Israelitish (Man living at the time of the Patriarchs)

Not a name. Leviticus uses it for the mother of a man stoned for blasphemy, Shelomith, daughter of Dibri of Dan, who had married an Egyptian. The case asked whether the law covered someone of mixed parentage, and the answer was one law for native and foreigner alike.

Who this is

Israelitish is not a personal name but an adjective describing the mother of the man stoned for blasphemy in Leviticus 24:10-11; she is named Shelomith, daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan, married to an Egyptian. The passage uses her Israelite identity to raise the legal question of whether the law against blasphemy applied to someone of mixed parentage. God's answer, that one law applies to native and foreigner alike, settles the case.
