24:16 He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord - This is a repetition of the same sin in other words, which is common. As this law is laid down in general terms, Lev 24:15, so both the sin and the punishment are particularly expressed, Lev 24:16. All the congregation - To shew their zeal for God, and to beget in them the greater dread and abhorrence of blasphemy.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

16. 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-Although strangers were not obliged to be circumcised, yet by joining the Israelitish camp, they became amenable to the law, especially that which related to blasphemy.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

24:10-23 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.

1 Kings 21:10 and seat two worthless men before him, and let them testify against him, saying, 'You cursed God and the king.' Then take him out and stone him to death."

Matthew 12:31 "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.

Mark 3:28 "Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; (NASB ©1995)

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.

blasphemeth As the word {nakav} not only signifies to curse, or blaspheme, but also to express, or distinguish by name, Nu 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 [], `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 []. Ex 20:7 1Ki 21:10-13 Ps 74:10,18 139:20 Mt 12:31 Mr 3:28,29 Joh 8:58,59 10:33-36 Ac 26:11 1Ti 1:13 Jas 2:7
