VERSE 15
To smite either father or mother, in a manner which indicated
either contempt or malice, or left marks of violence, was
deemed a proof of so ungrateful and unnatural a disposition,
that no provocation was admitted as an excuse, but the
offence was made capital: nay, he who cursed his father or
mother, who uttered imprecations, ill wishes, or revilings,
against a parent, was included in the same sense; though few
crimes were made capital by the law of Moses. The law of
God, as delegated to parents is honored when they are
honored, and despised when they are despised: and to rebel
against the lawful exercise of this authority is rebellion
against God.--Rev. T. Scott
