FOURTH JUDGEMENT
Ex 21:15 -
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to
death.
My comments: The maximum penalty for a person attacking a parent is
death.
Parents, on the other hand, must not abuse their responsibility
towards their children by treating them badly.
The Book of the Law of the Lord tells us to =93Honour our father
and our mother: give heed to their commandments, obey their laws, and
depart not from their precepts: reverence their age, and seek unto
their house all the days of thy life: exalt not thyself against them,
nor withhold to build up their house above thine own: honour and obey
the King and the Judges, and the rulers, and all that are set in
authority; for they are as fathers among the people: that they
may be a fear unto evil doers; and the Priest also, who stands before
the Lord, that he may instruct thee: and thy days shall be long upon
the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
