Commentary on Leviticus 24:10

Theological / Devotional

The son of an Israelitish woman. The fact that the young man was the son of an Egyptian, and that he “went out among the children of Israel,” indicates that he was not allowed within the camp proper, but entered nevertheless. Here a quarrel arose, and the young man blasphemed the name of the Lord. Since he did not belong in the camp but was counted a stranger, he was put in ward until the will of the Lord could be ascertained, that is, until they could learn how the laws of Israel applied to one who was at least in part a stranger. When he entered the camp in the first place, it had been his purpose to pitch his tent there (PP 407).
