Leviticus 18:7
Leviticus 20:9
curses .............. cursed <07043> [curseth.]
The term {yekallel} signifies not only to curse, but to speak contemptuously, disrespectfully, or to make light of a person: so that all speeches which have a tendency to lessen our parents in the eyes of others, or to render their judgment, piety, etc., suspected or contemptible, is here included; though the act of cursing, or of treating the parent with injurious or opprobrious language, is what is particularly intended. He who conscientiously keeps the fifth commandment, can be in no danger of the judgment here denounced.
blood <01818> [his blood.]
Leviticus 18:13
Leviticus 19:3
respect <03372> [fear.]
keep <08104> [keep.]
Leviticus 21:2
Leviticus 21:11
father <01> [his father.]
Leviticus 20:14
woman <0802> [a wife.]
burned <08313> [burnt.]
Leviticus 22:27
seven days ...... day <03117 07651> [seven days.]
It was necessary for the mother's health that the young one should suck so long; and prior to this time, the process of nutrition in a young animal can scarcely be considered as completely formed. Besides this, it may justly be asserted, that the flesh of very young animals is comparatively innutritive. There is something brutish in eating the young of beast or fowl, before the hair and hoofs are perfect in the one, and feathers and claws in the other; and before this period, their flesh is not good for food, consequently they were not fit for sacrifice, which is termed the bread or food of God, (ver. 25.)
Leviticus 18:9
Leviticus 20:19
mother's <0517> [mother's.]
has laid bare .......... punishment <06168> [uncovereth.]
Leviticus 20:17
Leviticus 24:11
misused <05344> [blasphemed.]
Name ............. name <08034> [the name.]
Houbigant and others think that the name which this man blasphemed was the name of the god of his native land. But that {hashshem} THE NAME, denotes Jehovah, appears from its being used in the latter part of verse 16, as equivalent to "the name of Jehovah," in the former part. The Jews also frequently use {hashshem} for Jehovah.
cursed <07043> [cursed.]
brought .... Moses <0935 04872> [brought him.]
Leviticus 22:28
sheep <07716> [ewe. or, she goat. ye shall not kill it.]
This law was certainly intended to inculcate mercy and tenderness of heart; and so the Jews have understood it.
