It is the opposite of כָּבֵד (kaved, “to be heavy,” that is, to treat with reverence and proper deference). To treat a parent lightly is to dishonor him or her and thus violate the fifth commandment (Deut 5:16; cf. Exod 21:17).

[27:15]  ³ tn Heb “craftsman’s hands.”

[27:15]  ⁴ tn Or “So be it!” The term is an affirmation expressing agreement with the words of the Levites.

[27:20]  ¹ tn Heb “who lies with” (so NASB, NRSV); also in vv. 22, 23. This is a Hebrew idiom for having sexual relations (cf. NIV “who sleeps with”; NLT “who has sexual intercourse with”).

[27:20]  ² tn See note at Deut 22:30.

[27:20]  ³ tn Heb “he uncovers his father’s skirt” (NASB similar). See note at Deut 22:30.
