Leviticus 24:16

And he that blasphemeth 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 blasphemeth the name [of the LORD], shall be put to death.

Ver. 16. And he that blasphemeth.] Swearers and blasphemers toss God's name to and fro with such impiety and profaneness, as if their speech could have no grace but in his disgrace: as if Augustus Caesar were dealing with some god Neptune; or the three sons trying their archery at their father's heart, to see who can shoot nearest. a

Shall surely be put to death.] Though he be never so much provoked by others, as this blasphemer was; that shall no whit excuse him.
