‘Cursed ¹  is the one who disrespects ²  his father and mother.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’

Jerahmeel had another wife named Atarah; she was Onam’s mother.

If I cry ¹  to corruption, ²  ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My Mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

but from my youth I raised the orphan ¹  like a father, and from my mother’s womb ²  I guided the widow! ³

A wise child ¹  brings joy to his father, but a foolish person ²  despises ³  his mother.

Jacob obeyed his father and mother and left for Paddan Aram.
