." If this were true, nowhere could anyone find a…

Therefore sin is put for punishment, (Genesis 4:13). My iniquity (says Cain) is more than I can bear; or, My punishment is more than I can bear. (Leviticus 24:15). He that curses his God, shall bear his sin. (Ezekiel 23:49). And you shall bear the sins of your idols.

For witches renounce God, and human society: and therefore are worthily cut off: though they do no hurt: even because they make a league with the devil. Example 3. He that blasphemes the name of God, shall be put to death (Leviticus 24:16). Understand this law of manifest and no…

The latter clause which he quotes, he who kills shall be liable to the judgment, confirms what I said a little before, that Christ charges them with turning into a political scheme the law of God, which had been given for the government of the heart. 22. But I say to you His rep…

Here another error is corrected. God had enjoined, by his law, (Leviticus 24:20,) that judges and magistrates should punish those who had done injuries, by making them endure as much as they had inflicted. The consequence was, that every one seized on this as a pretext for takin…

The second about the daughters of Zelophead, who claimed their inheritance (Numbers 27:4, 5). The third about the blasphemer (Leviticus 24). The last about him that profaned the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32, 33, 34).

For the most part it was annexed to other sacrifices; and it was either stated and general, or occasional and particular. The stated meat-offerings say some, concerned the whole congregation, and they reckon up three of them; 1. The wave sheaf (Leviticus 23:10, 11). 2. The two w…

5. The like to this also, may be said concerning blasphemy, the law whereof is likewise commonly urged in this cause. The establishment for the punishment of a blasphemer is in Leviticus 24:16. Given it was upon the occasion of the blaspheming and cursing of the son of an Egypti…

For herein lies the spiritual evil of sins and that hidden poison and malignity of the corruption of our natures, that they jostle professedly against the Almighty so far as he is pleased to communicate himself to us in the ways of his holiness and goodness. Thus the blasphemer…

The magistrate's duty qua magistrate in matters of religion proved, and yet with a difference of the Christian and heathen magistrate's power in such matters. p. 42, 43, 44 The commands in the Old Testament for magistrates punishing in matters of the first Table, as Exodus 22:13…

And all the people shall hear and fear, and do no more presumptuously. Leviticus 24:16. And he that blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the Congregation shall certainly stone him: As well the stranger, as he that is born in the Land, when he…

The Scripture is called the Book of the Covenant (Exodus 24:7; 2 Kings 23:4; 2 Chronicles 34:30, 21). The question is easily determined — it can be the Book of no Covenant, but of that made with Abraham, the oath to Jacob (1 Chronicles 16:16, 17; Psalm 105:9; Jeremiah 11:5; Dani…

3rd Commandment: You shall not take the name of the Lord, etc. He breaks this commandment: who does irreverently use God's titles in his talk (Philippians 2:10); who swears to do a thing lawful and good and yet does it not (Matthew 5:23); who swears rashly (Jeremiah 4:2); who us…

(5) Because, it is expressly commanded in Scripture, that punishment be inflicted upon idolaters, even by the nearest relations. If then, the father may kill the son, may kill the daughter, the husband the wife of his bosom: and if one brother may stone another brother with ston…

Is it the duty of the Civil Magistrate to take order that all blasphemies and heresies be suppressed, all the ordinances of God duly settled, administered, and observed, all abuses in worship and discipline reformed, and all idolaters, gainsayers, and other obstinate dissenters…

(2) Because, it is the duty of the civil magistrate being born within the church, to take care that peace and unity be preserved and kept in the Church: that the truth and Word of God, be entirely, and soundly preached and obeyed: that blasphemies and heresies be kept under and…
