Wesley's Notes for Leviticus 24:18

24:16 He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord - This is a repetition of the same sin in other words, which is common. As this law is laid down in general terms, #Lev 24:15|, so both the sin and the punishment are particularly expressed, #Lev 24:16|. All the congregation - To shew their zeal for God, and to beget in them the greater dread and abhorrence of blasphemy.

24:17 He that killeth - This law is repeated here, to prevent the mischievous effects of men's striving together, which as here it caused blasphemy, so it might in others lead to murder.
