Deut. 5:15      Deut. 5:17

Deuturonomy 5:16

Honor (value, esteem, respect) your father and your mother, as the Lord your God (Yahweh Elohim) has commanded you, so that your days may be long and it may go well with you (good) in the land (literally: "on/over the ground") that the Lord your God (Yahweh Elohim) has given you.
[It is the parents' responsibility, not that of religious leaders, to pass on God's teachings to the next generation. This commandment has to do with both reverence for God and reverence for people (and is placed centrally). For a child, their parents are like a god. By respecting their parents, whom a child can see, they learn to respect God, whom they cannot see. The child also sees how their parents are subject to their Father in heaven, whom they obey. Through this, the child also learns the fear of God. The last part, "in the land...," is not included in Ex. 20:12, nor is it referred to in Eph. 6:2.]
