Sabbath after first commandment; honor parents as Creator-type

For having commanded beforehand and said, ‘You will love the Lord your God from whole heart, and from whole understanding, and from whole strength’; and indeed: ‘And there will not be for you other gods besides me’; he joined at once Christ’s mystery, saying after: ‘Remember the day of the Sabbaths to make holy.’ For this path is both beautiful and necessary, and a way of most God-fitting craftsmanship, and producing the most complete benefit for those learning what it is fitting to know. And at any rate the Savior said toward the Father and God in the heavens: ‘And this is the eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent.’ For the word about Son accompanies necessarily the word about Father, and the knowledge upon both is very near-doored. At any rate rebuking Jews having missed the truth, through not receiving the Son, yet thinking that they have known God, he was saying: ‘You know neither me nor my Father; if you had known me, you would also have known my Father.’ For the knowledge of each is brought in together upon both. Therefore having laid down beforehand as it were some necessary foundation the exact thing unto God-knowledge, and having rooted beforehand in them the knowledge of the lawgiver, he comes down upon the human things, and sets as neighbor and joined at once to the reverence unto God also the reverence unto father and mother, through whom we have been brought into being and existing at all, God nodding, they having as it were a second taxis of the Craftsman; for with divine nods and a self-taught craft nature life-forms in herself the thing being born; yet she under-molds as it were a craftsmanly glory; and just as God is beginning and genesis of all things, inasmuch as Maker and Craftsman, so also each of those having completed unto parents is as it were some root of genesis for the child born from him, and a spring of the passage unto being. Unto a type then of the craftsman of all things is the under-work of father and mother unto existence, unto all those upon the earth. Therefore the law has commanded that the honor unto them be made more forward than the other things, neither having stood the ones having chosen to honor off from prizes, nor freeing from penalty those not enduring to do this; for he crowns the well-born and holy judgment with honors; yet the one not holding thus he loads down with the last evils; for ‘Honor,’ he says, ‘your father, in order that it may become well for you, and you will be long-timed upon the earth.’ Therefore as it were some prize and exceptional award unto life, and the going unto longest time, for those willing to honor, yet having hung death over the boastful and insolent ones, the law sets fear over as it were some pedagogue frightening toward the straight. For he said again: ‘Whoever strikes his father or mother, let him end by death; and the one speaking-evil of his father or mother will end by death.’ Look then that he punishes every manner of the sin unto them in equal measure, and again he is seen clearly setting the parents’ just things near the things about God. For just as upon God, the fault of tongue is honored with death and with the unto
