Leviticus 19:3

Context
19:3 Each of you must respect his mother and his father, 1  and you must keep my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.

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.”
