Lev 20:9 — For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood [shall be] upon him.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

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. Exd 21:17; Deu 27:16; Pro 20:20; Pro 30:11,17; Mat 15:4; Mar 7:10
his blood		Lev 20:11-13,16,27; Jos 2:19; Jdg 9:24; 2Sa 1:16; 1Ki 2:32; Mat 27:25
