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…

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…

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…

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 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…
