Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee,.... And is the first commandment with promise, as the apostle observes, Ephesians 6:2 with a promise of long life and happiness in the land of Canaan, as follows:
that thy days may be prolonged; see Exodus 20:12 here it is added,
and that it may go well with thee; and which the apostle also has in the place referred to:
in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee; the land of Canaan; which the same apostle explains to a greater latitude,
that thou mayest live long on the earth; applying it to Christians under the Gospel dispensation, whether Jews or Gentiles.
