Exodus 20:12 - Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes

Bible Comments

Honour. This completes the first five, and ends with "promise "(Ephesians 6:2). These five, that relate to piety, are thus separated from the five that relate to probity. The first and fifth begin and end the five with honour to God, and to our parents whom He honours. They have nothing to do with our "neighbours".

Exodus 20:12

12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
