Rashi on Leviticus 20:9

Home

Torah

9 โ€Ž[1] ืื‘ื™ื• ื•ืืžื• ืงืœืœ HE HATH CURSED HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER โ€” These apparently redundant words are intended to include as subject to the death penalty one who curses his parents after their death (Sanhedrin 85b).

โ€Ž[2] ื“ืžื™ื• ื‘ื• HIS BLOOD IS UPON HIM โ€” This implies execution by stoning; similarly wherever the expressions ื“ืžื™ื• ื‘ื• or ื“ืžื™ื”ื ื‘ื occur. We learn this Halachic rule from the case of ืื•ื‘ and ื™ื“ืขื•ื ื™ of whom Scripture expressly states, (v. 27) [โ€œthey shall surely be put to death], they shall overwhelm them with stones, their blood is upon them (ื“ืžื™ื”ื ื‘ื)โ€ (Sifra, Kedoshim, Chapter 10 7; cf. Sanhedrin 54a; Keritot 5a). But according to the literal sense of the passage it means the same as the expression ื“ืžื• ื‘ืจืืฉื• (Joshua 2:19): โ€œ[whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street his blood shall be upon his own head] (ื“ืžื• ื‘ืจืืฉื•)โ€ where the meaning is: No one deserves punishment on account of his death except himself, for he brought it upon himself that he should be killed (i. e. it was his own fault).
