Oil for the lamps, The shew-bread. (1-9) The law of
blasphemy, blasphemer is stoned. (10-23)
Verses 1-9 The
loaves of bread typify Christ as the Bread of life, and the food of the souls of
his people. He is the Light of his church, the Light of the world; in and
through his word this light shines. By this light we discern the food prepared
for our souls; and we should daily, but especially from sabbath to sabbath, feed
thereon in our hearts with thanksgiving. And as the loaves were left in the
sanctuary, so should we abide with God till he dismiss us.
Verses 10-23
This offender was the son of an Egyptian father, and an Israelitish mother. The
notice of his parents shows the common ill effect of mixed marriages. A standing
law for the stoning of blasphemers was made upon 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 them 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
which sinners blaspheme.
