Honor your father and your mother

This is the first commandment in what we call the second table of the Law: that portion of the commandments that dictate not how we live before God, but how we live with one another. It is the commandment that dictates how society should function, how society itself will reflect a Godly attitude, or not.

It is this commandment that forms the foundation of the second table. All of the remaining commandments depend upon this commandment, just as all 10 commandments depend upon the first.

And all of this begins with "Honor your father and your mother."
