For everyone that curseth his father or his mother, etc.] Here begins the account of the penalties annexed to the several laws in the preceding chapter; and that respecting the fear and honour of parents being the first, (<031903>Leviticus 19:3), is here begun with: shall surely be put to death; the Targum of Jonathan adds, “by casting of stones,” stoning being the punishment of such transgressors: he hath cursed his father or his mother: to do either is his sin, and a capital crime it is: his blood [shall be] upon him: he shall be guilty of death, be condemned unto it, and punished with it, namely, by stoning; for, as Jarchi observes, wherever it is, “his blood [shall be] on him”, or “their blood shall be on them”, it is to be understood of stoning.
