And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name [of the LORD], and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name [was] Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)
Ver. 11. Blasphemed the name, &c.] Heb., Bored it through; gored it; pierced it; as did those Syrians, slain by the fall of the wall of Aphek; Rabshakeh that dead dog; Isa 36:4-6 Julian the apostate, Chosroes the Persian, the raging Turk at the siege of Scodra; a that foul mouthed Papist that dared say, The God of the Protestants is worse than Pan, god of clowns, which can endure no ceremonies nor good manners at all. b To these add Paul Best, who hath lately published blasphemous verses against the Trinity. See the "London Ministers' Testimonial to the Truth of Jesus Christ."
