Rashbam on Leviticus
איש איש כי יקלל אלוקיו, this refers to someone cursing G’d by using one of the names which describe His attributes, כנויים, without uttering the tetragram that is forbidden to be uttered except by the High Priest on the Day of Atonement in the sanctuary. The individual in question who curses the attribute he had referred to after mentioning it will be dealt with by G’d, ונשא עונו., If, however he uttered the name of G’d’s essence, and had been warned not to, and curses that name, he will be executed, (as happened in the incident described in our chapter).
