SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:12
Y lo pusieron en la cárcel, hasta que les fuese declarado por palabra del SEÑOR.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. And they put him in ward , etc.] In some prison, a place known in the camp, as Aben Ezra observes: that the mind of the Lord might be shewed them ; for, though this was a breach of the third command, in which God declares he would not hold such an one guiltless, ( Exodus 20:7); yet no particular punishment being expressed, it was not a clear case whether the Lord would punish for it himself, by an immediate stroke of his hand, or whether by the civil magistrate; and if by the latter, in what manner; for though it might be concluded, without any hesitation, that he was worthy of death, since cursing father or mother was death, ( Exodus 21:17 Leviticus 20:9); and much more blaspheming God, yet what death to put him to they might be at a loss about; or if that was understood of stoning, they might think this deserved a sorer punishment, and therefore consulted God about it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-23 - This offender was the son of an Egyptian father, and an Israelitis mother. The notice of his parents shows the common ill effect of mixe marriages. A standing law for the stoning of blasphemers was made upo this occasion. Great stress is laid upon this law. It extends to the strangers among them, as well as to those born in the land. Strangers as well as native Israelites, should be entitled to the benefit of the law, so as not to suffer wrong; and should be liable to the penalty of this law, in case they did wrong. If those who profane the name of God escape punishment from men, yet the Lord our God will not suffer the to escape his righteous judgments. What enmity against God must be in the heart of man, when blasphemies against God proceed out of his mouth. If he that despised Moses' law, died without mercy, of what punishment will they be worthy, who despise and abuse the gospel of the Son of God! Let us watch against anger, do no evil, avoid all connexions with wicked people, and reverence that holy name whic sinners blaspheme __________________________________________________________________
