Mother. The superiority of the Hebrew, over all contemporaneous systems of legislation and of morals, is strongly shown in the higher estimation, of the mother in the Jewish family, as contrasted with modern Oriental, as well as ancient Oriental and classical usage. The king's mother, as appears in the case of Bath-sheba, was treated with special honor. Exodus 20:12; Leviticus 19:3; Deuteronomy 5:16; Deuteronomy 21:18; Deuteronomy 21:21; 1 Kings 2:29; Proverbs 10:1; Proverbs 15:20; Proverbs 17:25; Proverbs 29:15; Proverbs 31:1; Proverbs 31:30.
