Cross-reference

In Exodus 20:12, the command to honor parents is given; the Rechabites' obedience in 35:18 exemplifies this foundational law.

In Deuteronomy 5:16, the same honor-parents command is repeated; the Rechabites' faithful obedience fulfills it.

In Ephesians 6:1-3, Paul cites the honor-parents command and applies it to children; the Rechabites' obedience is a living example.

In Ephesians 6:2, the command to honor parents is quoted; the Rechabites' actions in 35:18 perfectly demonstrate this.
