Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Deuteronomy 5:16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
The word "honour" in these two verses is from the Hebrew word "kabad".[1] As a root word, it includes the letters KufBeitLamed ^דבכ^ and can mean to honor in the sense of make heavy or fatten, promote or even prosper. The first place we see the word "kabad" in this root form is in Genesis 13:2[2] where it is translated "rich".
In the New Testament we see the word timao[3] repeated seven times[4] concerning the word translated honor in relationship to your parents. The word actually has the meaning of something valued or given value.
The word certainly is not talking about simply obeying your parents or doing what they say but has to do with caring for them and providing for them whenever they are in need.
The Pharisees often used their system of welfare to care for their parents saying the sacrifice they made to the temple should provide for them. Jesus said the system of forced sacrifice set up by them through Herod called Corban was making the word of God to none effect because the people did no more ought for their parents.
The Social Security system today often produces the same results because in principle it is identical to the Corban of the Pharisees. When FDR set up that system he and the people were openly violating several of the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 and the warnings of Christ and the Apostles and are now in need of repentance.
