Setteth light by<\/em> or dishonoureth<\/em>, the opposite of honour<\/em>, Deu 5:16<\/span>.<\/p>\n Verse 16<\/span>. Setteth light by his father or his mother.<\/B><\/I>] See Clarke on <\/span>Ex 20:12<\/span><\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n Setteth light; <\/B>or, despiseth<\/I> in his heart; or reproacheth<\/I> or curseth<\/I>, to wit, secretly, as before; for if the fact was notorious, it was punished with death, Lev 20:9<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n Cursed [be] he that setteth light by his father, or his mother<\/strong>,…. That secretly despises them in his heart, and by looks and gestures mocks at them in a private manner, unseen by others, Pr 30:17<\/span>; for if he publicly cursed them, that was cognizable by the civil magistrate, and he was to be put to death, Le 20:9<\/span>. This follows next, as in the order of the ten commands, to that which respects the fear and worship of God; honouring parents being next to the glorifying of God, the Father of all:<\/p>\n and all the people shall say Amen<\/strong>; applaud the righteous sentence, saying, “so let it be”.<\/p>\n 16. Cursed be he that setteth light by his father. What follows refers to the Second Table of the Law; and, first, He pronounces those cursed who should be undutiful ( impii) to their parents; for the word קלל, kalal, (201) which means to despise, as well as to curse, is put in opposition to the honor which, by the Fifth Commandment, is due to our father and mother. Then He mentions such thefts as generally escape the knowledge of men; as also, He only adverts to those acts of fornication which are anxiously concealed on account of their filthiness. To have connection with a beast, with one’s mother-in-law, or step-mother, or sister, is so unnatural and detestable a crime, that it is generally concealed more carefully. But God admonishes us that, whatever modes of concealment the sinner shall adopt, they will profit him nothing, but that, when He shall at length ascend His judgment-seat, their shame shall be discovered. For the same reason he does not curse all murderers, but only such as have shed innocent blood for hire, which nefarious compact cannot easily be discovered so as to be punished by laws. (202) <\/p>\n (201) He assumes, what is scarcely tenable, that מקלה is derived from קלל rather than from קלה — W <\/p>\n (202) “Des hommes.” — Fr. <\/p>\n THOUGHT QUESTIONS 27:1526<\/p>\n 473.<\/p>\n Try to imagine the great attraction of idolatry. There must have been some rationalization, attempt to express it.<\/p>\n 474.<\/p>\n What is meant by the use of the word light as used in Deu. 27:16<\/span>?<\/p>\n 475.<\/p>\n Are we to believe a man could be put to death for changing a property line?<\/p>\n 476.<\/p>\n Why would anyone be so cruel as to mislead a blind man?<\/p>\n 477.<\/p>\n Kindness and generosity was a very prominent part of Israels morality. Why?<\/p>\n 478.<\/p>\n Why mention his fathers skirt in the case of adultery with the wife of the father?<\/p>\n 479.<\/p>\n Was morality so lax in Israel, or was there some other reason for these regulations?<\/p>\n 480.<\/p>\n What is involved in the word confirmeth in Deu. 27:26<\/span>?<\/p>\n AMPLIFIED TRANSLATION 27:1526<\/p>\n 15 Cursed be the man who makes a graven or molten image, an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret. All the people shall answer, Amen. COMMENT 27:1526<\/p>\n It is quickly seen that most of these curses have been discussed in previous chapters.<\/p>\n GRAVEN OR MOLTEN IMAGE (Deu. 27:15<\/span>)See Deu. 4:15-19<\/span>, notes, Deu. 5:8-10<\/span>.<\/p>\n AND SETTETH IT UP IN SECRET (Deu. 27:15<\/span>)Lest his fellow-Israelite or leaders discover his sin, (Like Rachel, who hid the teraphim under the camels saddle without even her husbands knowledge, Gen. 31:32-35<\/span>). But the eyes of Jehovah are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good (Pro. 15:3<\/span>). He seeth under the whole heaven (Job. 28:24<\/span>), Cf. 2Ch. 16:9<\/span>, Pro. 5:21<\/span>.<\/p>\n HE THAT SETTETH LIGHT BY HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER (Deu. 27:16<\/span>)he who is making light of his father and his mother (Youngs Literal); he who dishonors his father or his mother (R.S.V.); he who insults his father or mother (Torah). Setteth light by is a rendering of the Heb, verb Kalah, which Baumgartners Lexicon defines as treat with contempt. See Lev. 20:9<\/span>, Eze. 22:7<\/span>, and our previous discussion under Deu. 21:18-21<\/span>.<\/p>\n HE THAT REMOVETH HIS NEIGHBORS LANDMARK (Deu. 27:17<\/span>)See Deu. 19:14<\/span>, notes.<\/p>\n THAT MAKETH THE BLIND TO WANDER (Deu. 27:18<\/span>)See also Lev. 19:14<\/span>. It is difficult to conceive of one so inhumane as to mistreat or deceive the blind, but in our own generation we have witnessed such in the sadistic and cruel treatment of elderly men and women who are robbed, abused or beaten on the streets.<\/p>\n JUSTICE DUE THE SOJOURNER, FATHERLESS, AND WIDOW (Deu. 27:19<\/span>)Cf. Deu. 1:16-18<\/span>, Deu. 10:17-18<\/span>; Deu. 16:19<\/span>, Deu. 24:17-18<\/span>, notes: Exo. 22:21-24<\/span>.<\/p>\n HE THAT LIETH WITH HIS FATHERS WIFE (Deu. 27:20<\/span>)See Deu. 22:30<\/span>, notes.<\/p>\n HE THAT LIETH WITH ANY MANNER OF BEAST (Deu. 27:21<\/span>)See Deu. 23:18<\/span>, notes. Cf. Exo. 22:19<\/span>, Lev. 18:23<\/span>; Lev. 20:15<\/span>.<\/p>\n HE THAT LIETH WITH HIS SISTER (Deu. 27:22<\/span>)This curse applies to half sisters as well as full sisters. See Lev. 18:6-18<\/span>, esp. Lev. 18:9<\/span>. Also Lev. 20:17<\/span>.<\/p>\n HE THAT LIETH WITH HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW (Deu. 27:23<\/span>)See also Lev. 20:14<\/span>. A careful reading of Leviticus, chapters 18 and 20, will show how God abhorred any kind of incest, adultery, or fornication, under the Mosaic code. And surely this fact is clear from the many condemnations of these sins we have found in this book.<\/p>\n HE THAT SMITETH HIS NEIGHBOR IN SECRET (Deu. 27:24<\/span>)See Deu. 4:41-43<\/span> and especially Deu. 19:1-13<\/span>, notes. The reference here is obviously to premeditated murder.<\/p>\n HE THAT TAKETH A BRIBE TO SLAY AN INNOCENT PERSON (Deu. 27:25<\/span>)Compare Deu. 10:17-19<\/span>, Deu. 16:18-20<\/span>; Deu. 25:1<\/span>; Exo. 23:1-3<\/span>; Exo. 23:6-8<\/span>.<\/p>\n CURSED BE HE THAT CONFIRMETH NOT THE WORDS OF THIS LAW TO DO THEM (Deu. 27:26<\/span>)Compare Deu. 26:16-19<\/span>. Again and again the necessity of doing the words of the law is emphasized. This was a prerequisite of Gods fullest blessing. But this very truth pointed up the need of a Redeemer. The fact that no one (save the Lord Jesus) kept the law completely and perfectly, meant that the law itself served as their condemning agent. Thus Paul affirms, For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them. Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for The righteous shall live by faith; and the law is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in them. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us . . . See Gal. 3:9-14<\/span>.<\/p>\n (16) Cursed be he that setteth light.<\/strong>The first curse points to the first two commandments of the first table, and the second to the first commandment in the second table. If we mark off the first offence specified, secret idolatrythe only one which distinctly recalls the first <\/em>commandment of the Law, and also the last general curse which embraces all transgression whatever, the intervening offences seem more easily arranged. We have duty to parents enforced (Deu. 27:16<\/span>) and the rights of neighbours (Deu. 5:17<\/span>), the blind (Deu. 27:18<\/span>), and the unprotected (Deu. 27:19<\/span>) come next. The next four precepts are all concerned with purity, first in the nearer, afterwards in the more distant relations (Deu. 27:20-23<\/span>). The last two precepts concern slander and treachery (Deu. 27:24-25<\/span>). Evidently the offences specified are examples of whole classes of actions; and the twelve curses may have some reference to the number of the tribes.<\/p>\n Deu 27:16 Cursed [be] he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.<\/p>\n Ver. 16. That setteth light.<\/strong> ] That despises, undervalues, not only that curses, as Exo 21:17<\/span> .<\/p>\n NASB (UPDATED) TEXT: Deu 27:16<\/p>\n 16Cursed is he who dishonors his father or mother. And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’<\/p>\n Deu 27:16 dishonors To make small or of little weight (BDB 885 II, KB 1101, Hiphil PARTICIPLE). It is the opposite of the Hebrew word honor (BDB 457, cf. Deu 5:16; Exo 20:12). It may specifically refer to a child cursing his parents (cf. Exo 21:17; Lev 20:9), but the term itself means lack of respect and honor, which could denote disobedience. Religious instruction came through the parents (cf. Deu 4:9-10; Deu 4:20-25; Deu 6:7; Deu 11:19; Deu 32:46). Rejection of parents resulted in defective faith!<\/p>\n setteth light. Compare Exo 21:17. Lev 19:3. <\/p>\n Deu 21:18-21, Exo 20:12, Exo 21:17, Lev 19:3, Pro 30:11-17, Eze 22:7, Mat 15:4-6 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Gen 4:11 – General Gen 9:25 – Cursed Lev 20:9 – curseth Deu 5:16 – that thy days Jdg 17:2 – cursedst 2Sa 18:9 – taken up Pro 6:20 – General Pro 20:20 – curseth Pro 23:22 – Hearken Isa 45:10 – General Mar 7:10 – Whoso Rom 1:30 – disobedient Eph 6:2 – General Col 3:20 – obey 1Ti 1:9 – murderers Heb 12:9 – we gave<\/p>\n Deu 27:16.
