New Defender's Study Bible Notes
22:7 set light by father and mother. Not only had Israel broken the sixth commandment (against killing—Exodus 20:13), but also the fifth commandment, dishonoring their parents (Exodus 20:12), the fourth commandment, profaning the Sabbath (Ezekiel 22:8; see Exodus 20:8-11), the seventh commandment, committing many types of forbidden sexual sins (Ezekiel 22:10-11), the eighth commandment against stealing (Ezekiel 22:12; Exodus 20:15), the ninth commandment, carrying false tales (Ezekiel 22:9; Exodus 20:16), and the tenth commandment against all forms of covetousness (Ezekiel 22:11-12; Exodus 20:17), not even to mention the most flagrant sin of all, erecting and worshipping false gods in the name of the true God, thus despising the first three commandments (Exodus 20:3-7).
