- 20:9 Curses father or mother…put to death: this is more than a simple expletive uttered in anger against one’s parents. See note on Ex 21:17.
- 20:9–21 Bloodguilt: these penalties, beginning with cursing one’s parents, reflect the concerns of a patriarchal society that the breakdown of one’s relations with one’s parents can lead to the breakdown of all other familial relationships, resulting in the breakdown of society.
- 20:10–21 See 18:6–23 and notes there. It appears that the inclusion of various penalties in 20:10–21 accounts for the different order of the cases here compared to the order found in 18:6–23. The reason why the offenses in 20:10–21 carry different penalties, however, is not clear. Perhaps the cases in vv. 17–21 were considered slightly less serious, being condemned but not criminally prosecuted.
Leviticus 20:9-11

10 “‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife(E)—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death.(F)
11 “‘If a man has sexual relations with his father’s wife, he has dishonored his father.(G) Both the man and the woman are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.(H)
