"Honour thy father and thy mother" is one of the Ten Commandments in the Hebrew Bible. The commandment is generally regarded in Protestant and Jewish sources as the fifth in both the list in Exodus 20:1–21, and in Deuteronomy 5:1–23, though in Catholic counting this is the fourth commandment.〔Article ‘’Ten Commandments,’’ New Bible Dictionary, Second Edition, Tyndale House, 1982 pp. 1174–1175〕 These commandments are widely understood as moral imperatives by legal scholars, Jewish scholars, Catholic scholars, and Post-Reformation scholars.〔''How Judges Think'', Richard A. Posner, Harvard University Press, 2008, p. 322; ''Ten Commandments'', New Bible Dictionary, Second Edition, Tyndale House, 1982 pp. 1174–1175; ''The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia'', Geoffrey W. Bromiley, 1988, p. 117; ''Renewal theology: systematic theology from a charismatic perspective'', J. Rodman Williams, 1996 p. 240; ''Making moral decisions: a Christian approach to personal and social ethics'', Paul T. Jersild, 1991, p. 24〕 The Book of Exodus describes the Ten Commandments as being spoken by God, inscribed on two stone tablets by the finger of God, broken by Moses, and rewritten on replacements stones by the Lord. ==Hebrew Bible== In the Torah, keeping this commandment was associated with individual benefit〔Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Exodus 20:12 (read online ) and on Ephesians 6:1–4 (read online ) (both accessed 31 August 2009).〕 and with the ability of the nation of Israel to remain in the land to which God was leading them.〔Commentary on Exodus 20:12, ''The Jewish Study Bible: Tanakh Translation'', Berlin, Adele; Brettler, Marc Zvi, and Fishbane, Michael, eds. Oxford University Press. 2004 ISBN 0-19-529751-2.〕〔See also Deuteronomy 6:3–4〕 Dishonouring parents by striking or cursing them was punishable by death.〔Exodus 21:15,17, Leviticus 20:9. See also Deuteronomy 27:16 and Proverbs 20:20.〕 In the Talmud, the commandment to honour one's human parents is compared to honoring God.〔Mishneh Torah, Shoftim, Mamrim 6:1〕〔Kitzor Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah 143:1〕 According to the prophet Malachi, God makes the analogy himself: In the gospels, Jesus affirmed the importance of honouring one's father and mother.〔Matthew 19:17–19, Mark 10:17–19, Luke 8:18–21〕 Paul quotes the commandment in his letter to the church in Ephesus.〔Ephesians 6:1–2, See also Colossians 3:20〕 In his letters to the Romans and Timothy, Paul describes disobedience to parents as a serious sin.〔Romans 1:29–31, 2 Timothy 3:2〕 According to the Catholic Catechism, the importance of honouring father and mother is based on the divine origin of the parental role: The Post-Reformation theologian John Calvin also refers to the sacred origin of the role of human father, and comments that the commandment does not therefore depend on the particular worthiness of the parent.〔Calvin, John.
