Levítico 24:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 24:12

And they put him in ward
In some prison, a place known in the camp, as Aben Ezra observes: that the mind of the Lord might be shewed them;
for, though this was a breach of the third command, in which God declares he would not hold such an one guiltless, ( Exodus 20:7 ) ; yet no particular punishment being expressed, it was not a clear case whether the Lord would punish for it himself, by an immediate stroke of his hand, or whether by the civil magistrate; and if by the latter, in what manner; for though it might be concluded, without any hesitation, that he was worthy of death, since cursing father or mother was death, ( Exodus 21:17 ) ( Leviticus 20:9 ) ; and much more blaspheming God, yet what death to put him to they might be at a loss about; or if that was understood of stoning, they might think this deserved a sorer punishment, and therefore consulted God about it.

Levítico 24:12 In-Context

10 En aquella saz贸n el hijo de una mujer israelita, el cual era hijo de un hombre egipcio, sali贸 entre los hijos de Israel; y el hijo de la israelita y un var贸n de Israel ri帽eron en el real.
11 Y el hijo de la mujer israelita pronunci贸 el Nombre, y maldijo; entonces le llevaron a Mois茅s. Y su madre se llamaba Selomit, hija de Dibri, de la tribu de Dan.
12 Y lo pusieron en la c谩rcel, hasta que les fuese declarado por palabra del SE脩OR.
13 Entonces el SE脩OR habl贸 a Mois茅s, diciendo:
14 Saca al blasfemo fuera del real, y todos los que le oyeron pongan sus manos sobre la cabeza de 茅l, y apedr茅elo toda la congregaci贸n.
