Leviticus 19:32 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Rise up To do them reverence when they pass by, for which end they were obliged, as the Jews say, presently to sit down again when they were past, that it might be manifest they arose out of respect to them. Fear thy God This respect is due to such, if not for themselves, yet for God's sake, who requires this reverence, and whose singular blessing old age is.

Leviticus 19:32

32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD.
