The Ten Commandments given to the sons of Israel included this command: “Honor your father and your mother in order that your days may prove long upon the ground that Jehovah your God is giving you. ”
Starp desmit baušļiem, kas bija doti izraēliešiem, bija ietverta šāda pavēle: ” Godini savu tēvu un savu māti, lai tu ilgi dzīvotu tanī zemē, ko tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, ir tev devis. ” ( 2. Moz. 20: 12.)
