About this sermon
Exodus 21:15 says whoever strikes his father or mother must be put to death. Two verses later: whoever curses his father or mother must be put to death. Dr. Charlie Trimm, who teaches Old Testament at Talbot, argues that both key words are far stronger in Hebrew than they sound in English and that once you see what they meant, the punishment starts to look proportionate rather than draconian.
