“For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.”
You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions — the indictment is structural: the tradition of the elders has been prioritized over the commands of God to the point where the tradition violates the commands. Let go of the commands of God is not merely neglect but active prioritization of the tradition over the command. Holding on to human traditions communicates the tenacity with which the tradition is maintained even when it contradicts the divine intent.
