Scripture Post #2,029: *RESPECT YOUR ELDERS*

Leviticus 19:32:

“Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD.”

Leviticus 19:32 Expanded Bible (EXB):

“‘Show respect to old people; stand up in their presence [Prov. 16:31; 20:29]. ·Show respect also to [Fear] your God. I am the Lord.”

*RESPECT YOUR ELDERS* and honor those who’ve come before you. Likewise, show reverence to the LORD Who’s come before those who’ve come before you. The GOD Who has no beginning, but always was. 

It wasn’t just good to respect the elderly, it was (Old Testament) Law.
