Lev 24:16 — And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, [and] all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name [of the LORD], shall be put to death.

"As the word nakav not only signifies to curse, or blaspheme, but also to express, or distinguish by name, (Num 1:17. 1Ch 12:31. Isa 62:2,) hence the Jews, at a very early period, understood this law as prohibiting them from uttering the name Jehovah, on any other than sacred occasions. The Septuagint, which was made at least 250 years before Christ, renders it [Onomazon de to onoma Kyriou, thanato thanatoustho] ""Whosoever nameth the name of the LORD, let him die;"" from which we see that the Jews at this time were accustomed to pronounce adonay, or LORD, instead of Jehovah; for in place of it the Septuagint always put [Lo Kyrios.] Exd 20:7; 1Ki 21:10-13; Psa 74:10,18; Psa 139:20; Mat 12:31; Mar 3:28,29; Jhn 8:58,59; Jhn 10:33-36; Act 26:11; 1Ti 1:13; Jam 2:7" |
