The Law of the Blasphemer – Leviticus E9
BibleProject
The significance of treating someone's name as cursed in Hebrew culture
Treating someone's name as cursed in Hebrew culture signifies public dishonor and disgrace, implying the person is of low status. This act is the opposite of a blessing and involves asking God to bring misfortune, sickness, and death upon the individual and their family. The Hebrew word 'calel' is used to describe the action of treating a name as if it's light or of no significance, while 'halel' is the phrase used to mean profaning the name. The concept indicates publicly dishonoring and treating the name as dirt, which is a serious transgression in Hebrew culture.
