Die the death (θανάτῳ τελευτάτω)
The Hebrew idiom is, he shall certainly be executed. The Greek is, lit., let him come to his end by death. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Honour thy father and mother - Which implies all such relief as they stand in need of. Exo 20:12; Exo 21:17. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Honor thy father and mother - This word was taken in great latitude of meaning among the Jews: it not only meant respect and submission, but also to take care of a person, to nourish and support him, to enrich. See Num 22:17; Jdg 13:17; Ti1 5:17. And that this was the sense of the law, as it respected parents, see Deu 27:16, and see the note on Exo 20:12. |
