“There was a man who was the son of a woman of Israel and an Egyptian father. He went out among the people of Israel, and this son of a woman of Israel had a fight in the camp with a man of Israel, in the course of which the son of the woman of Isra’el uttered the Name [Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh] in a curse. So they brought him to Moshe. (His mother’s name was Shlomit the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)” -Leviticus 24:10-11
From verse 10 we are suddenly thrust into an interesting and intense situation.
A half-blooded Israelite gets into a fight with a full-blooded Israelite and at some point in the heat of the battle, the half-blooded Israelite raises his voice and shouts out a curse using God’s HOLY and personal SHEM or Name, YHWH.
Recall there was a mixed multitude that joined Israel when Israel left Egypt.
As a result, there were probably thousands and thousands of many half-Egyptian and half-Israelite children as a result of the many mixed marriages that inevitably occurred.
So we’re told that it was one of these half-Egyptian/half-Israelite kids who in the midst of a brawl blasphemed God’s Holy name.
He took God’s HOLY Name in vain, which means He broke one of the major commandments of God as cited in Exodus:
“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.”-Exodus 20-7
The commandment says, the Lord will not hold the blasphemer guiltless for his crime.
In this case, we see that the consequence for taking the Lord’s Name in vain is DEATH.
Yikes!!!
There are two fascinating points about these verses that I want to share.
First, it’s interesting we’re told specifically from which tribe the man came (from his mother’s Israelite side).
We’re told he came from the Tribe of Dan.
This is interesting because Dan was the tribe that after entering the Promised Land would eventually separate themselves from the other tribes of Israel and form their own cult.
The city of Dan located in Northern Israel became the center worship area for this cult.
They actually built their own Temple and altar and practiced all sorts of heathen rituals forbidden by the God of Israel.
Remnants of the city of Dan can actually be seen to this very day.
The Tribe of Dan would eventually come to be known as the rebellious bad boys of Israel.
This won’t be the first and last time that someone from the Tribe of Dan was called out for doing something wrong.
We’ll find that Dan was time and time again used as an object lesson.
Second, in verse 11 where it says the son of the Hebrew woman “cursed” or “blasphemed” (depending on which translation you’re using), the Name of God, the Hebrew word being used for “blaspheme” is NAQAB.
I said before that this chapter contains a couple of hidden references to the Messiah.
Well, this Hebrew word NAQAB is another one of those references.
Remember a couple of posts ago I taught that the olives from which the oil was taken to fuel the MENORAH could not be crushed per the usual way of doing things.
Instead, those olives had to beaten.
Well, along similar lines, the literal meaning of NAQAB gives us an idea of the exact nature of the capital crime of using God’s Name in an unworthy manner.
Literally, NAQAB means to pierce.
That’s right, it literally means to pierce in the sense of causing harm by creating a blood-flowing piercing wound.
And it is this word NAQAB that is usually translated into the word “blaspheme” in English.
So what this half-Egyptian kid did was literally “pierce” God’s HOLY Name.
Excellent, well thought out.
Thank you for your reading and your kind comment Delilah! Be blessed and shalom!
I wrote about blasphemy of the Holy Spirit not knowing saying GD since his name is not god but YHWH YAHWEH SO HIS NAME IS NOT GOD I HAVE NEVER CUSSED YAHWEH AND YESHUA I SREAM IN QUESTIONS ALL ALONE BEIBG HUNGRY SUFFERING BUT I ASK FOR FORGIVENESS HE SAID HE LOVES US MORE THAN OUR EARTLY FATHER I DID NOT HAVE A EARTHLY FATHER I HAVE ISSUES WITH LOVE SO I AM GOING TO HELL FOR SAYING GD ?? No pentecostal preacher told me that or Assembly of God? So I guess I am dying I was healed of state 3 kidney disease 4 months ago snd I have it again. I praised Yahweh and Yeshua told strangers and when Thursday I got it back before I got hysterical I said maybe they ar given me favor taking me on to Heaven I do not have services or make enough in disability I have never been told cussing god saying GD AND SCREAM I WOULD BE IN HELL? I did not know? So I am going to hell? Honest truth please! I was never told cussing using gods name would send me to hell? I am about to faint…I did not know his name is not God it’s Yahweh please help me thank you
Hey Victoria, I can tell you’re in a lot of mental torment. First, let me reassure you I don’t think you’re going to hell for some verbal mistake you uttered. In moments of frustration, we’ve all said things we later regret. Remember even Peter denied his messiah 3 times during a pressure-cooked situation. I think the very fact your conscience is bothering you is more than enough evidence that your relationship with God is intact. Remember, our God is a God of love and He wouldn’t do anything in a flippant manner.
Second, I can totally relate to your broken family situation. I too, come from a completely broken family and am estranged from both my biological mother and father. My only parents and siblings now are God Himself and my fellow brothers and sisters in the faith.
Remember in any challenging situation in life, it comes down to 2 choices: you can focus on the situation OR you can focus on God.
I find that when I focus on God, whatever thing is bothering me tends to fade away.
I’ll say a prayer for you that you can come to peace about this.
Shalom.
Tears thank you I am weeping I know I must be dying because I have never been healed by Yeshua and him give me or allow the no cure disease to come back but he healed me dying in April with clots to stage 4 kidney disease I would never do dialysis then I got low thyroid disease lost 3/4 of my hair I was raised pentecostal and Assembly of God then discovered there in no J in the Hebrew alphabet he was Yeshua and god was called Yahweh so dying at my job on the job on stairs that already hurt a lady I died 6 minutes I have a traumatic brain injury and closed head injury and cognitive issues and I have struggled with burning mouth syndrome feels all day and night 8 years like drinking boiling water on fire my son went atheist real bad has 50,000 followers I did witness in 2017 while he was away to the 50,000 atheists make horrible sexual things about our Savior on the cross he is God the Skeptic Houston’s Most Famous Atheist and had a symbol of our Savior and Santa Claus the last time I was there in 2016 demonic he married a Chinese girl who hates me who took his soul he denies and they make fun of our Savior and I went on this is what I said I will tell you and I will finish I have not had the healing of the burning mouth disease I take 2 pain pills late same dose 8 years no I am not addicted it 11:52 pm and I have put up with the burn since noon to now I am on fire so I will have to take my two pain pills just to get down on the pain scale 1-10 I might get relief to 7 anyway it has gotten a tiny bit better but I am on fire like 500 so it’s called the suicide disease and I would never take my life even thought real hard about it but no way I have a sound mind.
