Thou didst blaspheme, Heb. bless. Blessing is put for cursing and blaspheming, as Job 1:5, Job 2:9, so also here, as is apparent, because his blessing God and the king had been no crime. It is a figure called euphemisms. God would have blasphemy so much abhorred, that it should not easily and unnecessarily be named by its proper name. Compare Psalms 16:4. Carry him out, to the place where malefactors were punished, which was out of the city, Leviticus 24:23 Joshua 7:24 Mark 15:20 Hebrews 13:12, partly to show that they were unworthy of all human society, and abhorred by all the people; and partly because the place where they were killed was thereby ceremonially polluted. Stone him; the proper punishment of blasphemers, Leviticus 24:15,16. That he may die; as one that cursed his God, and his political father, his king. See Exodus 21:17, Exodus 12:28.
