This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Lev_19:3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I [am] the LORD your God.
Ver. 3. Ye shall fear every man his mother.] The mother is set first, because usually most slighted. The days of mourning for my father are at hand, then will I slay my brother Jacob, said that profane profligate. {Gen_27:41} As for his mother, he makes no reckoning of her, he cared not to grieve her.
And keep my Sabbaths.] To the which the honouring of good governors, who are to see the Sabbath sanctified by all under their roof, doth very much conduce.
