Lev. 24:1–9 These verses may have been a reminder not to forget the daily tabernacle activities in between the annual festivals described in ch. 23.
Lev. 24:5–9 The twelve loaves symbolize the 12 tribes of Israel as they stand in God’s presence. In Ex. 25:30 the loaves are called “the bread of the Presence.” New loaves are to be set out on each Sabbath.
Lev. 24:10–23 These verses are an example of the laws in Israel that arose in response to specific situations.
Lev. 24:10–12 The command against misusing God’s name (Ex. 20:7; 22:28) is mentioned again. The Exodus passages did not specify a penalty.
Lev. 24:13–16 let all who heard him lay their hands on his head. This may have been done to pass onto the one who cursed the guilt of all who had heard his curse and had thus become defiled. Or, it may have been done simply to indicate who it was that had uttered the curse.
Lev. 24:17–23 fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. This proverbial phrase means “the punishment must fit the crime” (compare Ex. 21:18–19). The law was intended for judges in a court of law; it was not intended as a way for individuals to “take the law into their own hands.”
