Commentary on Leviticus 19:32

Theological / Devotional

The hoary head. This command amplifies the fifth commandment. Reverence and respect are fundamental virtues. Irreverence, disrespect, and lack of serious thought have ever been besetting sins. This is the day of youth. They are indeed the hope of the world and of the church. But this does not imply setting aside men of age and experience, nor disregard for their counsel.

Fear thy God. This command is always present truth. The church in our day is admonished, “Fear God, and give glory to him” (Rev. 14:7).
