Leviticus 24 Study & Commentary

Instructions are given for the pure olive oil for the lamps and the twelve cakes of shewbread set before the LORD. The chapter also records a case of blasphemy, where a man cursed the Name of the LORD and was stoned, establishing that both the stranger and the home-born are subject to God’s law.
1. Light and Bread: The lamp (Holy Spirit) and the bread (Christ, the Bread of Life) must always be present in the believer’s life.
2. The Weight of Our Words: Blaspheming the Name of God is a grave sin, reminding us to "hallow" His Name in our speech and thoughts.
3. Equality under the Law: God’s moral standards apply to everyone, showing His impartiality and justice.
