Leviticus 24:14-16
without Lev 13:46; Num 5:2-4, Num 15:35 all that Deut 13:9, Deut 17:7 let all the Lev 20:2, Lev 20:27; Num 15:35-36; Deut 13:10, Deut 21:21, Deut 22:21; Josh 7:25; John 8:59; John 10:31-33; Acts 7:58-59 bear his sin Lev 5:1, Lev 20:16-17; Num 9:13 blasphemeth As the word nakav not only signifies to curse, or blaspheme, but also to express, or distinguish by name (Num 1:17. 1Chr 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 Ονομαζων δε το ονομα Κυριου, θανατω θανατουσθω, "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 ο Κυριος.
