“For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:”
For Moses said, honor your father and your mother, and anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death — the Corban example begins with the Torah command: Exodus 20:12 (honor your father and mother) and Exodus 21:17 (anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death). The double citation establishes that the command to honor parents is not merely advisory but among the Torah's most serious requirements, backed by capital penalty for its violation. This is the divine command that the Corban tradition will be shown to violate.
