Leviticus 19:30

Purity, Honor, Respect, and Honesty

19:30 “‘You must keep my Sabbaths and fear my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

Leviticus 26:2

26:2 You must keep my Sabbaths and reverence ¹  my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

Leviticus 19:3

19:3 Each of you must respect his mother and his father, ²  and you must keep my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.

[26:2]  ¹ tn Heb “and my sanctuary you shall fear.” Cf. NCV “respect”; CEV “honor.”

[19:3]  ¹ tn Heb “A man his mother and his father you [plural] shall fear.” The LXX, Syriac, Vulgate, and certain Targum mss reverse the order, “his father and his mother.” The term “fear” is subject to misunderstanding by the modern reader, so “respect” has been used in the translation. Cf. NAB, NRSV “revere”; NASB “reverence.”
