The name of the Lord — The words of the Lord, or of Jehovah, are supplied out of Leviticus 24:16, where they are expressed; here they are omitted perhaps for the aggravation of his crime. He blasphemed the name so called by way of eminency; that name which is above every name; that name which a man should in some sort tremble to mention; which is not to be named without cause or without reverence. And cursed — Not the Israelite only, but his God also, as appears from Leviticus 24:15. And they brought him — Either the people who heard him, or the inferior magistrate, to whom he was first brought.
