* 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.
