The command of Exodus 20:12 Occupies a significant position in the Ten Commandments, or Ten Words. (Exodus 20:1-17) The commands preceding it defined the Israelite's obligations to God, such as their obligations to worship only him. The commands following it defined their obligations to fellow humans, including the commands to be faithful to one's spouse and not to steal. Thus, the commands to "honor your father and your mother" has been viewed as a natural bridge between the two sets of requirements. Read Exodus Chapter 20 along with the explanatory footnotes and cross-references.
