Leviticus 24:17 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

This law is repeated here, either to justify this sentence of putting blasphemers to death, from the same severity executed for a less crime; or to prevent the mischievous effects of men's striving or contending together, which as here it caused blasphemy, so it might in others lead to murder.

Leviticus 24:17

17 And he that killetha any man shall surely be put to death.
