Lev 24:10
Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the sons of Israel; and the Israelite woman's son and a man of Israel struggled with each other in the camp.

Lev 24:11
And the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name and cursed. So they brought him to Moses. (Now his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.)

Lev 24:12
And they put him in custody so that the command of the LORD might be made clear to them.

The one who did the blaspheming is a young man or boy of mixed nationality whose mother was an Israelite from the tribe of Dan and whose father was an Egyptian. There was a mixed multitude that left in the exodus from Egypt (Ex. 12:37-38). This is one of the main reasons it is wrong to marry an unbeliever. One problem is with the offspring of the marriage. They don't know if they should follow the father or the mother. Even if they make the right decision, they will always look back and wonder if they made the right decision. This boy got into a fight. That is easy to envision because he is not really a member of either camp. During the fight, he blasphemed Elohim. Israel considered Elohim's name extremely sacred. Jews take this so seriously that they have not pronounced His name for centuries. Because of this, all we know is that the name consisted of the consonants YHWH. To this day, we don't know if we are to pronounce it "Yahweh" or "Yahuah." But this boy knew how to pronounce it.
