Honor your father and mother;
which is the first commandment with promise;
Read Chapter 6
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Because the first four commandments pertain to God, it is implied that they are contained in the first table. The second table pertains to humans, that they should honor their parents, not murder, not commit adultery, not steal, not bear false witness and covet none of their neighbors’ goods. These six commandments are viewed as written on the second table. .
A promise is attached to this commandment…. It is found in the Decalogue. It is the first command in the second table of the law. It was given to the people as they were leaving Egypt. .
