Exodus 22:28 meaning and explanation
You must not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.
Exodus 22:28, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
This verse sits within the Book of the Covenant, the case laws Moses gives Israel after the Ten Commandments. The Hebrew verb often translated "blaspheme" carries the sense of treating God lightly or with contempt, and the second clause pairs that with cursing the ruler, meaning the leader or magistrate set over the people.
