It¹¹⁴The exact parallel is in Sifra Qedoshim 2–7; an almost identical quote is in Babli Qidddushin 30b. is said (Lev. 19:3): “Everybody must fear his mother and his father,” and it is said (Deut. 6:13): “You must fear the Eternal, your God, and serve Him.” This brackets the fear of father and mother with the fear of Heaven. It is said (Ex. 20:12): “Honor your father and your mother,” and it is said (Prov. 3:9): “Honor the Eternal with your property.” This brackets the honor of father and mother with the honor of the Omnipresent. Is is said (Ex. 21:17): “He who curses his father or his mother shall be put to death,” and it is said (Lev. 24:19): “Everybody who curses his God must bear his sin.” This brackets cursing father and mother with cursing the Omnipresent. It is impossible to speak about hitting relative to the Deity¹¹⁵It is written (Ex. 21:15): “He who hits his father or mother must be put to death.” This law cannot have a parallel in relation to the Deity.. All this is logical since all three of them are partners in his creation¹¹⁶Since father and mother contribute the animal part of his being and God gives soul, spirit, and life (Babli Niddah 31a)..

What is fear¹¹⁷Sifra Qedoshim 10, Babli Qiddushin 61b. What is classified here as “honor” is described in Tosephta Qiddushin 1:11 as “obligation of the son towards his parents.”? He may not sit in his place and may not speak in his stead¹¹⁸If the father is present. nor contradict his words. What is honor? He feeds and gives him to drink, clothes him and puts on his shoes, leads him out and in¹¹⁹If the parent can no longer do these things.. From whose money? Huna bar Ḥiyya¹²⁰A Babylonian Amora of the second/third generation, student of Rav Huna and Rav Jehudah, and son-in-law of Rav Jeremiah bar Abba. In the Babli, his statement is attributed to Rav Nathan bar Oshaia, a minor authority contemporary with Rav Huna bar Ḥiyya, and the statement that “some want to say” is attributed to Rav Jehudah. Even though Rav Jehudah is the much more important authority, his opinion is rejected in the Babli, in contrast to the Yerushalmi two paragraphs down. said, from the old man’s. Some want to say, from his own. Did not Rebbi Abbahu say in the name of Rebbi Yose bar Ḥanina: From where do we know that even if his father tells him to throw the wallet into the sea that he should obey him¹²¹In the Babli, this is one of the examples of Rebbi Eliezer about the seriousness of the obligation of honoring father and mother. The question is, why should the son be obliged to throw his own wallet (full of money) into the sea when he has to feed and clothe his parents from his own money? Hence, R. Abbahu must agree that the old parents must be cared for from their own money.? That is¹²²The proof from the statement of R. Abbahu is not conclusive. There are two conditions to be fulfilled in order that the son should follow his father’s command: First, that the implications for the wealth of either parent or child are negligible and, second, that the act will have a positive influence on the mental health of the disturbed parent [otherwise, as the Babli points out explicitly, the son would infringe on the Biblical prohibition of wanton destruction and, as the verse Lev. 19:3 makes clear, one is not permitted to follow one’s parents orders to commit a sin.], if he has another one and if it helps to quiet his father’s spirit.

Both men and women¹²³Even though the verse Lev. 19:3 is formulated: “A man must fear his mother and his father,” a woman is also obligated. It is then explained why the obligation of the man only is unconditional and spelled out.. Only the man has the power in his hand, but the woman does not have the power in her own hand because others have disposition over her¹²⁴She can only care for her parents with the consent of her husband who has the administration of her property.. If she is widowed or divorced, the power is in her own hand.
