(Ex 27:20, 21).
pure oil olive beaten--or cold-drawn, which is always of great purity.
Leviticus Chapter 24 3 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
3, 4. Aaron shall order it from the evening unto the morning--The daily presence of the priests was necessary to superintend the cleaning and trimming.
Leviticus Chapter 24 4 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
4. upon the pure candlestick--so called because of pure gold. This was symbolical of the light which ministers are to diffuse through the Church.
Leviticus Chapter 24 5 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
5-9. take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes--for the showbread, as previously appointed
(Ex 25:30).
Those cakes were baked by the Levites, the flour being furnished by the people
(1Ch 9:32; 23:29),
oil, wine, and salt being the other ingredients
(Le 2:13).
two tenth deals--that is, of an ephah--thirteen and a half pounds weight each; and on each row or pile of cakes some frankincense was strewed, which, being burnt, led to the showbread being called "an offering made by fire." Every Sabbath a fresh supply was furnished; hot loaves were placed on the altar instead of the stale ones, which, having lain a week, were removed, and eaten only by the priests, except in cases of necessity
(1Sa 21:3-6;
also
Lu 6:3, 4).
Leviticus Chapter 24 10 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
10. the son of an Israelitish woman, &c.--This passage narrates the enactment of a new law, with a detail of the circumstances which gave rise to it. The "mixed multitude"
[Ex 12:38]
that accompanied the Israelites in their exodus from Egypt creates a presumption that marriage connections of the kind described were not infrequent. And it was most natural, in the relative circumstances of the two people, that the father should be an Egyptian and the mother an Israelite.
Leviticus Chapter 24 11 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
11. And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord--A youth of this half-blood, having quarrelled with an Israelite
[Le 24:10],
vented his rage in some horrid form of impiety. It was a common practice among the Egyptians to curse their idols when disappointed in obtaining the object of their petitions. The Egyptian mind of this youth thought the greatest insult to his opponent was to blaspheme the object of his religious reverence. He spoke disrespectfully of One who sustained the double character of the King as well as the God of the Hebrew people; as the offense was a new one, he was put in ward till the mind of the Lord was ascertained as to his disposal.
Leviticus Chapter 24 14 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
14. Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp--All executions took place without the camp; and this arrangement probably originated in the idea that, as the Israelites were to be "a holy people"
[De 7:6; 14:2, 21; 26:19; 28:9],
all flagrant offenders should be thrust out of their society.
let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, &c.--The imposition of hands formed a public and solemn testimony against the crime, and at the same time made the punishment legal.
Le 24:1-23.
